Best Answer

You tell it to automatically answer on X amount of rings, or with manual intervention by you. Also you tell it wether to store faxes or print them right away.

Answer

One of the disadvantage of using a fax machine is you need to be physically present in front of the machine in order to feed the paper into it. With internet fax service you can

fax using your online account, phone or any Microsoft Office programs. Providers of the service such as Ringcentral include fax editing tool and email fax software for free.

Can you have an answer machine and fax machine on the same line?

Yes you can, however only one of them can be set to automatically answer - otherwise one will answer before the other. Other options are: - There are fax machines that have answering capability - There is the option to have a "dual ring" line - (DRD - dual ring detection) is what's needed in both the answering mahcine and the fax machine for that - this way you would have two phone numbers but one phone line - the answering machine would be set up for line 1, the fax machine line for line 2, and the fax machine ring would be different. This works with voicemail as well.
