Achab ( I am on Web again ;->

Your question isn't clear.

If you are talking about sending/receiving faxes using your computer and a fax modem, you must use an ordinary analog telephone line.

If your DSL service is on a line that is shared with regular telephone service (which often is the case), then you can use that line both for DSL and fax. Every device connected to the line *except* the DSL modem should be connected through a filter.

Many thanks
my ADSL have 2 telphone numbers, I could use 1 for FAX, but is possible to use software FAX without Hardware.

Other than Internet fax services (for example, http://www.efax.com/) you can not send/receive a fax without fax software *and* a fax modem. Your ADSL modem is *NOT* a fax modem.

If your computer does not already have a fax modem, you can buy one. For desktop computers, you can buy an internal fax modem; for laptops you can buy a PC-card fax modem; and for any type of computer, you can buy an external fax modem.

For best results, get a product that is on the Windows XP Logo'd Products List (formerly Hardware Compatibility List). This does not mean that many products from reputable mfrs will *not* work, but Windows XP fax services is notoriously fussy about the hardware, and if you have problems, one of the first questions you will be asked is whether your modem is on the list.

For example only (and I have not checked to see if any of these are on the Logo'd Product List) and don't neglect to read the reviews: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000018&Description=fax%20modem&name=Modems


Thanks Antonio.
