I read a bit about it some time ago; I was trying to set up mgetty+sendfax 
etc. afair, it does act after the caller hears a ringing tone; I suspect 
it also means an answered call & so is charged.


Like Brad, I could well be wrong; it would be well to check with Telstra 
about the charging aspect.

I abandoned mgetty+sendfax when I discovered it's incapable of driving 
Class 1 faxmodems, and that's precisely what Banksias are.
