No, but if you pick up the phone while a fax is being sent or received, you will hear some unpleasant sounds & the fax being transmitted may be corrupted.

AnswerThis is one disadvantage of using the traditional fax machine, but with internet fax service, there's no need for a telephone line in order for you to send and receive faxes. Since fax documents are transmitted via the internet your can access your fax anytime and anywhere you are without getting a busy signal. All your faxes will be instantly delivered to your online account in formats either PDF,TIFF or palin text.

For online faxing you don't need one. All you need to have is an internet fax tool and internet connected PC. You can avail it from a service provider. For traditional fax machine, you really need a phone line in order to send and receive faxes.

No. You can still receive faxes even if answering machine is turned on. Just make sure you have enough ink and paper for the fax to be printed.
