I would like to connect a landline and a fax machine. Will this work? I have 2 land lines now (1 for the phone & 1 for the fax machine) )

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 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.

No. This only splits one line into two devices, two lines need two separate phone jacks.

Depends. Are you saying of the two physical different land lines, you want one land line to have a phone and a fax on it? If that is the case, then yes, this would work to split the same phone line into two phone jack ports for you to use your fax and phone. If you have two phone numbers (aka 2 land lines), then you wouldn't need this if you're going to use one phone number exclusively for the fax -- just plug that one into the fax and the other phone number (land line) to your phone. I use this to split the same land line for a fax and a phone and it works just fine.

ANswer is no. Wouldn't recommend this machine to anyone and the only reason I bought it was because I neededa fax/answering machine combo....only was I could find. Works okay, but not great........

If you mean the "Modem" that you use to receive your home phone service on , then yes you can, instead of plugging your phone into the modem, you plug the Brother Fax Machine" into the modem, it works out great because the Brother Fax Machine is also a Phone that can be used as a phone as well as a fax machine and a photo copier. I really like mine and am glad I bought it.

This and the base unit are single line phones - the product description on Amazon clearly states this works with single line phones. If you meant to ask whether you can use the land line as well as one or two additional cell phone numbers with it, yes.

I have not tried it personally, but a good friend of mine also has Ooma and he said his does work with his fax machine. However I do believe you have to purchase some kind of wire less adapter from Ooma in order to make it work.

I have Vonage and plugged my skype dual phone into the Vonage adapter and it works fine. You just need to use a telephone wire splitter for the phone wire on the Vonage unit. I am absolutely sold on Skype and will most likely be dropping Vonage altogether. I'm giving it a little more time to be sure (it's been about 2 months). I almost didn't attempt to use Skype because of the MagicJack horror that I tried first.

This splitter was called for as the only one to use between my computer and phone line for my HP office jet pro's fax function, which is also connected to my computer. Any other one I tried would not work. So I have my fax and regular land line phone together. Hope this helps.

I understand that you have three unique phone numbers, 2 landlines and 1 fax line. You would need the linx for a dedicated fax line, which would be configured as a personal device. The other two phone numbers can be shared on the Ooma telo, which means an incoming call will be routed to both physical phones. You can add a second linx or a HD2 handset if you want all three lines routed to separate physical devices (phones/fax machines).

No, the fax works like an incoming call. It is a very good machine that covers all bases. We are the owners of a small business and this is perfect for us!

Hi Stella, Short answer is "Yes". You will need to purchase a phone jack "Y" connector and enough phone wire to get to your fax machine from the base. The closer the better! Unplug the phone wire going to the Panasonic Base. Plug that phone wire into one of the "Y" inputs. Plug the "Y" connector back into the Panasonic Base. Use the purchased phone wire to come from the other "Y" input into your fax machine and you're good to go. No phone calls while you're using the fax.Steve

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).

I have used my fax with Ooma. I use the same line for voice and my fax and just turn the fax on when using it.

Yes. I never used the phone on ours either. Be aware that the machine uses something similar to a typewriter ribbon that is the size of paper and if you receive a ton of faxes that ribbon will not last long. Ours has quit because of a lightening strike so be sure to plug into a surge protected plug :) Hope this helps :)

No - This works with a landline phone using a standard telephone connection.

Hi, We ordered this fax machine for an out of state office, so I haven't, personally, worked with it. That said, it doesn't look like it, according to this: http://reviews.cnet.com/multifunction-devices/hp-fax-2140/4507-3181_7-33687201.html

This is a simple on/off switch for a phone line. Much like the a wall switch for an electrical outlet. The phone line from the wall plugs into the little box and what ever is plugged into the box's other jack will either get the phone signal or not, depending on the position of the switch. You can use the switch, or multiple switches, to do interesting things. However you could NOT use it to switch the phone signal between a phone and a fax without getting creative. For that you would need an A/B switch. So I"m not sure what your really are wanting to do. If you can describe it with a more detail I'll be glad to help. - Marc

Your land line will work normally! It will ring for both incoming landline and cell calls. I set the ringer for my cell to be different from the regular land line ringer so I could tell the difference. To make a land line call, just pick up and dial. To make a call from your linked cell just dial the number and press the button where the screen says "cell" and it will call from your cell! It's pretty awesome! The link is seamless :)
