voice line and I added a second number that has distinct ringing that activates the fax. On the off chance I am on the phone when a fax is inbound, it goes to voice mail and I can send it to the fax when I dial into my voice mail. All this is an extra couple bucks a month. Much cheaper than fax by email. And at this point works just find. I see not need to buy new hardware so I can scan docs. If I need it I'll do so.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Your feedback is much appreciated!!
