I use Mighty Fax and when I get one a Popup comes onto the screen, telling me so. I imagine most, if not all have some kind of notification. [/QB]I know it isn't difficult but it isn't an option for the user in this case. You also have to have a different incoming fax number.

Sharp UX-CD600 2-Line Fax Communica...d Answering Machine (click here to view) That seems like the ideal setup for a single jack with two lines, in my opinion, unless you are looking for something completely different. Hope that helps!

Question
Why does it matter what line the fax goes out on?

I have e-fax which gives you a number all for free, the number might be from another state, but it's all free, also has the pop-up when you get a fax. so far it's been working fine.

Hope that helps! [/b]That might work, but I want to use the existing fax machine. It seems I could try something like the Comswitch 7500, but I'd rather spend less. I could also use something like the switches at https://www.sandman.com/tkm.html . LED switch is nice so you know to switch back. I still think a single direction splitter with two wires is a more straightforward solution.

Why does it matter what line the fax goes out on? One line (the voice line) has unlimited outgoing. The other line is the dedicated incoming fax.

Ideally, the telco should be able to reject CNG (outgoing) fax tones on a per line basis if you'd ask them to. Then you'd just need an ordinary duplex adapter. Not that this will ever happen.
There's a product idea whose time is fast fading away: a dialer that rejects outgoing or incoming calls on a specific line depending on the tone frequencies. This may exist for all I know.

Just use the 4000P I mentioned earlier. Put the fax on the priority port, your phones on the other two and program it properly to do what you need.

[/QB] If you are going to use something like Sandman sells and you will need to manually switch it why not just put two jacks by the fax machine and when they go to send a fax they can unplug from the receiving line and plug in the sending line and then reverse the process when they are done. In either case you need to do something before you send a fax and this will allow you to spend almost nothing.
