Hi and excuse me if this is not kosher to this category but I had no
where to turn too. I want to connect an all in on fax/copy/printer and
modem to same phone line. SO would I run a line to modem first then
out to printer with the line in.

Or would I split ther line with a 2 line inline splitter and one for
modem on pc and the other to the printer for it to answer fax. How
would the fax know to answer vs. the phone ringing then from the wall.
Hope somebody can shed some light on me for this. Nick

Get a little device called a "fax switch". They're cheap and, in my
experience, reliable.

I've had one from Command Communications for years.
