the fax software yor using should have the featur to count the number
of rings and pick up the phone line acordingly, so if you set it to
five rings then it givs you the opertunity to pick it up. Unfortunatly
it is imposible to tell weather fax is tying to be sent or it?s just
some one calling you as the ring is identical for both.
