It appears quite common for GSM modems to support fax over CSD at speeds up to 9.6kbps. When I had a Sony p800 a good few years ago, it came with a fully fledged fax send and receive service. Normally, you need a separate "fax" mobile number (see http://support.rfsolutions.co.uk/faq/content/8/56/en/gsm-modem-dial-in-csd-fax_data-call.html ) See previous posts from a year ago that discuss this and seem indicate that this is feasible. http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/002654.html http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/002660.html http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/002708.html This functionality would be useful in the UK because not all companies even use email yet, and some still require written communication. regards Martin _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
