[cable] Ambit Data cable modem

I have charter pipeline 256/3000 service. I am using there Ambit Data Cable Modem-model#u10c018(external cable modem w/usb and ethernet) and I also have Lingo VoIP service on all telephone jacks in my house. I just purchased a lex mark p3150 printer. This is a integrated copy/scanner/fax printer. Can anyone tell me if I can use the fax feature with my above setup(cable modem) and if so where do I plug my telephone line to and do I need a filter or what?

Plug the fax line in your phone line.

Ok, it's not a real fax...this means you need to use a fax-modem in your PC.

ok! Now can I use this with Lingo VoIP and do I need a filter? I don't want to fry my modem! or cause any conflict.

No filter, your modem should be able to handle your Lingo line. You may experience problems with faxes using VoIP services.

Yep you were right! Pc/fax modem dials out and connects but then throws an error. Any other way I can make it work? Without drastic changes...

Well, it should be working, try to investigate on where this error comes from (VoIP line, bug, physical setup(cheap RJ11)).

well overall I finally found out that the faxes that I sent actually arrived to the recipient but I still get the error report. I assumed that when I got the error message, that the fax was not transmitted or going through, but they did! Wow! new one on me. I see no way in the fax console(program) that explains where the error might be related to. Any ideas of where I might find this information out?

Is it an error or transmission confirmation?
