Hi Folks, new to the forum here. I had a question.

Would polarity have anything to do with faxing issues? I have a linksys ATA 2102 punched into a 110 to house cabling down 2 floors to a fax machine (Xerox Qube) the fax WILL NOT answer a fax from machine but if you call it it answers with tone; as well as plugging a handset into the jack you can have a 2 way conversation. Everything on this line right now is pointing to the fax machine and I wouldnt believe it's polarity - however my boss is telling me it may be polarity and well i just dont have enough education in this area to really give him a definitive answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
