Im pretty sure it's the same, if memory serves me right.
Spark123 said:Just another avenue, when you have an incoming call does the fax pickup streight away and simulate the ringing? I have known some fax machines do this and others wait a number of rings before answering.
To be honest, I cant exactly remember how it operates in that situation, but I'm pretty sure that when the fax is connected, if a voice call comes in, the fax doesn't actually activate, but the phone just refuses to ring, whereas others in the house ring fine.

Yes, there is definitely a socket on the back of the fax for a phone, but it currently doesn't have a phone connected as we assumed it wasn't needed.
Thanks
