help with lexmark x7170

[plbrown]

I live in the UK. I'm using a lexmark x7170 currently. For the fax
it's on its own dedicated line, but these days with so few faxes it
seems a waste and I wanted to connect it to the main office line. I
rang up lexmark and they said that if i bought a filter/splitter(?)
and plugged this in at the wall socket and then had one line running
to the lexmark and one to the phone, then the splitter would
recognise
a fax and direct it to the lexmark - otherwise the calls would go
through to the phone. To be honest the person did sound very
convincing. Even they just "thought" that these filters were
available.

Help please
Peter

They definitely are available.
