Yes, the two lower connectors at the left side if you look at the jack.
To connect use two TAE jacks and wire the first two screws of them.
You must only get the fax modem to pick up the line, what doesn't work
if your modem has a BZT number, 'cause one of that rules is to only answer
if a ring signal was detected a few seconds ago.
