There SHOULD be a connector on your computer for a standard phone
line. If there isn't, then your computer doesn't have a modem (hard
to imagine).

You only need to plug a standard flat phone cord into that, and then
into an adapter on the DSL filter that will allow you to share that
connection with the stand alone fax machine.

The adapter is pictured here (2-way/3-way).

Buy one locally for about a dollar.

Yes, I have one (or more) of those (2-way), but I don't have a stand alone
fax machine; I was trying to use the fax capability in Windows XP.

You need to get a doubler that allows you to connect a fax/modem cable as
well as DSL cable. This then allows you to send faxes as well as use
internet via your dsl line! Your DSL modem must have come with a doubler.
