Not that I'm aware of. My approach would be to use a data plan
on the cell phone to connect a PC up to the internet, and then
use various internet based solutions. But that doesn't hook up
an existing fax machine, it makes the PC the fax machine.

Sorry I don't have more...


Thanks for asking,

Leo
