We live in a remarkable age in which information is available in overwhelming abundance. At the same time, we have become less in touch with the histories and legends of our own families. Not only are our elders the links to a treasured past, but the baby boomers who presently hold those stories act as the temporary keepers. What happens when either generation is no longer mentally or physically able to share those memories? Writer Anne Lamont, in her book "Bird by Bird," suggests that rather than taking on the insurmountable task of writing involved in capturing families stories, one needs to break it down into smaller, more manageable workable format. Join us in this informative and lively manner of storytelling, history sharing and videoing providing a lively look back. Fee: $75

Lobos Fall to Oklahoma, 10-5
March 3, 2012
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The University of New Mexico baseball team lost to 16th-ranked Oklahoma 10-5 on another chilly night at Isotopes Park in front of 1,533 fans Saturday. The Sooners did most of their damage with the bottom of their lineup in the fourth and fifth innings. They scored three runs in the fourth on five-straight hits, and scored four more in the fifth, with the big blow coming by way of a monster three-run home run by number-eight hitter Cody Reine. Reine finished the night 4-4 with three doubles, four runs scored, and four RBIs.
Rudy Jaramillo suffered his first loss of the season after allowing five runs, four of them earned, on nine hits. He struck out four and walked one. The game was put out of reach, however, when Bobby Mares came on in the fifth, and only managed to record one out while allowing those four runs.
"We have to pitch a lot better," UNM head coach Ray Birmingham said. "We're giving up way too many hits. OU is OU and they've got tremendous pitching, but we've got to be able to keep the ballgame in hand on the (mound)."
For the seventh straight game the Lobos allowed at least one run in the first inning. UNM right fielder John Pustay had to look up into a blinding sun and misjudged a high fly to allow Caleb Bushyhead to score.
The Lobos struck back to take the lead, however, in the bottom of the frame. Ben Woodchick was hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom of the inning. Two batters later Josh Melendez walked. Mitchell Garver drove home Woodchick with a liner to right, and then Erik Suarez knocked in Melendez with a looping base single to left.
Oklahoma starter Steven Okert settled in after that rough start, however, and did not allow another baserunner until Woodchick walked with one out in the fifth inning. Woodchick ended the day 2-3, with the walk and hit-by-pitch, and scored three of the Lobos five runs.
The Lobos tried to claw their way back after Damien Magnifico relieved Okert to start the seventh inning. They managed to score three runs of the 100 mph-throwing closer for the Sooners, but the deficit was too large to overcome.
"I thought the team competed well everywhere but on the mound," Birmingham said. "(Okert) was throwing really well; he's going to be a high draft pick. And the kid that closed (Magnifico) is going to be a high draft pick, too. We're scratching runs off some good pitching. We've got to pitch. We've got to keep the game in control on the mound."
Austin House is the probable starter for the Lobos as they try to prevent the series sweep on Sunday. The game's start has been moved up to noon to accommodate Oklahoma's travel schedule.

I approach psychotherapy from a systems prospective. We all grow up in a family that teaches us beliefs, values, and behaviors that persist throughout life. Understanding our past and how it may be impacting current relationships is sometimes an undesirable exercise; however, taking the strengths from our past and building on them is one goal of therapy. I find that engaging the past actually frees us to live a more congruent life that is filled with richer relationships.

Mayor lashed out over memorial to cop killer
JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY- People who memorialized a man who killed a police officer over the weekend got a tongue-lashing by the mayor of Jersey City.
Lawrence Campbell ambushed officer Melvin Santiago and Campbell's widow says she is sorry for Santiago's family but her husband should have killed more officers if they were planning to kill him.
Campbell was laster killed.
A memorial to him is on display in the neighborhood where he lived.
Mayor Steven Fulop called the memorial and Campbell's widow's comments "disgusting" and "ignorant" saying they aren't representative of the city.

The Jets backed up coach Rex Ryan's talk with a somewhat surprising rout of the New England Patriots. New York learned from the last time they faced the Pats in September, and chose to play mostly coverage instead of blitz. That plan seemed to do wonders, as the New York press largely limited Deion Branch, Wes Walker and many other players of the home team. The result was a close 28-21 win over the Patriots on their on turf. In regulation time, the Jets handed New York its second postseason loss in only twelve months. Vegas odds.
This win sends the Jets off to their second straight AFC Championship, and at the same time moved them up to 13-5. It did in fact come down to Ryan vs. Patriots' coach Bill Belichick, and Ryan certainly delivered. While the coach's gameplan was golden, the players were the ones that brought the magic. Second year QB Mark Sanchez went 16 of 25 for 194 and three touchdowns. He connected with LaDainian Tomilson on a 7-yard pass and Braylon Edwards for 15 yards in the second, and Santonio Holmes in the third to help his team seal their second playoff win this season. Betting lines.
WR Jerricho Cotchery was targeted a team-high seven times while leading his team in receiving with five receptions for 96 yards. However, it was Shonn Greene's 16-yard TD run in the fourth that stamped the victory over the Pats. After the scores, Greene put the ball on the ground to rest his head on it like a pillow. New York will go on to face the Pittsburgh Steelers next week in the Conference Championships. Sports scores.
Tom Brady was sacked five times while delivering 29 of 45 for 299 yards and two touchdowns, but Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski contributed little to nothing Sunday night. The Jets did press, but the Patriots just didn't look like the team with the league's highest record this season. Their second consecutive playoff loss was a very anti-climatic end to an outstanding season.

Two famous names returned to victory amid controversy over V8 Supercars' decision to test experimental fuel in Saturday's opening race of the Winton 360.
James Moffat, the son of touring car legend Allan, led home a breakthrough one-two by newcomer Nissan, which is one of two new makes joining Holden and Ford in V8 racing this year.
Assisted by the early demise of reigning champion Jamie Whincup, who started from pole position, Moffat dominated the second heat of the 40-lap Supersprint 60/60 race in his Nissan Altima to beat teammate Michael Caruso.
It was Nissan's first win in Australian touring car racing since the end of 1992, when the company was forced out by a ban on the all-conquering GT-R, while Moffat's first success in the main V8 championship came 25 years after his father's last win in Australia.
The emergence of Nissan and Moffat as first-time winners at the twisting three-kilometre Winton Motor Raceway, near Benalla in north-eastern Victoria, was tarnished by complaints from rivals that the upset result was aided by the Altimas using special fuel as part of a trial to make them more competitive in the coming long-distance endurance races.
Moffat's and Caruso's cars were allowed to run on a variation of the E85 ethanol fuel used in V8 racing using a higher percentage of petrol to help improve the Altima's fuel economy.
V8 Supercars decided to try the ethanol-reduced fuel blend for two of the four Nissans - and also one of the three new Mercedes-Benz AMG E63s - because the newcomers' production-based motors have struggled to match the fuel consumption of the heavily developed Holden and Ford race engines.
But the runaway performance of Moffat and Caruso, who were much quicker than the normal E85- fuelled cars of their teammates Rick and Todd Kelly, drew widespread criticism from the Ford and Holden camps.
The dissent was led by Whincup, who claimed the Nissan pair had a performance advantage after suffering a rare major mechanical failure that stopped his Triple Eight Commodore while he was ahead in the first heat.
''They've got some jungle juice in the car now which has given them a bit of a leg-up,'' Whincup said. ''They were quick.''
Both Moffat and V8 Supercars officials were adamant that while the different blend reduced fuel consumption, it had been tested to ensure there was no increase in engine power.
''This was no secret thing,'' Moffat said. ''All the teams signed off on it. It made absolutely no difference to our straight-line speed.
''V8s is looking at a different fuel blend to give us half a fighting chance at Bathurst.''
A V8 spokesman added: ''There was zero performance advantage.''
V8 Supercars advised that the Nissans and Mercedes would revert to the normal E85 fuel in Sunday's pair of 35-lap, 102km races
Both Nissan and Erebus Motorsport, which runs the AMGs, asked for a temporary fuel economy improvement to be able to compete with the Commodores and Falcons in the Bathurst 1000 in October.
Before the Sandown 500 in Melbourne next month, the Nissans and Mercedes are claimed to use 8 per cent to 12 per cent more fuel in racing conditions than the Fords and Holdens, which use engines developed to a peak over two decades.
Moffat, 29, from Melbourne, admitted that while the fuel controversy ''took some of the gloss off what's been a great day'', his first championship V8 race victory ''still feels great - winning is always good''.
''The Nissans have been handling really well and it worked for us here,'' Caruso said.

Canada gives aid to cattle and hog farmers
By Roberta Rampton
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Canadian cattle and hog farmers, struggling with high feed costs and low prices, will have access to a total of C$3.8 billion ($3.73 billion) in loans and aid early in 2008, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said on Friday.
Federal and provincial governments will provide C$2.3 billion in secured loan guarantees to the livestock sector, including C$1 billion in new credit, Ritz told reporters.
Loans will be capped at C$400,000 per producer, and the first C$100,000 will be interest-free, he said.
In addition, governments will accelerate access to C$1.5 billion in support programs, Ritz said.
Ritz said the programs will help livestock farmers weather poor returns brought on by record grain prices, poor meat prices, and the surging Canadian dollar, which has hurt the export value of meat and livestock.
"We've seen these peaks and valleys before; they've struggled through. It's a matter of the government giving them the help at the time," he said.
Ritz said the aid, which will be delivered through existing government programs, would comply with Canada's trade agreements, and he said he discussed them on Thursday with Chuck Conner, the acting U.S. agriculture secretary.
Livestock groups have been lobbying governments for weeks for help to cover mounting losses. Continued...

Vintage Mens Shorts
Most fashionable types think of shorts as an afterthought, permissible for boys and professional athletes, but never stylish on serious adults. Yet the range of khakis, cut-offs, lederhosen, jorts, basketball shorts, and any number of other styles is proof that short pants are an important part of the male wardrobe, and deserve a place of recognition in our sartorial history.
Men have not always been so ambivalent about shorts. In the late 16th century, knee breeches were a standard part of aristocratic menswear in Western Europe and the colonial United States. These buckskin or woolen breeches typically fastened with buttons or buckles at the waist—there was also a set of small buttons on the outside of the leg. For more formal occasions, short silk pants were worn with high white socks and white waistcoats over ruffled shirts. At the time, the youngest boys wore dresses until they were "breeched" and began wearing shorts, which typically occurred by age 6.
In France, the breeches worn by upper-class men were known as "culottes." Sometime during the late 18th century, these noble breeches were adopted by German peasants who made them from durable materials like leather to withstand rougher daily wear ("lederhosen" translates to "leather pants").
Up through the 19th century, parts of the British military wore white breeches that ended just below the knee and were layered with black gaiters that extended from knee to boot. These shorts were usually unlined, had a fall or "drop front" opening, and were detailed with regimental buttons along the outer seam.
Knee breeches fell out of fashion in the early 1800s as most adult men aside from servants transitioned to tighter, full-length pantaloons. By the end of the century, most westernized cultures reserved shorter knee-pants for boys, who transitioned to full-length trousers around puberty.
During the early 20th century, a new style of baggy pants that gathered in a tight cuff below the knee, known as knickerbockers, became popular among adults, particularly for athletic activities. Short trousers or "shorts" closer to their contemporary design weren't actually adopted until the early 1900s, when the British military adapted shorts into their uniforms for warmer, humid climates like India and North Africa.
British vacationers brought the loose, military-style "walking shorts" to the island of Bermuda in the 1930s, and eventually the look became called Bermuda shorts. Bermuda's stri...
During World War II, a fabric shortage in Bermuda pushed local bankers to adopt the style for business attire; the shorts were worn with knee-high socks, a dress shirt, tie, and blazer, which soon became the standard professional look in the subtropical region.
In postwar America, shorts were increasingly acceptable for casual leisure activities, especially as the temperate climate of California became the setting for countless films and television shows. From the board shorts of surfers to the denim cutoffs of the hippies, shorts were here to stay.

The St. Catharine College Patriots won two of three games last week to improve their record to 4-2 for the season. Two of the games were Mid-South Conference contests in which J.T. Burton's squad split to start the conference schedule at 1-1.
Officially they are known as the Mountain State Cougars. But the NAIA university in Beckley, West Virginia could easily use the San Francisco moniker of Giants – or perhaps they could be the Mountain State Mountains.
The St. Catharine College baseball team will hold a Christmas camp in Lourdes Hall on December 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The camp is for players ages eight through 18.
Patriot head coach Luther Bramblett, the winningest coach in St. Catharine history with a 331-124 record, and his coaching staff will instruct campers in all fundamentals including hitting, pitching and defense.
For more details call (859) 336-5082 ext. 1285.

We wanted to share this information with you about the Kentucky Cattlemen Convention and Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association and the Kentucky Horse Council collaborating with each other this year.
Providing members with a great educational and information experience is what led the leaders of the Kentucky Cattlemen's Association, Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association and the Kentucky Horse Council to decide to join forces for the first Ag Industry Trade Show.
The holiday baking has begun, and what is more tempting than homemade cookies, cakes, pies, hot chocolate, and did I say chocolate?
Finding reduced-calorie recipes or making one that you already use healthier might take time, but would certainly be a step in the right direction for the family. It could be as easy as changing whole milk to fat-free milk in a recipe.
This is painful for me to admit, but I don't have a "real" Christmas tree at my house. I hate fake trees and do so love the smell of fresh-cut greenery during the holiday season but I just haven't brought myself to spend the money and time cleaning up the mess of a live tree.

Right, let's talk about knives!" Jay Patel claps his hands together excitedly before he unfurls a knife bag and unsheathes a glistening dagger. Standing in the Kensington branch of the Japanese Knife Company – a bountiful cornucopia of blades – I brace myself to get a slice of the action.
"There's no question that the knife was the most fundamental tool in creating, or at least changing, civilisation." Patel begins, "Together with fire and the wheel it is certainly one of the most influential tools that we ever had."
Patel is somewhat of an expert in the knife world. One of the only people outside of Japan to have trained as a blacksmith and also sell knives, he spent more than a decade there as an apprentice learning to forge, sharpen and use them after travelling to the country as a chef in the 1980s, returning to London to set up shop.
If this sounds like a long way to go to learn how to cut, then, like myself, you probably know very little about the world of professional cooking knives. However, under Patel's guidance I soon realise that there is a reason why a Saji Sujihiki, forged with 129 layers of Aogami Blue Steel, is worth £649, and why hacking away at a carrot with an Ikea breadknife is as much a waste of mental energy as it is physical.
In fact, without a good knife you would struggle to prepare food to the highest quality possible.
"A very sharp, thin blade won't actually influence the cell structure of the food", explains Patel. "If I cut my onion with a rough surface, it will tear the cells and it will lose its flavour. This goes all the way through all the food groups. If you cut fish and it looks like it's wet, that's the oil coming out – that's bad cutting. It should be absolutely bone dry, matt."
To demonstrate, he grabs an onion and within seconds has it minced into perfectly even, miniscule pieces. Scraping the pile into his hand he thrusts it up to my face: "See – no tears." Although my eyes do remain unwatery, his display of knife skills has me wincing as I remember the time I proudly discovered I could slice a pizza with scissors.
Patel reassures me: "Once you know how to use a knife you'll find you look forward to the preparation of food, not just the cooking and eating."
This is the precise sentiment of Peter Hertzmann, author of Knife Skills Illustrated, a book detailing the craft and history of knives, and, more specifically, how to use them. Currently Hertzmann, who teaches cooking in the US, has been training people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including inmates in jail, in knife skills – helping them to find employment in the catering industry.
"One of the excuses I've had for years as to why someone doesn't cook from home or from scratch, is that they don't know how to cut things up," Hertzmann tells me emphatically. "In less than two hours I can get someone well on their way to doing that, assuming they listen – some of the people I work with do have attention span problems..."
But Hertzmann commands my attention at least, asserting that good knife skills are key to encouraging people to enjoy cooking food. By extension, a good understanding of food preparation can be the difference between a healthy and unhealthy diet.
"For some of the women we teach it's not uncommon for her to be in jail with three to four kids. It's more a matter of training them how to prepare simple and healthy foods for their family. Feeling like you don't know how to do it at all tends to lead people into buying packaged things for the microwave. Even without a knife you could make a salad by tearing with your hands, but they're not even doing that."
This, I hope, is something I won't have to resort to, as back at the Japanese Knife Company, under Patel's supervision, I am becoming endowed with the art of slicing ("not chopping! You'll damage the blade!"), as I am guided through the three basic cuts: slicing, dicing and mincing. The knife I am using, sharpened before my eyes on Patel's own waterstone, barely needs an ounce of pressure to pierce the potato I'm pressing into the board.
I am using the most frequently used knife, a chef's knife. Despite the countless variations available, this, Patel says, is the one that deserves the most consideration. "Selecting a chef's knife should be done with a lot of care. If someone is really looking to buy a great knife, then they should see it like buying a tool".
Knife sets, it seems, are not the best investment. "When it comes to buying sets, if you are going to be doing 70-80 per cent of the work with one knife, this is the proportion of money you should spend on it. If you buy a block of knives then you'll get a boning knife in there – when was the last time you went out and boned something? People don't do that at home."
Hertzmann certainly agrees that massive knife sets are "over the top", just a way for manufacturers to sell more of their products: "When I go spend time in a professional kitchen I only take three knives with me.
"In Japan they use them quite differently to how we do in Western cuisine. If you watch them working on fish it's always done with a single slice. They've created a sort of religion around their knives and how you learn how to use them."
Michelin-starred sushi chef Yoshinori Ishii, head chef at London restaurant Umu, trained for 20 years in knife skills, and is, he tells me, still training. "When I was in culinary school, at 18 years old, I would be training after work until 2 or 3am, and I continued for one year like that. Back then I cut myself more than vegetables!"
He has about 12 knives to hand at any time. One, which is 60cm long, and weighs 700g, has only one role; cutting Conger eels. "For Japanese cooking, knives are one of the most important things." Ishii explains, "For sushi, or sashimi – one of the simplest cuisines in the world – you just cut the raw fish. However, it all depends on the knife. Fish will change depending on the thickness or how we cut."
Not surprisingly, there is a significant bond between Ishii and his knives. He still has his first knife set, given to him by his father when he got his first job. One of these is more than 20 years old. Sharpening over the years has reduced its length from 45cm to 25cm: "but it's still usable for me."
However, this "special relationship" between chefs and their knives is not just confined to Japan. According to French chef Hélène Darroze, it is quite normal. "I am very linked to mine and I don't want other people to use and to touch my knives – that's something very personal," she explains.
Of course, Patel is no different. His first knife was given to him in 1988 from Masamoto, the chef he worked for in Japan, and he still carries it with him today: "It changed the way I cut, it changed the way I looked at food. It changed everything."
I must admit, Patel's enthusiasm is infectious; the allure of cutting food like a pro has me hurrying home to practice with my only, and disappointingly blunt, chef's knife.
But even if you don't choose to spend 10 years training in the art of cutlery, the message of any professional chef seems clear: buy yourself one good blade and keep it sharp. After all, considering the amount of knives this troupe of experts own, you wouldn't want to disagree.
How to choose the right knife
The blade of the knife should allow you to excel in crushing, chopping, mincing, carving and slicing. The general principle of cutting food is that a long and narrow blade is used for cutting through raw or cooked flesh of meat and fish and a straight, wide blade for cutting vegetables, which will also allow you to sweep up the chopped vegetables easily. So, it's very useful to have a multi-purpose European chef's knife, which will usually have a third of the blade wide and flat at the back and is slightly curved to the point. Blades can be up to 10in long, but smaller blades that are 5-6in do the job and may be more comfortable for those with smaller hands.
A sharp and durable knife is most important – so a blade with a hard, high-carbon core that is laminated with a soft steel will allow you to sharpen it very quickly and easily with a whetstone, frequently and for a long time.
You need to feel at ease when holding your knife, so look for a blade that has sturdy leverage and a secure and full-length tang, which is the metal at the back of a blade connected to the handle, providing more balance and making it more durable. Quality knives also have their handles attached to the clamp with rivets.
Even a very good quality knife needs to be maintained well, so storing knives in wooden blocks or drawers is not a good idea if you want to keep your blade sharp. The best options are to keep knives in sheaths, magnetic blocks or hang them on magnetic strips.

Power sector regulator CERC on Monday said Tata Power should be compensated for the increase in imported fuel cost for 4,000 MW Mundra ultra mega power project in Gujarat. Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Power, had petitioned CERC, seeking relief on account of adverse impact of the unforeseen, uncontrollable and unprecedented escalation in the imported coal price.
"In the present case, the escalation in price of imported coal on account of Indonesian Regulation is a temporary phenomenon and will be stabilised after some time. Therefore, the petitioner needs to be compensated for the intervening period with a compensation package over and above the tariff discovered through the competitive bidding," CERC said in its order.
The compensation package could be variable in nature and commensurate with the hardship that the petitioner is suffering on account of the unforeseen events leading to increase in international coal price affecting the import of coal, the order said.
However, in a dissent order S Jayaraman, Member, said that the there is no scope either under the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) or under the Act to establish a mechanism to grant relief to the petitioner as prayed for. He added that the petition lacks merit and is liable to be dismissed.
Mundra UMPP is based on imported coal and has an estimated coal requirement of approximately 12 MMTPA (million tonne per annum).

New to UTEC? Read this...
[i]Hope the admins don't mind, but I think this should be sticky..[/i]
It seems like a lot of us have the same questions about the UTEC and it's operation. The guys over at WRXHackers.com have come up with what I feel is a very good "newbie" UTEC guide...
Check it out. But, just remember this: It sounds complicated, but if you take your time and do things one step at a time it really is pretty simple.
And, anyone that needs any help, feel free to ask. I am in no way an expert, but I have learned quite a few things about the UTEC, and will be glad to help.

Re: New to UTEC? Read this...
ahh, tim (the admin of that site) is a great guy and a good buddy of mine. he's very knoweledgable about the wrx. we just did a JDM engine swap in his car not too long ago..
!Thumbs Up
Haha.. thanks Pat. :) Always glad to have people on the site helping others out. That was the whole reason I started it in the first place. Too bad I had to sell my UTec... *saves up pennies to buy replacement* !Cry!
What is the Link for UTEC?
couple of ?'s
first is this correct ... " You want your EGTs to be around 820-850 deg C under WOT. This can change quite a bit for different setups, I'm refering specifically to stage 1 and stage 2"
or... "Removing fuel increases the EGT, and advancing the timing lowers the EGT. You can figure out your own method of getting it exactly right, but that's a good theory to work with...
so advancing the timing lowers the egt but raised the knock,
and retarding the timing raises the egt but lowers the knock,
but raised egt can damage engines and cause knock:confused:
it seems either way your screwed.
why is closed loop better than open loop?
do you want to keep the 60% change over amount, or lower it?
i read somewhere about a system on the utec of
0-10 ecu
10-30 or 40 utec
30-40 -60 ecu
and 60 up utec
it had to do to some sort of lean part with the stock turbo xs maps...
anybody heard of this....?????:confused:
I am getting my a/f gauge and egt as soon as joey buys them for me and ships them.... I really want to get tuning on this , but I need the egt gauge...
Well, first of all, all the TurboXS maps I've ever used have run very rich. Espcially their Stage 4. I had to pull a lot of fuel out to keep my car from stalling at idle, and blowing a black smoke screen at WOT.
Closed loop is better than open loop because it is more consistent. Open loop sets your boost by whatever percentage you put in the map. The BCL will operate at that duty cycle no matter how much boost your turbo is making. In closed loop, the BCL operates at whatever percentage it needs to to reach that number.
There is a "happy medium" you can reach with timing, fuel, and boost where your car runs its best with no knock. Unfortunately there is no way to say "just do this". Each car reacts differently. My suggestion would be to start with one of TurboXS's maps and adjust it to suit your needs.
Leave the ECU controlling everything below 60% throttle.

Ok sorry if this has been ask but i cant find it in the formus . I got a utec off ebay used it has someone elses tune on it. It didnt come with the manual but it came with a print out of the instructions that are on turbo xs home page. Can any boby tell me if the instructions are the same as the manual . Also i cant figuar out how to update from 3.2 to 4.2 and downloada stock base map. Any help would be great thanks to all the people here everyone has been a real help in my desire to smoke stangs !Thumbs Up

[QUOTE=WReXd;205174]umm since this is a sticky I think it should be noted that the link in the original post is dead...[/QUOTE]
yep, link b dead.
I know the link's dead but this thread still has useful information for people considering the UTEC which is still a great option for those that want to try tuning the car themselves. Also, they're dirt cheap now a days. They were $1000 back when this thread was new but you can pick them up for half the price of the Cobb Accessport now. Less if you don't mind used.

Printer Repair Questions? Ask IT Technicians for Answers ASAP
Yes, there is an answering machine on the same line.
It is set up to answer phone after 4 rings.
My understanding is that regardless of type of answer,
pick up or answer machine, the fax should not
start unless it picks up a fax signal.
The signal should be received before fax responds.
It seems to me that the fax responds immediately
when the phone is answered.
It seems to me like it is responding as a fax only line.
But the fax is set up in TEL priority mode.
I am perplexed.

Had ATT provide DRPD service. They provided double ring and fax
telephone number.
Cost is $7/mo.
That corrected my trouble.
I thought that I could use fax with Tel priority mode
on same line as voice and answer machine,
with no additional ATT charge or tele no.
Guess I was wrong.
Thanks for your help.
