    Assuming one line: Wall Jack > Caller ID Unit > Fax > Phone.

    It also depends on what jacks the Caller ID Unit has. Might be able to plug both phone and fax into it. Most faxes have a jack to plug a phone into. Might need a 3-way splitter if Caller ID and Fax don't have jacks to plug anything into.
