All the Palms do much the same thing. Even the Handspring Visor. They mainly
vary in terms of processor speed and memory, although the IIIc is colour.
The V is more stylishly packaged though.
Not sure about fax software but emails should be fine. Web browsing can be a
bit weird - text only, or else a gateway server translates the web images to
2 bit monochrome for you... just slightly more complicated to set up.
}One more thing: if I wanted to buy a color matrix Palm, and then needed
}to get the external modem, could I then plug it into a cell phone? Are
}there utilities for that?
As long as the mobile phone has an infrared modem thing then it should be
OK. The Palm modem is for plugging into POTS; my Palm happily goes online
via the IR on my Nokia 7110.
