Where can I get one of those line sharing devices that allow you to share a FAX and analog phone line on the same POTS? Thanks.

 
yes cmp buy a ringrite and order ringmate on the
line way more reliable than fax switches
 
I would agree that most "office superstore" fax switchs are junk

I have used the stick for years and found it very reliable

distinctive ring on the line works also but you wind up adding the monthly fee and you still are depending on the reliablity of a switch
 
There are also devices, such as a Viking TG-1 Node, that will serve the purpose for much cheaper than any store purchased device.

the viking tg-1 is a exclusion device how does that route a incoming call ?

He actually asked how to share one POTS for two service devices? Why would he need routing? Is that how they do things in Florida??
 
I wonder if my carrier(TDS metrocom, WI) has such a line service without having to use a Centrex service or business class stuff. Cant really spring the extra 100 bucks on equipment just yet.

Thanks again!
