You should be able to send a fax during a phone call if you have a standard
telephone plugged into the SAME TELEPHONE LINE as the Fax modem AND you go
into modem properties and select to NOT wait for a dialtone. I haven't
tried this under Windows XP yet, but one used to be able to turn off the
"wait for dialtone" feature, compose a fax with a short (1 or 2 digit) bogus
phone number, make the phonecall to a person-assisted Fax machine with the
telephone, and send the fax to the person talking on the handset of this
dedicated Fax machine by telling him/her to press the "Start" button when
your modem finish sending the 1 or 2 touchtones you gave for the bogus
number.
