Fax machine on cable line

[Pub]

Morning all,

Great forum by the way, very informative.

I have taken on a new job where I'll be working from home and as part of my home office I want to connect a fax machine to my home Virgin media (telewest) phone line.

Will a normal fax machine work on this line? Also I need to extend the line to go upstairs, will I just use a normal phone line extension kit?

Thanks.

to the forum.

Yes, you can use BT extension reels.

As for the fax, AFAIK, you can (I certainly had no trouble using a modem on my then Cable and Wireless line).

Thats great, just wasnt sure if there would be a problem with faxing,

another quick question (sorry to be a pain), can I get a second line installed with Telewest??

Yes additional lines are on offer in both ex-ntl and ex-telewest areas.

I have a fax machine here at home (virgin) and it works fine.
