unless you are on a ISDN connection or internal phone network, your telephone line is analgue...

I'd say its a very, very good chance it is an analogue connection.
ISDN is digital, PTSN is analogue and the type 99% or so of houses will have.

An ordinary analogue phone will have a plug like this:
An ISDN digital phone will have a connector like this:
Ignore the colours - concentrate on the shape.

No. The MP390 requires an analogue phone line.

Re: how do i know my BT phone line is digital or analog?
1) check the phone socket using an ordinary phone
2) check you've enabled the fax function on the MP390. I have a little experience of a similar Brother machine and it wasn't simple to work this out.
3) try the fax in the other direction
