Setting up Shared Fax Service on SBS 2000
Hello,
I purchased a Fax Modem and while installing I read that it must be connected to an analog phone line or else could cause modem failure. My plan was to to piggy back off of a dedicated fax line by using a RJ45 line splitter. All of our phone lines are digital. So, being that the phone lines are digital, does this rule out using this for our shared fax service? Sorry if this is a stupid question but this is all new to me and I had a couple of experienced networking people tell me that I could do this? Thanks for your time, Debbie |

Sure does. You'll need to use an analog line.

There are adapters available that will allow you to use an analog modem on a
digital telephone line, here's an example: http://www.hellodirect.com/catalog/P...3&PRODID=18480 Konexx Digital-to-Analog Adapters Hal -- Hal Hostetler, CPBE -- Senior Engineer/MIS -- MS MVP-DTS -- WA7BGX http://www.kvoa.com -- "When News breaks, we fix it!"
