recognizing distinctive ring

[Randy]

My phone line supports distinctive ring pattern for
identifying fax versus voice calls, XP does not.
As such, all calls are answered as fax calls.
Anyone have any ideas as how to work around this in XP
and have calls identified distincively?

It's not a feature included in the NT kernel operating systems but can be
included in the software you use for fax vs. voice.

www.pigeonline.com is a shareware program which includes this feature.

Your modem's hardware _and_ its XP drivers need to support this. It is
not, strictly speaking, an OS issue.
