The AG's office has a wierd setup for faxes.

After a ring, there's an automated answer which says they're connecting you.  After about 40 secs, the voice says there's no answer, but if you want to send a fax, wait for the tone, which follows immediatly.

My Cheyenne Bit-Ware couldn't handle that so I added 4 commas after the phone # in the phone book and changed the comma delay to 10 sec. each comma.  That didn't work until my friend pointed out that there was no 1 in the dial string.  Apparently adding the delay somehow superceded adding the 1 to the start of the dial string and I ended up having to enter the number
in the phonebook this way:  19163235341,,,,   instead of 9163235341,,,,

Anybody with a manual fax machine can push the button, but with a computer fax, you have to out fox the computer to get the fax.

hope this helps.
