You can try it because it won't break anything if it doesn't work. You have to have a landline in order to do this.

I've used mine a few times with my fax machine and it usually works. You just want to use uncompressed codecs in the settings and you should be fine. It's a very good adapter. Been using mine for a year now and no complaints.

Yes. Just make sure you get a splitter if you have it on a fax/computer line.

There is only one incoming line connection for the base. Possibly if you use a double out going junction connecter it could be done. But I am not sure but I think you can use the base to fax by itself. But I don't know why you would want to. Unless all your incoming phone calls are faxes.

It would depend. If you are asking if you can connect to a FAX line, yes they are just telephone lines typically. If you want both the FAX and the Base connected, I would get a splitter that turns one jack into two telephone jacks, and plug the FAX into one side and the phone into the other. Some research needs to be done to see how to set the FAX and phone to share the line. Many FAX machines or phones can be set to determine what type of call is incoming.

Follow the instructions to hook up the answer machine with the fax. It works great!!! If the call is a fax the fax machine picks up; if the call is a voice call and you don't answer it it will go to the answer machine that you attach to the fax.

Sure. You should not have a problem. The unit itself is 2 amps, so you are in business using the powerline universal adapter.

No, I use my regular phone line, unplug the line from the phone and plug it into the printer and then send my fax. When the fax is done, I unplug the line from my printer and plug back into the phone.

Yes and the adapter works on another modem and using a different power supply which comes off a known good modem makes no difference.

I do not know if this helps. I have not used the fax. I see that I have a unimodem service provider Not sure if this helps but you can look under Phone and Modem in your control panel

Check with Radio Shack and see if they have a connector adapter. Otherwise you would have to splice the line.

This is for fax/tel, if you have dial-up maybe but I would use wireless router and wireless usb adapter connected the desktop computer instead, I used this to hook up to my fax machine

I am able to. I unplug the phone cord from my regular phone and plug it into the fax machine when I want to send a fax. When I'm done, I simply switch the cord back to my phone. I have a HP 1040 Fax machine. I could leave the cord plugged into my fax machine as it has a handset on it, but I prefer to use my regular cordless phone.

Yes. But you will need to have a four color phone cord wire. It only takes two for each line. The phone line can be a two color wire but the fax (is vise versa) will need to be a four color wire. It will be a 50-50 chance you get them right the first time you plug them in. Good luck.

In my home office I have two phone lines. One phone line is dedicated to DSL, which requires filters. The filter may cause a conflict with sending and receiving information over the fax machine. My fax is connected to the phone line without the DSL. I recommend calling your DSL service provider. Technology changes so quickly that they may have a solution.

You can always plug multiple items on one phone line. You can only use one at once. If you receive faxes, you just need to make sure only one is in answer mode.

Can you be just a bit more specific? This device is a modem... and requires dial tone to operate... connecting it directly to the fax's line port will not provide dial tone, and thus will not operate the fax. doesn't the fax have a usb port to connect to your computer with via a usb cable? You need a telephone line connected directly to the fax on it's line port. let me know if this answers your question...
