adaptive answering
adaptive answering
(communications)A feature which allows a faxmodem to answer
the telephone and decide whether the incoming call is a fax or
data call. Most Class 1 faxmodems do this. The
U.S. Robotics Class 1 implementation however seems not to do
it, it must be set to answer as either one or the other.
