Stephen, I saw a similar problem on my test machine a while ago.  I hate
to sound simplistic, but is there any chance call-waiting has been enabled
on the line?  Or perhaps it's a PBX based system that signals through when
a second line is ringin?  I just seem to actually remember saying the
words "catastrophic line noise" before we figured that out.

Also, Lee, can't he set the # of bad lines higher?  That might get him
past the threshold he's facing.  He'll get uglier faxes, but more of them.
