Any reasonable fax service provider will allow reception of multiple faxes concurrently. Some might deliberately limit the number of concurrent connections so that one client's activity doesn't kill their other clients, but even t

Your description is right. To give this a visual dimension, here are sequence diagrams showing how outbound and inbound faxing work at another provider (disclaimer: I'm a co-founder at Interfax): Outbound: https://www.interf
