[asterisk-users] OT - Incoming fax cuts ADSL line

[Chris Bagnall]

> I've experienced this quite a few times, and after working with a local telco, it has become policy to not place ADSL on lines where fax is going to be used

I too have seen this, and also with credit card processing machines in 
shops that 'dial' the merchant bank to process transactions (in effect a 
modem).

It can sometimes (but not always) be resolved by running two 
microfilters in series on the 'voice' side of the line, i.e. line -> 
microfilter -> microfilter -> fax.

I've also (here in the UK) seen it resolved through the use of higher 
quality faceplate splitters rather than the often low-cost units 
supplied free with consumer ADSL modem/routers.

Kind regards,

Chris
