Is there some sort of one way line splitter? I know I can get a manual A/B switch or some more complex fax switches.
I want to have faxes come in on line 1 and go out on line 2.

Is there any phone system? Easy enough to do that there. I would have to look but I think I have used line sharing devices that could be programmed that way.

As Hal stated "... phone system? Easy enough to do that there"  Or... Have you thought about doing incoming fax to a computer and using the physical fax machine for outgoing only on the second line? Incoming fax could become PDF (or any preferred format). That way, you could distribute them via e-mail and save on printing, by printing only the pages needed. Then anything that had to be faxed outbound could be done on the single line fax connected to your second line. Just a thought

That's what I do Tony. It also is an easy way to filter & delete spam faxes without wasting paper & ink.

Thanks Dave! :toast: Now I need you to call my boss, who doesn't want me to take the time to set that up at the office... but still complains about all the spam-faxes and cover pages we get and usually throws them away! He's really old-school in the "what technology can do for you" department, but we love him anyway!  ---- bobley, there is always something like this too -> Sharp UX-CD600 2-Line Fax Communication Center with Corded and Cordless Phones and Answering Machine , if you're only running a two-line setup.

I've thought of using the computer, but some of the users do not want that because they are not computer savvy. There are almost no spam faxes coming in. I'm not sure what you mean by "phone system." This is for residential use.

If you have no phone system like a key system that handles multiple lines with several extensions you are basically going to have to implement one with a line sharing device. Depending on what other uses you have for those lines I would look at something like the 4000P from https://www.lineshare.com/ -Hal

I'm not sure what you mean by "phone system." This is for residential use. [/b]Are the installing phone tech, or are you the home owner (just to get an idea of what user-level you are at)? Also, what is currently installed for dial-tone in the residential setting (i.e. - one line with call waiting, two dedicated lines, etc.)? That will determine what product(s) you need.

I imagine most, if not all have some kind of notification.
