BTW, I had a lot of noise on the POTS system at one condo I was in with VOIP hooked up; it's recommended to unhook the POTS wires from the telco on the outside of the house, and connect them together (twist both wires of a single line together). However, it didn't really help the noise at the condo.
I had better luck at an apartment with the same equipment, and later at 2 houses with the broadvoice equipment.

I'm not quite understanding you. Are you saying you were using only VoIP and the POTS wiring was causing noise? Were you using the POTS wiring to connect your phones to one another and to the VoIP box?
The POTS phone device I want to hook up to a VoIP has 5 wireless handsets so only the base needs to be plugged into the VoIP device. I do not need to use the POTS wires.
And your fax will be in the same room as the VOIP adapter and the phone?
