I've done this several different ways. 1) modem that they plug into the fax line only when you call them and ask them to. Always seems to work. USB modems are pretty inexpensive, too. 2) cheap cell phone with a data cable. Shows up as an AMR device in Linux and again, always seems to work. Don't need a data plan, it's seen as a fax (voice) call by the cell companies. 3) USB 3G internet "stick" -- generally works, but is pricier and you keep paying for a plan. The difference is that you can share that plan amongst clients. Honestly though, if they've got a fax line, #1 is cheap and reliable. #2 is almost as much. -A. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
