When your machine polls for documents, it dials each number and, upon making
contact with the other machine, begins receiving the document as if the other
machine had placed the call. It will continue the process throughout the time period
you selected in steps 2–5.
Note: When you want to end a continuous polling operation, you must delete it
using the Review Commands feature (see page 2.18).
