Fax Server
The fax server allows you to send and receive faxes via a modem
connected directly to a server port (COM or USB) or through a
virtual IAX modem.
The modem must support sending and receiving faxes preferably in class 1 or 1.0 (2, 2.0 and 2.1 classes are also supported).

- PBX Prefix
- If the fax modem is connected to a PABX, you may need to enter an access code to "get an outside line."
If the modem is directly connected to a line, or the PBX requires no code, leave the field empty.
If you are behind a PBX, enter the prefix to be dialed.
- Wait for dial tone
Some modems are not capable of recognizing a dial tone
(especially if connected to a PBX) and do not dial the number
signalling the absence of tone (error "No Dial Tone").
To configure the modem to ignore the absence of line and
immediately dial the number select Disabled. The recommended setting is
"Enabled", you may want to disable * Wait for dial tone * only in case of problems.
