Hi Alan, You will have to go into the fax settings, and check the box for receiving faxes, and set the number of rings before Openbook answers the phone. Of course, Openbook will have to be running, and a dialogue will pop-up asking what you want to do with the fax. I haven't used it in some time, so I don't recall what the dialogue is for sure.

Hello Rick, and Friends Yes, that is one reason I have stayed with Open Book 7.2 But I have never been able to figure out how to receive a FAX with this feature in Open Book. Is it possible? I must assume not, as no one has ever given me a positive answer, but since it is such a great convenience to be able to use Open Book to FAX, I am dreaming there is a way to also receive faxes. Thanks Rick and friends.
