I'd like to have my telephone system working on same line as my ADSL and fax machine.

I want to save money by paying only for my adsl connection.

Is there service or product on market that can do it for me?

Thanks in adv for replaying to this message.

I think you know this already but what you're really talking about is VoIP (Voice over IP). The technology is pretty new and thus not perfect. There will be some delay's in conversations, people have reported that it sounds like talking through a shower curtain at times (muffled). Cisco is a leader in networking gear and is actively bringing new products to market. However, these products are expensive. You can buy software or go to Dialpad.com to make long distance calls over the net. But, allin all, the technology and the routers over the internet are still not up to par on performance for this to be an inexpensive and widespread route to take. I would suggest doing some more research on Cisco's (www.cisco.com) website though.
