Windows XP does not support Distinctive Ring:

Distinctive Ring Is Not Supported by Windows 2000 Fax
Some third party hardware devices can provide a work-around:

Emerson Switchboard

ComSwitch®
There is no way that I know of to remotely press the manual receive button
other than with PC Anywhere, VNC, or the like.

| Quote: | I use a fax program on my computer. This is a company computer connected to
one telephone line and there are many telephones connected to this line.
The
program used is Windows XP Fax Console. It is configured to start
manually.
Problem is that I'm not allways seat in front of my computer to press the
button. Is there a way to configure the program to start receiving
automatically? By example, if I answer the phone somewhere far far away in
the building, I hear a fax tone then I press a button witch tells computer
to recieve right away.
I've tried automatic reception after 4 rings but then fax competes with
answering machine and it doesn't differentiate voice from fax signal.
Thank you
