Hello John,

I just wanted to write to say that I followed your excellent instructions at 
<http://homepage.mac.com/JRC/contrib/mobile_office/> and am now happily using my 
V60c to do e-mail.  This has allowed me to drop my Earthlink account that I was 
using just for travel.

Besides wanting to thank you for a great resource, I noticed that in your FAQ 
you don't have any suggestions for FAXing.  While I don't know how to use the 
phone as a FAX modem (if that's even possible), I will say that I've have been a 
satisfied customer of the J2 (formerly jFAX) service for years.

    <http://www.j2.com/> or <http://www.efax.com/>

While these look like different companies, they are actually complementary 
services offered by the same parent company which purchaced them both a couple of 
years ago.

And just like your wireless adventures, they have no offical Mac support.  But 
both services support sending faxes from documents that you e-mail them.  The 
most reliable being PDF, which of course every Mac OS X user can generate from 
anything they can print.  So faxing is litte more than e-mailing an attached 
PDF.  This can often be much smaller than the actual FAX data, I might add.

For viewing recieved FAXes, there are a couple of FAX viewing utilities for OS 
X; I use Tiff-Sight.

I have no affiliation with either, blah, blah, blah.

Thanks again,

James
