3-16-94                          Faxswitch

     If  you  want the faxmodem to work on a single phone line,  to  answer
incoming  fax  or voice/data, then you may want to use a  fax-switch.  This
recognises  the  fax  'beep' and routes the call the  the  correct  device.
Because  of the 'beep' recognising the FAX is easy. Neither data nor  voice
have any 'tone' so it cannot be distinguished between them. Whatever is NOT
a fax will be routed on the 2nd line coming out of the Fax-switch.

      We  have  not tested any Fax Switching devices with any of  our  Zoom
Faxmodems  or  software.  The  main question is,  does  the  Faxmodem  work
correctly without the device in place? If the faxmodem does work by itself,
then your particular device is the problem and you will have to talk to the
Mfr or try another device. The faxswitch must be between the modem and  the
'wall'.
     Radio  Shack  has two models of Fax-switches, and if  they  work  with
Radio Shack Faxmodems, will also work with Zoom Faxmodems.
