I understand that Microsoft Fax Service does not work with DSL . . .

.. . . but . . .

.. . . my PC (Dell 8250) came with a Conexant PCI Modem, which has a
telephone jack out the back.

Can I split the line before the DSL Modem; & run the telephone side to the
PCI Modem to then be able to fax in & out?

Worth a try, right?

Thanks,

1--You will need a line filter.
2--Make sure the PCI modem works.
3--Set up the FAX software.
4-- Give it a try, it should work at least it does for me.
 
Damn right you can. That's exactly what I've done. Just make sure you put a
filter (which your DSL provider should have supplied) on the modem side of
the split.
