Access control ???

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

you can have a little bit control by using the "caller id" of the incoming
call to decide whether you want to accept the call or not.

You can not enter some kind of password or destination in the fax
protocol, this is simply not part of the fax specs.
