What may be problematic more than anything is Winfax. I use version
3.0 (I don't have 4.0), and I know of no way to receive a fax "on the fly"--
as far as I know, you have to let it pick up a call when it rings. I don't
think its a function of the modem in any way, but rather a function of the
software. What software will provide for what you want? I don't know--
its not a big deal for me and I like Winfax, so I stick with it.

Buy a phone line "Y" Splitter. You can stick the phone in one,
and a cord to the modem on the other. Baby simple. My modem is hooked up
like that right now.
