I have heard a lot about fax polling where a "client" fax machine calls up
a "server" fax and receives a fax.

How is this done? If I am the caller (client), how can I instruct the remote
machine to _send_ me a fax instead of receive a fax from me.
Is there some kind of role change protocol (similar to UUCP) hidden in the
Fax protocols?

Is this polling a capability that all fax machines/PC boards have or is it
specific to certain manufacturers?

Any and all information is welcome.
