ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing a status/confirmation report associated with a facsimile message transmitted by an originating facsimile machine over a telecommunications network. A local or first communication path is provided between the originating facsimile machine and a double dialer and a network or second communication path is provided between the double dialer and a point of presence associated with the telecommunications network. The facsimile message is routed over the local and network communication paths from the originating facsimile machine to the point of presence for subsequent transmission to a destination facsimile machine. After receipt of the facsimile message at the point of presence, the local communication path is disconnected while maintaining the connection of the network communication path. The originating facsimile machine is then caused to change from transmission mode to receiving mode and a status/confirmation report is generated and transmitted over the local and network communication paths to the originating facsimile machine.
