Answer 1

Do you have an alarm system on your home.. If so, you will need a special filter.. If not, you are getting cross noise and you will need a special filter on your modem line. Or.. Check your hook up.. You might have something connected wrong.

Answer 2

Every device needs to be plugged into a filter, including your fax machine.

Answer 3

it depends on your connection.the dsl shld have a diff connection.you can have the fax and your regular landline plugged in together but the ring count of your fax machine in order to pick up a fax mage shld have a much greater no. of rings than w/ your regular land line.if you do not know the adjustment of the ring count of your fax machine, better call the tech support of your fax provider in order to walk you trhu w/ the settings

Answer 4

I hate cellular telephones yet i think of i would be paying for one this weekend. human beings do in simple terms not understand telephone etiquette. ?D
