  • Facsimile apparatus, line control board and communication control method
    Patent number: 6452697
    Abstract: In the case that a PC sends a call to a called site on a telephone line network, but fails in its connection, the PC and a modem of a facsimile apparatus are connected. Then, the telephone number and image data of the called site are stored in a RAM of the facsimile apparatus. After storage is completed, the telephone line network and the modem of the facsimile apparatus are connected. Then, a call is sent to the called site and the image data is sent to the called site. This allows connection to be made to the PC without using a dedicated interface and prevents burdening on the PC in redialing in the case that there is no answer from the called site.
