I just got a second phone line installed and it's going to be used for my computer and fax machine. How do I set it up so I can use both with only one jack?

Summary
This article describes how to set up your phone line so it can be used with both your modem and fax machine (or telephone).

Answer
Take the cord going from the jack to the modem and make sure it's plugged into the jack labeled LINE on your modem. Next, take the phone cord coming from your fax machine and place it into the jack labeled PHONE on the back of the modem. Now, when the phone rings on that second line, even if your computer is off, the fax machine will pick it up.
