- Hello,
-
- Since my apartment cannot have any additional lines brought into it, I need to
- put a modem and a fax on the same line. I've heard of devices that will answer
- the phone, listen to the carrier to decide whether it's meant for a fax or a
- modem, and shunt the call in the right direction. Can anyone tell me where I
- might find such critters, what they cost, how reliable they are... etc.?
- Thanks in advance. Please reply via email and I'll summarize.
