Can the Fusion virtual fax line print on a fax machine?

We have a Brother Intellifax 2840 in our office and we would like to have the virtual fax service, that is available through Fusion, send the faxed document to our fax machine and have it print out normally - just as if the machine was receiving a normal fax.

Circumstances:
We need both of the Fusion business lines for our phone lines (so we wouldn't be able to use one for the fax machine). There are several people who share the fax machine in the office, including 2 businesses apart from our own, so it doesn't make sense for us to have the virtual faxes sent to all of our email addresses. However, there isn't just one person who is always in the office to field faxes, so it doesn't really make sense for only one person to receive the emails generated by the Fusion virtual fax service either. The best solution would be for the faxes to be routed to the fax machine and printed somehow. (I know that having AT&T maintain our fax line, but having Sonic take over the other lines is an option, but we're trying to avoid maintaining AT&T services for just 1 fax line.)

Can we enable the fax machine to receive and print the incoming faxes with Fusion?

What about a DSL filter on the DSL line that splits out voice? Would a DSL filter that splits phone and DSL information on the line allow us to have the 2 Fusion voice lines, but then separately split the DSL line with a filter to allow for a fax line, without interruptions in DSL service? (Result: Line 1, Line 2, and DSL/non-digital fax line 3.)

Could we assign our fax machine a sonic.net email address somehow and designate that as the recipient email? Would the fax machine automatically print the file it receives in this case?

Please help, thank you!

No, there isn't a way to mix the old and new technology here.

You could add a FaxLine for each staff member, routed to their individual email. Each could then send and receive, all electronically.
