Abstract

See full text

A facsimile forwarding phone system for receiving, storing and transmitting facsimile data includes a facsimile forwarding device that receives, stores and transmits facsimile data to a remote destination device. The facsimile forwarding device generates simulated public switched telephone network (PSTN) signals and outputs them over the telephone line to the destination device, so that it appears to the destination device that it is directly attached to the public switched telephone network. The facsimile forwarding device generates a ring signal and sends it over the phone line to the destination device. Thus, it appears to the destination device that it is directly connected to the public switched telephone network, rather that to the facsimile forwarding device. The destination device may include remote facsimile machines and remote computer systems. The stored facsimile data is transmitted upon the facsimile forwarding phone system receiving a forwarding request. The forwarding request can be input on an input panel of the facsimile forwarding device or remotely.
