First of all, I'm not sure that I've posted this is the correct place. If I haven't I would appreciate it if someone could move it to the correct spot.
OK. Here is my situation. Currently I have a regular phone line with distinctive ring. The distinctive ring allows me to have a “separate” phone number for my fax. I send and receive an estimated 10-20 pages per month.
I am trying to cut back on expenses so I’ve been looking at my options. I found WinFax and purchased that software. It is installed and working but I don’t believe that the modem that in installed in the computer will “detect” the difference between data and voice. If it would then I could get rid of one of my phone numbers. The modem that came with the computer is “BCM V.92 56K Voicemodem”. It is attached to COM3.
I also have a Westell DSL modem that is in use for my internet DSL and I have a D-Link Router (“DI-634M High Speed 2.4GHz Wireless Router – Air Plus Xtreme G”) that is used to connect the computers and the TIVO server in the house.
My question is this, do I need to buy another modem that can tell the difference between voice and data and if so, which one do you recommend?
I don’t want to sign up for any of those pay-as-you-go internet fax options which is why I purchased the WinFax software.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
