Fax or modem?
My answerphone does an auto 1471 look up, and in the past couple of hours it has received calls but with no message left. The number it retrieves is 0160 438 4600.
I have dialled this number but get the usual bleeps and buzzing you get if you dial a fax machine. I have tried to send a fax but failed, could this be a modem, and how can I trace the owner to ask them to sort this out.

Re: Fax or modem?
It'll probably be more like a fax machine. Is it still happening? If so the fax is probably set to autodial after each failure.
I don't think you can trace the number yourself.

When this has happened in the past, a quick fax to the number is usually enough, I have tried to send a fax but it fails each time.

Re: Fax or modem?
You can trace the number if:
1. It's listed
2. You use something like the Platinum edition of the UKInfo Disc, which lets you perform a reverse search.
By the way, 01604 is in Northampton.

DOH, my fat fingers it should be 0161 438 4600 a Manchester number, 
If I try to fax it my software reports "attempting to handshake" then cuts out with a failure message.
