Abstract
Method and apparatus for qualifying fax numbers for a select network, such as a store-and-forward network, which includes a distributed database stored in or accessible by each of a plurality of access nodes in the select network, and a local database in each autodialer connected to an associated fax machine and at least one access node. Methods are provided for updating the distributed and local databases to avoid each autodialer of a given customer group having to validate a number already validated by another member of the group.
