But if you pay Vonage for a second "fax" line it should work fine - it's £2.99 a month and can be added to your Vonage device in seconds (they all have a second port).

Sky’s key TV, broadband and phone package, the 8Mb “See Speak and Surf”, costs £37 including the BT line rental. The satellite dish is free but there is a £20 activation fee. You get free evening and weekend landline calls as well as Sky One.
