Can you answer jpbischke’s question about DSL?:

I think this should be pretty easy but can’t figure it out. In my living room I have one phone jack and I want to connect both a fax machine and my DSL modem to it. I bought a splitter for the phone jack and while this handles the DSL model fine I can’t get a dial tone on other jack of the splitter for the fax machine to use to send/receive. Any ideas as to what I can try here?
