fax machines?

Question

hi im a real estate agent and i need to sometimes get faxes sent to my house. i dont get enough that i would want to waste money on a second phone line. what i am asking is that if you could somehow have the fax hooked up to your phone line at all times, but not interfere with my phone. like a on off switch that i could just hit to let faxes come in. i would do this before they sent a fax because i know when they come in because i tell them to call first. when i put the fax in all the other phones in the house dont work just the fax and i dont want that.

Answer 1

You need a fax phone auto switch. If you are in the US, best buy used to have them or Micro Center. Some specialty store for computers and computer items should have one exactly what you need.

Answer 2

Get a fax machine that has a phone on it, most do now days, when you answer it you will hear the fax tone or you can set it to manual and when the call is coming in just hit the receive button, also their is some that can tell if a data call is incoming and will auto start the fax.

Answer 3

I got a regular fax machine. I send a fax thru it, but for all my incoming faxes, I use efax.com its free!!

Answer 4
