Send a fax while on the phone, DSL connection?

[Trippp]

I'm trying to determine if I can send a fax while on the phone. I'm using a
DSL connection and have a fax modem. Will I still need to use a fax service
to do this? Or even have a separate fax line and a stand alone fax machine?
I need to be on the phone with the fax recipient when I send it.

Have you tried using SKYPE which allows you to phone people via
internet/dsl line and this should free up your analog telephone line for
faxes. The link is here:

You need a headphone or special USB phone and if you want to phone for
free then your intended/target person should also be on skype. For
example you can talk with me (I am in the UK) for free whereever you
happen to be on this planet!!!

When you send a fax you use the computer fax modem and analog telephone line
not the DSL connection.
If I understand what you are trying to do, you should consider the computer
fax modem and your telephone as extensions on the same telephone line. What
I do is first call the person I am sending the fax to. When that person is
ready to receive the fax, I start the fax process. When the fax process
begins, I hang up my telephone {the other person should also} and allow the
fax to complete. When the fax is complete, I either pickup the phone or call
back.

I have an ADSL connection and I do this all the time on a single line. As I
understand it, the (A)DSL connection uses bandwidth not used by the dial-up
connection--that's what the "splitter" is for--so its quite easy to use the
phone for voice, fax, data, whatever even while it's sending and receiving
via (A)DSL. The two components are independent and don't interact/interfere
with one another at all.
