 I have a question for anyone who is using one of those
 combination FAX & modem boxes:  On an incoming call, can
 the gadget differentiate between a modem calling, and a
 fax machine calling?

 And can it tell the PC it is hooked to which it is?

 And while I am at it, can a FAX machine *originate* a
 call, but then *receive* the FAX instead of sending it
 (sort of the reverse of what is normal fax behavior)?

 Thanks to all who respond!

 - Jay
