You are asking me why the faxes are going through the system because there are separate phone number directed to each fax machine?
1. Well, I have a T1 which has 24 trunks available. I would like to use those trunks to service the fax machine. If I were to purchase those trunks separately, it would cost probably $40 a line.
2. You can have a separate number for each fax machine with a T1. Its called Direct inward dialing I think. Its when the phone company send the last 4 numbers on the number dialed. The phone system can redirect based on those last 4 numbers to an extension(in this case, the particular fax machine) This is accomplished in MMC 714 on my system.
I don't understand why this is something unusual?
