The set I received were dead on arrival, and I got a refund and was told to trash them rather than send them back.

I think you're asking whether the unit will work with a digital VOIP phone connected through, for example, a cable modem. I don't know. I haven't tried it. There's no distinction made in the manual between a regular POTS land line and a digital line. I've seen one review saying it did not work with a digital line, but you can't go by one review. Digital lines vary -- for example, some will work with a regular fax machine and others won't. You probably have to test it on your particular system.

The base unit has to have an ethernet connection into a modem or router. The base unit then communicates wireleslly to the handsets. However, you will want to check with your VOIP provider regarding which modems will work with the phones. For example, the business class modem/router units Comcast provides will NOT work. I had to get a stand-alone modem, connect it with a router, and plug the base unit into the router.

It is not connected over VOIP. This device is basically a cell phone in a box. It is possible that your cellular phone has poor reception or has reception problems. Or just that the home phone device has a better antenna.

It needs an RJ11 (telephone) line. If your phones use RJ45 (Ethernet) it won't work. Most business lines that I have seen still use an RJ11, but Best Buy, Walmart, and Radio Shack (among many other larger chains) probably use RJ45. If you're using an RJ11 with VoIP, like Vonage, it should still work.

you need this device if your phone service is one pert of the house and you can't run wires to another part where you'd also like service. You need phone jacks to plug into this, one on each end. If your phone service provides a phone jack that allows you to plug a handset or fax machine into it, then this should work.

I have a unit connected to four VOIP ATA adapters. Works just like a regular land line telephone.

It splits 1 line into 5 jacks. If you have 2 #s on the line, it should work for each jack. I use it for the VOIP line which is is 2 numbers.

I don't get what u r doing. I will pick up if u r not home, but what if u pick the phone up and hear a fax tone, Can u send a code on the keypad to have the fax pick up while u r in another room?Can u use an answerphone to get voice messages?I used Norton Fax software. It was nice because it did Fax and Voice on the same line and put everything on your hard drive. I hoped hardware could do this without the PC.Is there any hope?

It does need a dedicated phone line. The way around it is to use one of those little splitters. Plug it into your phone jack, then use one for the phone line, another one for the faxes.Or you can install an extra phone jack next to the existing one (if you know how).

Hi this model will not handle a 2 line phone line. It will only work on 1 line however I do have only 1 conference phone that will work with 2 lines basically you would plug in a 2 line telephone then use a Konftel 55 and a desk phone adapter we can help you with it. Find our contact info on our seller info.

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/

I actually gave this printer a very poor rating, but Amazon had sent me the incorrect (but similar model). They made good on it for me. I don't see an easy way for you to accomplish what you want to do. Two suggestions: 1. Disconnect the phone line from the printer and only reconnect it when you want to send a fax. 2. If your phone is connected to the printer, install an inexpensive phone line splitter. Connect the input jack to the phone line; then connect one output jack directly to your phone and the other to your printer which would be removed as in 1. above.

I have 1 landline and 1 HP Officejet Pro8600 printer/scanner/fax combo hooked into each other and my computer. My Officejet called for this particular item. The tail is hooked into the Officejet, the landline into one port and my computer DSL into the other port. I would look in the manual that came with your fax machine or call the company to see which kind it takes because there are several kinds our there. I think you would only need 1 landline for both as you can set your fax machine to answer on 2,3,or 4 rings usually. Hope this helps.

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.

I use mine to connect to equipment modems at remote sites. Works great for that, and expect it would both send and receive faxes just fine. It's a generic modem - as long as it successfully installs on your PC/laptop/etc., what specific application you use it for isn't critical.
