Telstra FaxStream™ Duet (Only for Australia)

Return to Overview

In Australia, Telstra offers the FaxStream™ Duet capability. If you subscribe to this service, your line is assigned two numbers: one for fax and one for phone. When the fax number is called, the network sends a specific ringing tone which your machine recognizes and automatically handles as a fax call. If the phone number is called, a different ringing tone is sent out from the network so that the call is handled as a voice call. This means that there is no switching delay at the caller's end.
Contact Telstra for connection information.
