If you do not want to hook the fax machine up to the business phone line, you can hook it up to the home phone line. Some fax machines are automatically able to detect if an incoming call is a fax or a voice call. Or, if you accidentally pick up the home phone and it is a fax on the other line, you should be able to hit a key combination on the phone to send it to fax machine. See your owners manual for details.

You will have to get a router. Are you on dial-up or DSL or what?\nI have Dsl and the phone co. had to walk me through the DOS part to tell the computers to use the same phone line.

for this purpose you will need an additional software such as SCV Fax, super fax. this will install a printer in the menu.. a fax printer... click print and select fax printer.. and then go on as the instructions suggest..\n\nvoila!!!!!

Most people have line service included with their phone service and don't know it. Call your phone company and find out if you do. If so, have them come out, it won't cost you anything. The good news is that it happens all the time. This should allow the tech to duplicate the problem and fix it more quickly.

They did something with your line pairs during the install. Most likly your home phone line is ran in a so called "home run" fashion and when they were installing they somehow got the pairs being used for phone lines messed up or they actaully disconnected the rest of the run.

If it is Illegal to use the phone over there then you have no argument. If you want to fight it in court, not only will you lose but the court costs will work you up the a$$. Except that you got caught and never do it again, life sucks!

Your modem is working properly if you are hearing a dial tone. You need to consult with your provider on what the proper settings are. If your provider sent you a setup disk use it. It should configure your account info.

Usually, with a cell phone, the answering machine (voice mail) is a service provided by your carrier. It will work even when your phone is off, has no signal, or is busy.\nIf you want to replace that with a software solution, I suggest that you divert calls to a landline number, which is connected to a computer modem, and use an answering machine program. I don't know of any good free programs though.

Complain to Verizon\n\nI really don't think they are just waiting up a pole ready to cut you off as soon as you make a call...   If they wanted to do that, they could sit back in the exchange and do it with the touch of a button or two.\n\nIt's more likely they are up that pole trying to fix a problem which may be giving you the disconnects in the first place.\n\nAnd you mention "taps", rather than disconnects.. which is it?  What evidence have you that your line is tapped?\nI don't know of an online method to check your line...  a competent security company could come and sweep your home and phone line, to some extent, but you have to bear in mind that the ability to tap any phone line, at least for official agencies,  is built in to all phone exchanges in the USA these days, as a legal requirement.. and tapping a digital signal at the exchange level is undetectable by the consumer.\nGone are the days when they had climb up poles and sneak around hooking wires to your wall-box any more, they don't even need to leave their desk... just hit a few keys and sit back.    Isn't technology wonderful?\n\nIf you suspect that somebody un-official is tampering with your phone, that's a matter for the police. If I recall correctly, it may even be a federal case...   On the other hand, if it's official, then you won't get a lot of help.. and, frankly, if the tapping was being done by some official body, they'd be a lot better at it and you wouldn't notice.\n\nThere's also more than a hint of paranoia in your question, you may want to wonder if perhaps you're reading more into it than is there.

You need a cable company - NTL runs it's internet through a cable not a phone line - this way they run totally separate and you don't have to dial up for broadband.  Why do you want a new provider?  Dial up has to use a phone line - hence the dial part of the name!  Could try telewest although ntl has bought them out - that's the only other one that I know.  Works perfectly and don't need to remember any log in stuff - just plug it in to any machine and it works.

Is the phone line that goes to your modem connected through a DSL filter?  If it is, unplug it.  Otherwise...\n\nYou may have some type of static on your phone line.  Unplug all phones/modems, etc in the house.  Plug in one CORDED phone.  Do you hear static?  \n\nAlso, check the box outside your house (a green/gray box about the size of a shoebox).  You can access part of the box.  Plug a CORDED phone into the jack next to your phone number.\n\nIf you do not hear static outside, but do inside...  you've got a problem.  The phone company will charge you for fixing your interior lines.  Call and get insurance on your line (if available) then put in a service call a week later.  \n\nIf you hear static outside, it is the phone company's problem.  Call them and they'll fix it for free.

Assuming you have a phone line, then yes. We have a scanner/copier/printer/fax combo that I use all of the time to fax documents to others. It doesn't cost us a thing. You just need the right software.

On your phone try going to any given contact and you should have another thing that says like options or details, and once you click that you'll have an option to send text messages that is if it's on your plan, if you don't and you start texting people be warned of a dollar charge for each text you send and receive! Calling your provider should also help you as well if you don't mind waiting on hold for a spell.

I doubt you'll find any company willing to allocate the number to you without phone service, but you can try.\n\nFirst off, is the number in use?   Have you tried calling it?  If anyone answers, then you could try to buy it from the current owner.\n\nIf not, then call one of the companies that sell 800 service (AT&T, for example) and see if they're willing to do it.   You might be able to negotiate just to get the number reserved in a certain area (like a single state, or the northeast).  That might make it cheaper.\n\nA good place to ask questions about this is the newsgroup (go to google.com, click on Groups, and then enter the name:) comp.dcom.telecom     People who are active there know about this sort of thing.

More commonly than anything else, they dial the wrong number. Make sure they are dialing the appropriate area codes and such. If they are then there only only a couple possible problems\n\n1. The cable is unplugged from the phone line from either your fax or the senders fax machine.\n\n2. The phone line you are on is shared by your house line. This is not a problem but you must either set your fax to a fax and telephone mode, or if you know you will be recieving this fax, just set it to recieve mode. \n\n3. The last problem, which is the most uncommon and is never usually the case, your modem inside your fax machine is bad and you cannot recieve nor send any faxes at all\n\nhope this helps

Well either way you are sharing the same line so what do you mean? Get a 2nd line. I don't think you'll get to much problem sharing the line with that setup though. Depending on what you are doing.
