We just switched over to DSL from modem on home computers. Put DSL filters on the handsets in the house and also on the cord going to the computer modems. When we try to receive faxes only one of the computers will even attempt to "answer" the call. Is it possible that the two middle wires that we are using on the wires running through the house are reversed on the non-functioning modem? Both computers could previously do this. The suspect line can operate a telephone no problem. Seems odd to work on one, but not the other. The junction box on the exterior of the house has red to red and green to green, haven't yet figured out which connection goes to which outlet. Should I randomly try reversing some wires or does it even matter?
