[gui-talk] this fax thing

[Steve Jacobson]

Joel,

Just connect your modem in the same way as you would connect your telephones.  One way or another, all of your 
phones likely run through filters and your modem needs to as well.  I have DSL and have also used a modem from time 
to time, and this approach should work.
