ADSL, splits the existing copper cable into two frequency sets 4Hz-22Hz for 
normal telephones via a filter in between the phone and the wall socket, 
and 22Hz-> for ADSL connections.
If you where to put your fax on the line with a filter yes it would work.
Telstra will supply 3 filters included in the price of socket fitting, and 
upgrade each existing socket in the house.
