If you were trying to use dial up service and broad band service at
the same time, that would not be possible. Faxing and internet
access however are two different things which are both accomodated
easily on the Mac. You can while connected to your broadband
service, send and receive faxes via your fax modem.

Thanx, Vickie!
Can you have your Mac connected to a 'phone line for faxing via
computer whilst you are connected to cable modem for e-mail and
internet searches at the same time? Or, must you disconnect the modem
to use the 'phone line and/or disconnect the 'phone line to use the
modem? I was told by a tech last year that the 'phone line had to be
disconnected from the machine [and I had to give up my dial-up
service] for I could not use the ethernet-connected external cable
modem and 'phone on the same Mac; not even with the 'phone line still
connected to the Mac although I gave up my dial-up service for the
broadband cable service [which I love, by the way]. I do not have a
stand-alone fax or all-in-one machine and therefore have to fax from
my computer.

yes you can. I have a separate phone line, a normal regular line, and
it is my fax number and you can receive and send faxes. You can also
just use you regular line doesnt matter.
