Command Communications, Inc. -the inventors of the original fax switch -offers several cost-saving solutions targeted for the consumer and commercial communications market.

Command-comm's telephone line sharing devices (such as ASAP® 104, ASAP® 2080, ASAP® DR40, COMSWITCH® 3.0, COMSWITCH® 7500, and COMSWITCH® 5500) are designed to allow line-sharing. These devices are designed for the home office (SOHO) to automatically route incoming calls to a variety of telephone devices (typically telephones, fax machines, and/or computer modems).

Using one of these (rather inexpensive) devices can save you significantly in terms of multiple telephone line charges that you would have to pay otherwise to your local telephone company.

Some of the above mentioned devices allow your to connect three to four devices (telephone, answering machine, fax, and your data modem) to a single phone line. The later models work seamlessly with your DSL broadband signal provisioned using your good old POTS voice line.
