[gui-talk] this fax thing

[Steve Jacobson]

Albert,

I'm not understanding the point you are making.  Sometimes a splitter might be required if you don't have enough jacks, and one could use a splitter after a DSL filter 
just as one could if one were plugging in a phone or answering machine.  Am I missing something?
