Phone splitters a bad idea?
We have three Comcast lines via an Arris phone box. The intent was to use two as voice and the third for both a fax machine and also for our alarm system monitoring. I had it rigged up with the fax and alarm lines into a splitter, which I then plugged into the Telephone 3/4 jack on the Arris box. Have had all kinds of issues with intermittent loss of dial tone and blinking green light on Arris display for line 3/4 and occasionally line 2.
Was it the splitter that somehow created the problem? If so, is there any way to share the line between fax and alarm? Can I use the Telephone 4 jack?

It is possible that the splitter may be contributing to the disruptions. More likely is what you are using the lines for. We do recommend when you are using 2 data connections like an alarm and a fax line that they be on dedicated lines. When a fax comes in it would disrupt the service on the alarm system and vice versa. If you would like I can also look further into the issues. Can you please send a private message with the name, address and phone number on the account?
