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.

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...

This is the most common reason for using it on an all-in-one device which includes a fax.The simplest way to really enjoy your fax again is to use a Y splitter (2 jacks out from one jack plugged into the wall outlet) available just about anywhere for a couple of dollars. Run a cable from one of the splitter jacks in the wall to your phone. It will be available all the time, then run another cable from the other jack on the splitter directly to the fax. Don't use the line out on the fax at all.Now you have your phone and when you need the fax, you can leave it powered on and still use the printer, etc. but simply switch off the phone line when you do not want the fax to interfere with anything.

Yes. When not in use it goes into a power saving mode but will receive faxes automatically.

sorry - can't answer this question. I only used the modem for internet connection - not faxes.

Yes, you need some kind of analog phone service to send faxes. You also need a computer, but I am guessing you know that.

If you are not using the fax you do not need to hook up the phone line. All other features will work fine.

you need this device if your phone service is one pert of the house and you can't run wires to another part where you'd also like service. You need phone jacks to plug into this, one on each end. If your phone service provides a phone jack that allows you to plug a handset or fax machine into it, then this should work.

I also use a cable phone and it connects just like any other phone. I put a splitter on the line and attached both my cordless phone and the fax. Yes, you would have the same number. You need to set the fax so it doesn't pick up the phone before your answering service.

Yes, or any other of the jacks that you might have. That's all I did and it works just fine. I don't like the volume thing because there is no level meter so you just kinda have to guess.

yes, i use an older fax with a handset and it works just the same as it did when I had a regular phone. Just make sure you have it plugged in to the magicjack.

Yes it's got a phone jack and works for sending or receiving faxes. I do think it wouldn't fax a double sided document (it only faxed it single sided skipping every other page) which really frustrated me at one point since it will scan double sided documents.

It's not really the handset that determines this it is the way you hook up your fax machine with Ooma and your network. Although there is a Headphone setting for auto answer you want to make sure is off so fax will answer.

Yes, you connect it to the house line. You might need to configure the program that you use, such as your fax software, to make sure it it pointing to the modem. Windows Uodate should automatically download and install the necessary driver. If it doesn't, try connecting the modem to a different USB port.

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.

This unit plugs directly into the wall but it does have a jack that allows you to plug your phone into it as well. Kind of like a fax machine.
