[Blindtlk] Need help connecting wires!

[Cindy Handel]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the information.  I could do it this way, but if I do, then how 
would I use the fax modem to send faxes?

I realized, when I saw your reply that this question went to the wrong list, 
by mistake.  So, if you'd like to reply off list, that's fine.

Cindy
