ABSTRACT:
A data communication control apparatus for use in association with a facsimile transmission device, comprising: a memory for storage of telephone number data, private network protocol information and telephone line communicable data; an off-hook detector for determining when the facsimile device is placing an outgoing call; a controller for controlling the outgoing call in response to an instruction from the off-hook detector, the controller comparing the number of the outgoing call with the telephone number data in the memory and determining whether that number is served by the private network; and a fax-tone detector in association with the off-hook detector and memory for determining the time-out parameter of the facsimile device placing the outgoing call; wherein when the outgoing call is placed by the facsimile device, the off-hook detector instructs the controller which first determines whether or not the outgoing call is a long distance number and, if so, whether the long distance area code is serviced by the private network and, if so determined, the call is diverted to the said private network where if the call is not connected to the destination facsimile device within the time out period of the originating facsimile device, the call is diverted to the private network's store and forward facility.
