[aklug] Re: Faxing and cell phones

Personally, I avoid faxes whenever possible. You just can't do Real
Estate without one though. At least, not yet. You start dealing with
these corporations and they still demand you send and receive faxes.

The only reason I haven't set up with a fax service is that I can't get
an Alaska phone # on any of then yet. At least not the last time I
checked.

At typical faxed Real Estate contract tends to run 18 pages. I don't
think its fair to ask people to send that many pages a couple of times
per deal long distance. Last time I ran the numbers, the best I could
come up with long distance was just over $ 0.25 /page plus a monthly
fee.

I don't suppose AT&T will give people some voip #'s to go along with
their wireless internet service? Ala - Clearwire. With that combination,
I'd be tempted to set up my own fax server.

Clearwire, with their voip service, gives you a Linksys 2102 FXS. Or was
it FXO? I'm always getting them mixed up.

At any rate, the 2102 is advertised as being able to handle fax
protocols, but I haven't gotten around to trying mine for that as yet.
