Are you unsure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a
distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one
phone line.
When you subscribe to this service, each phone number will have a different ring
pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the
different numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your
voice calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This
allows you to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.

the HP Fax?
