Polling lets you set up your machine so other 
people can receive faxes from you, but they 
pay for the call. It also lets you call somebody 
else’s fax machine and receive a fax from it, 
so you pay for the call. The polling feature 
needs to be set up on both machines for this 
to work. Not all fax machines support polling.
