fax machine thru a special separator connector?

jilyst asked:

I have only one phone line & have heard that you can share a line with a fax/copier/printer with a special connector. Is this true?

most multi-function units have a special feature called drpr or distinctive ring pattern recognition. Meaning if you have ring-master service with your phone company, you can have a second number ring a special ring and the fax will pick up ONLY when it rings that pattern. other than that, you can get an automatic fax switch which will send incoming faxes to your machine, and regular calls to your phone connected to the switch. There is no device that allows you to talk on the phone and send/recieve faxes on one line. they both use the line and theres no way to combine them. however, with the switch, they can share the line automatically.
