I do long distance calls by access line first, followed by number. My computer has no modem. Will this allow long distance faxes?

If you can dial the number with your telephone, this modem should dial the long distance fine. Please be aware because of differences in Telephone companies, sometimes there are issues because of 56KB or 64kb channels on the call you make. Not seen much lately but is still out there especially with international calls.

I have not tried to do this. I have dialed out - single 11 digit number (1-xxx-xxx-xxxx) and connected to receiving computer to connect to internet. I would expect the dial-out, with correct pauses after access number and receiving computer with modem or FAX tones to work OK. As I mentioned, Win7 automatically installed driver, Win8 didn't need to! Earlier drivers are on supplied disk -

So far I have used mine only to send faxes, using my home phone. I believe there is a setting so that you can set it to use as a phone or as a fax or both. I am sure you don't have to have a separate number. It gets confusing if you receive a lot of faxes and have to change it back and forth.

I don't use this modem for fax purpose. These days you don't need modem to send/receive faxes. There are plenty of services that do it via email.

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.

Can't answer either question. I occasionally send and receive faxes, so far has worked fine no issues. Getting to be an obsolete communication method.

Credit card machine I'd say no. Fax, perhaps. But I haven't had luck with fax either. They do have a fax service with Ooma Office which MIGHT be an option. I had it for a while. It worked for a very short time and then stopped.I swapped out my old land line credit card machine for an internet based machine (First Data FD100) and the new machine works GREAT. You might want to try that angle for the credit card machine. It will eliminate the need for another line.

yes. just make sure you have high speed internet and not too many users on your network when faxing

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.

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

I'm looking at the printer right now, and no, It does not have a phone plugin for faxing right from the printer. however, most windows computers with modems allow you to send a fax anyway. (windows xp, 7, 8 im sure)You simply scan the document in and send it fax with a PC. Whenever you go to print a document in windows, the drop-down where you select what printer to print from also has a "fax" option. Selecting that and printing will open up a fax wizard.

Yes, I use the modem with Windows Fax and Scan and it can be configured to only answer as a fax when you tell it to. When the computer is on and the phone rings a little box appears on the computer screen asking if you want to answer as a fax.

Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only. Faxes can be transmitted to printer wirelessly. No need to connect phone lines to computers ounce you have set up the printer wireless. You are lucky because the new printers make you pay for faxes sent and rececieved. I do not know how it works receiving faxes though from other places. I think you need to have a fax line number for that. It cost money. You can send out free faxes no problem. That is how I use my printer when sending faxes. Almost all places now use regular e-mails now. Fax machines are becomming a thing of the pass. It is nice to have one when you need it to send out a fax. Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only.

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

Yes. This is a modem for dialup internet service connection to computer. Faxing is controlled by computer via modem to internet.

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.

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.

You only need the phone line for the fax, so if you don't need it then there is no problem. We don't have a phone line attached to it.
