Then there is the option of getting the multi-pattern ringing service
from you phone co. (Some common names for it are RingMaster, Smart
Ring, RingMate....etc). There are several different companies that
offer a device that you plug into your phone line that splits the line
into multi-line two to four.  On each call the box detects which ring
pattern was used and send the calls to the proper line ... That way
you fax will have its own phone number. In Southern Bell (FL) it costs
3.95/month for one additional number and 5.95/month for two.
