Using Phone Tools with an external answering machine

[Andrew Gelbman]

How do I use Classic Phone tools with an external phone/answering machine plugged into the same modem?

I tried to set it up but the fax won't answer when fax tones are played into the answering machine.

Correct. With 2 seperate machines, which ever one is set to pick up first always will and the other machine will never get the calls. Classic Phonetools has to be set to less rings than the Answering machine in order to be able to receive.
