Abstract
A method for providing a never-busy fax service wherein a customer's fax machine appears to be never busy to a caller. The method avoids loop-back charges which limit the usefulness of present implementations of never-busy fax and allow for a nation-wide never-busy fax service utilizing a server with toll-free inbound phone lines.
