184130 2003-10-17 04:51:00 Pobably not, without some extra hardware. It's easy if you have a PABX. I've done it. You can get a little box which is meant for connecting two faxes (which would work with a computer "being" a fax) from a place in Australia ... I thing[ the name is Micro - something, and they advertise in some of the aAustralian electronic/computer magazines.

You can connect your modem directly, but while the computer modem can be told it's on a "leased line", I'm pretty sure that a Fax can't be told that, and wants the whole catastrophe of ringing etc.

Of course if you have two phone lines ... :D ... but it might be cheaper to buy a faster printer.

What is this s l o w printer? Is it correctly set up?

184132 2003-10-17 05:15:00 If you needed continuous connection, you could get a leased line from the Post Office --- a permanently connected line, which ended up in a socket on the wall of each of the sites at the ends . It cost money . Lots .

You can still, with the right configuration, connect two modems directly, without using the phone system . That would be a short "leased line", and you own the piece of wire, so it is free . But the fax won't have that option . Very expensive commercial faxes might?

I don't know that printer . . . someone else might . (I think you might have exaggerated its speed :D) .
