I had a superb meal in a Lakeland hotel recently. We're going back
ASAP, but in the meantime I emailed them for their menu.
I got this reply;
"Thank you for your kind report! We are glad that you enjoyed your
meal with us. Do you have a fax number as we've got a bit of a blip
in the system here and are unable to email the menu."

I use telephone broadband. Is there any way I can use it for fax, and
simply give them this number?

No, you need to use an ordinary 56k type modem. Your PC may already have one. Cable it directly to the phone soclet, not via a broadband filter

Standard modems usually have to be connected via a broadband filter. A few have filters built in. A few are able to ignore the broadband carrier.




You mean I could have routed it through the bb filter; and then it wouldn't have answered standard incoming calls?
