AppleFax Modem: It Waits 2 Minutes After A Call To Disconnect


Some people have asked why the AppleFax modem seems not to disconnect
automatically if the modem was dialed accidentally from an outside line (for
example, a wrong number).

Although the caller has hung up, the modem does not immediately disconnect.

The AppleFax modem eventually DOES time out and disconnect. However, the
timeout does not occur until 2 minutes into the "no modem found" condition.
