I bought the ComSwitch 5500 because my stupid HP PhotoSmart All-in-One with Fax doesn't listen for the fax tone and reroute the voice call back to a phone device. (I think HP designed it stupidly, although I like the other features of the All-in-one.) I bought the ComSwitch, it took one minute to set up, and it did NOT work. I called their tech support. They told me in ONE MINUTE that the settings I had on the All-in-one were wrong, how to reset it, I did and the ComSwitch works PERFECTLY EVERY TIME! I love a product that does what it says it will do!
Fax switch works great, once correctly programmed. I had trouble with the directions and called the help line. They cleared up my problem immediately and the switch has been working fine since.
Rating: - Works well and saved us money
We connected this Comm-switch ahead of our phone system, and used the distinctive ring feature (from the phone company). The device detects the special ring and routes the call to our fax machine, just as advertised. This line also contains DSL, and all is working fine.
Great price on Amazon, and this device saves us the cost of a separate phone line, about $40/month total.
Rating: - Works Great!
5500 works great! Be sure to compare to the 7500 as there are differences.
Also, tech support is out of, I think, Chicago. They can test the lines over the phones. I've used several others, now we just use this brand whenever we need a lineanalizer/telephone switch
