can you connect a fax to this device

Connecting a fax is the least of your concerns. Verizon is CRAP. I had NOT ONE DAY of caller ID during my two year contract. Verizon gives you ABSOLUTELY NO SERVICE. I switched to ATT for the same price. Plugged their home phone connect box in the outlet. Five minutes later the phone rang with caller ID. STAY AWAY FROM Verizon, PERIOD!!!

This model does not. I believe you have to go with the DCP8190DN for faxing capability.

I am not sure as I only wanted it to fax and my nearest outlet for faxing was out of reach my fax machine is wireless

No, I am afraid not. I had to get a land line. I have not heard of any fax machines that you can use with a cell phone. For what it's worth, this is a good little fax machine. If you have internet and cable with the same company, you can usually a phone for about $9.00 extra per month. Good luck.

Yes I am able to fax from my computer as well as receive faxes from other fax senders. Have tried other usb fax plug-in (from walk in store) but only this particular US Robotics model is consistently able to hang up at the end of all transmissions.

sorry - can't answer this question. I only used the modem for internet connection - not faxes.

You can send fax by having your phone line plugged in; and going to fax using the touchpad on the device. It does fax pretty easy. My complaint with the machine is that the touchpad does not work good. I often have to touch several times before the machine reacts.

I have been able to fax using a Magic Jack connected to the machine, as long as I was only sending or receiving 1 or 2 pages at a time. 3 pages and up seem to fail. There are tweaks on line to allow the user to set the router for magic jack for faxing. I have not tried them.

You can hook it up straight to phone. This fax is neat. It also works as a printer if you hook it up to your laptop or desktop. I use it for business, definitely recommend it.

yes but it will interrupt the fax transmission. I'm not sure how you are using the modem. It connects to the computer and then the wall. The fax and/or phone are connected via a splitter from the wall jack. But regardless it will disconnect when a fax or a call comes in.

You can but it would be very inconvenient. You have to go through the set up process each time which takes quite a while (how many rings, input your own fax number into machine, etc). I would not want to do it that way.

I have been told that you can send and receive faxes, but I have no first-hand experience doing it. I purchased the unit to connect my Dish receiver up to my telephone line. That operation works quite well, so it would seem that faxes would also.

You have to have phone service of some kind be it VoIP or AT&T but you Have to have a signal to plug into the fax

I do not believe it is capable of that; but if you split the phone line with a two-way splitter BEFORE this and run one split to this dongle and the other split to your FAX then it should work fine. http://www.amazon.com/26191-Duplex-Adapter-White-4-Conductor/dp/B0000AHO92/

Yes. But for faxing, you will need to have either a) a high quality VOIP provider or even better one that supports the fax t.38 protocol.
