I recently got a faxmodem for my mac. While I don't anticipate receiving
a lot of faxes, now that I've got the thing I'm sure it will create uses
for itself.

I there any way that I can get away without installing a second phone
line and still use this thing and use my phone? I saw an add in the
latest New Yorker for a line switching device that supposedly
accomplishes this -- but it was from a company that is always
advertising gizmos that I am skeptical about.

I'd also like to continue to use my answering machine, and I'm not sure
if that is going to lead to additional problems. Any advice greatly
appreciated.
