[gui-talk] this fax thing

[Joel Deutsch]

I have plenty of filters on the ends of my phone lines and stuff. But I've 
also got DSL and a router and someone said, I think, that I have to do 
something to get around that in order to use the phone line for the modem 
temporarily instead of it being commandeered by the DSL modem. I got the 
filters and all that stuff, though.

but if this would work for me, see, that'd be like having a "real" fax 
machine. That's all I really want, now and then.

It's not hard.  You need to make sure you have a fax modem in your computer
and that it's enabled.  You also need these little filter thinggies, less
than a dollar at Radio shack if you don't have them  and then you need a
person with a fax capable set up to which you can fax a few times to get
things right.

I've got Open Book, a scanner,and I'm pretty sure my computer has a fax
modem right in some slot that I happen not to use because I have a DSL
Internet connection.  So as far as I know, I don't need some Cloud-based
service to fax something. I just need someone to explain correctly how to
set things up so that I'll bypass my dsl modem when I want to in order to
fax something using my scanner and Open Books' scan function!

Someone once said something rather complicated about hooking up all kind  of

stuff every time tyou do this,and then someone told me that wasn't right and

it wasn't such a complicated thing to do.
But how?
