Fax / Modem / wireless

spider.s3 — Wed, 20 Oct 2004 08:26:06 GMT

Hi all

I want to use my laptop as a fax machine, but want to keep it wireless. is there anyway of making the built in modem on the laptop wireless ? so i can connect to the phoneline ?

i already have it set up though a router for my broadband and networking and also have the bluetooth set up for the printer and mobile phone.

Wouldn't you be better off using a PCMCIA WLAN (WiFi) card for Fax purposes instead? So long as you can connect to the internet it may work, there again maybe not.

May also depend on your preferred Fax software...

I don't think they have invented a wireless fax yet...

That is a pity as the Travel agents I used to work for wanted a portable Fax machine - still its probably around the corner!

Maybe they should make an MMS > Fax service
Kee-Lo said it first O2, T-Mobile, Orange and Vodafone!
