- 5. An equipment for facsimile call service of a telephone exchange, comprising:
- means for identifying a signaling tone on a speech path as a data tone, then checking the signaling tone against a known facsimile transmission procedure, and identifying a facsimile call out of all calls on the speech path as the result;
- a data base for storing a telephone charging list;
- a means for measuring time required for pages that have succeeded in facsimile transmission; and
- a means for calculating a sum of charges from the telephone charging list based upon the time required for pages that have succeeded in facsimile transmission.
- 6. An equipment according to claim 5, further comprising a means for searching whether each caller is previously registered so that only a registered caller can be charged by calculating a calling charge from the telephone charging list.
