Hi Dale,
For your fax modem to use the Silent Answer Mode you need to split the
line before it goes into your modem. One line will go into the modem, the
other line into your phone and answering machine (the answering machine
needs to be the type that shuts off if you pick up the phone, if it
doesn't you will need the switch.) Set GPFax so that it will wait two
rings longer than the answering machine. When a phone call comes in, your
modem will monitor what the answering machine is doing if it hears the
change tone then it will pick up the phone line. When the answering
machine sees that the phone line has been picked up by the modem it will
shut off. If you pick up the phone and hear the change tone just hang up
the phone.
Silent Answer works fine for me.
