Instructions for using Winfax Lite/Pro 2.0 and Silent Answer

You must locate the two devices on separate extensions to make silent
answer work correctly.  This means you can not plug the answering machine
into the modem or vise versa.  You can split a single extension with
a duplex jack adapter.  Radio Shack commonly carries these, part number 
279-357, for $4.49. (From my current catalog)  The other important 
factor is that you must install the Class2 option, otherwise this will
not work.

1.  Run Winfax Administrator
2.  Choose "Fax"
3.  Choose "Setup"
4.  Choose "More"
5.  Change/Add to "Init String" to AT+FAA=2
6.  Choose "OK"
7.  Choose "OK"
8.  Choose "Receive"
9.  Choose "Receive Setup"
10. Choose "Automatic Reception Enabled"
    Change "Number of Rings till Answer" to 2 more rings then answering
    machine or what ever device will pick up the phone first.  I have
    my answering machine set for 3 rings and Winfax for 5 rings.  This
    value may vary and will probably require some initial trial and error.

	Note: The device that is picking up the line initially must answer
		  after the second ring.  This means you should set it to answer
		  on 3 rings for best results.

	Instructions for using Winfax Pro 3.0 and Silent Answer

Requires same placement of the phone devices as Winfax Lite/Pro 2.0.
Also requires you install the Class2 option, otherwise this will not work
either.

6.  Change "Modem Reset String" to ATZ\
7.  Choose "OK"
8.  Choose "OK"
9.  Choose "Receive"
10. Choose "Receive Setup"
10. Choose "Automatic Reception Enabled"
    Change "Number of Rings till Answer" to 2 more rings then answering
    machine or what ever device will pick up the phone first.  I have
    my answering machine set for 3 rings and Winfax for 5 rings.  This
    value may vary and will probably require some initial trial and error.

	Note: The device that is picking up the line initially must answer
		  after the second ring.  This means you should set it to 3 for
		  best results.

Hope that helps and happy hacking.....
