    hi there
    good info sofar, mfd's could also have answering phone/machine etc or will ansa machine work seperately to mfds? sometimes ansa machines answer on faxes, how to avoid this?

    Answering Machines Jon Hillis -- 27/11/08 (in reply to #120107406)

    Hi Anon,

    To my knowledge no MFD has answering machine capabilities. These are limited to small retail faxes or small commercial faxes with optional capabilities.
