Hi all!

Just bought a EPSON SX600FW all in one printer/scanner/fax and I was asking myself.. Is it possible to use the FAX without having a telephone line, by ADSL? If yes, how?

Thanks!!
 
There are services which do fax to email, you can even have your own phone line number, and any faxes to that number get emailed to you. Have a search for "fax to email".
 
@squidge: No, that's not what he meant.

I have an HP OfficeJet and no physical phone line, my phone is connected to my cable modem which acts as a standalone VoIP device. I tried connecting the OfficeJet to the modem and i sent my parents a fax, just to see if it works (it did). Haven't used it ever since. But i think to do that, you need to have a normal phone number. I don't know how it works, but i guess my cable internet provider registered my phone number and now redirects every call he receives on that number to me and vice-versa.

So you have DSL, but no telephone line? How does that work? All i know is that in order to use a physical fax device, you need to have a phone number.
