SUMMARY
Versions 1.1.2 and 3.0 of the Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks Gateway to Fax can be run on a Mail for AppleTalk Networks server that has other gateways installed. If the other gateways require use of a data modem and the printer port is being used for a network connection, you must use a combination fax/data modem. Fax gateway is configured to use the modem port.

If fax gateway is in Send mode, it will only attempt to use the modem port to send a fax and then release the modem port for other gateways to use.

When running fax gateway in Receive mode, the Gateway Connect Times screen should have the Pause box checked if other gateway(s) need to use the modem attached to the modem port. This will cause fax gateway to release the modem port once every 2 hours so that the other gateway(s) will be able to use the modem port. Also, all incoming calls will be answered by fax gateway, unless you configure the Gateway Connect Times so that each gateway's access to the modem does not overlap with another gateway. This is because BackRas may independently schedule the FaxInit to look for incoming calls.
