the way I have my fax/dsl set up is, I have a one of those plugins that takes 8 phone connections and the THAT plugs into the converter for the dsl.. the converter for the dsl is ONLY thing that plugs into the outlet. The fax is just another piece of equipment on your phone line. like adding another phone. I have a fax in my all in one printer. You just plug in the phone line and go for it. I pay for my phone service and that includes whatever else is on the phone line. Unless your phone co works differently than mine, you should just be able to plug in the fax the same as an extra phone. ml ----- Original Message ----- From: "DO1212SK" <do1212sk@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 12:09 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Fax info? Despite having a PC for 2 decades, I know absolutely nothing about home faxes as I've never had one. However Staples has one on sale now for $19, and I'm considering getting it. Questions: How does fax work with basic DSL ISP service......... 1-Do you put its phone wire connection on the line before or after the DSL line converter? 2-And will just a simple one-into-two splitter connection work? 3-Do you have to pay extra for fax service on your DSL line, or is it just considered another PC up or download?
