The company I'm with was re-selling DSL for awhile.

Almost all your problems will be elminated if you put in
the recommended filter.

We had a problem with a system with a FAX and someone had diddled
with things.

There really is no problem >IF< you install things properly.

Since DSL uses high-frequency signals and modems and FAX and voice
use low frequency there is no problem with them - again IF you
install them properly.  There is no difference between a modem
or fax and voice on a DSL.
