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


Thanks to all who helped and posted. I did find that on my machine
when set to ans/fax it does not work with current wiring the way I
have it. However, setting to fax only it receives it without moving a
wire. Maybe the machine is screwed up or something in the line I have
daisy chained like phone, answer machine, pc modem is interfering.
Actually it is not a problem if I know I will get afax. i will just
set to fax and wait and then change it back to phone. But ans/fax
should work if fax is heard it runs machine and if not then phone
keeps ringing. Correct. Nick
