I have been trying all evening to implement this suggestion with no luck
because if we set up the call routes to route back to itself it considers
it a loop and has an error. We will be going on-site physically on
Thursday and may try a patch cable to take it out of the TNT and back in.
Doing everything digitally does make some simple things more complicated.

Testing another modem type on the same line is a bit of a problem because
we have a DS-3 connected directly into the TNT and everything is handled
digitally. It's not like we are plugging a PC card faxmodem into a POTS
line.

I thought so at first but it is very sporadic. I have only one fax line
configured (at the moment) so there is only a few places it could be. But
I can send and receive faxes for quite a while very successfully and then
that will pop up. I think it tends to happen more if the TNT disconnects
my telnet session to it set up via the PortRedirect script.
