phone
I have the cox phone and it plugged into the modem, my question is are the wall phone plugs through out the house not available for use. I like to have a phone in my room and setup a wireless fax and it says to plug into the phone jack? I don't want so many lines around in that one place.

The phone signal litterly comes from the modem, just like a video signal comes out of a VCR or DVD. What gives you a phone signal from there depends on what you connect the modem to. You can connect it to a 3 line splitter, so the one phone jack on the back would act as 3, just not at the same time.
Or you can connect the modem to a phone jack in your room. That "should" make the other jacks in the house also have the dial tone. The IF is if all the jacks are wired together, and not separated to different lines. If you need a phone in the same room as the modem, but still want to use your phone jacks, you can use a dual line splitter, phone cord from modem, to splitter in phone jack in wall, then another jack from splitter to phone.
