Enhance Efficiency with Command Communications Comswitch 5500 3-Port Phone/Fax Modem Line Sharing Device Review

The Comswitch 5500 has been around for a long time and is stable when it can be programmed. I use it to intercept faxes before they reach my Avaya phone system.

It recognizes the distinctive ring and routes the call to a fax machine (or in our case, a desktop computer that also receives faxes). If the phone rings normally, the call will not be diverted - we can…

This little gadget pays for itself in just a few months. The product works as described and allows you to use a phone line to automatically process incoming voice calls and faxes, eliminating the need for a dedicated fax line.
