Receiving faxes via a fixed line connection
There are three ways to receive a fax via a fixed line connection:
• Waiting to receive a fax: the Message program answers the incoming fax
call, and then receives the fax.
• Online receiving: you set up a connection using a phone, and then instruct
the Message program to receive the fax.
• Dial faxback service, or dialling a fax poll: you dial the number of a
faxback service and you are automatically sent a fax in return.
