Just as the amount of spam email is on the increase, so too is the amount of spam faxes. In fact, the two most common questions Telephone Services receives from Lab phone users are how to stop fax machines from calling their extensions and how to remove "spam" faxes from a voice mailbox.

Although Telephone Services cannot control unwanted fax calls, they do make every attempt to contact the sender to have the Laboratory's extensions removed from their calling list. New information has been posted on Telephone Services' Web site to help employees deal with this problem.
