Well, I thought that an SMS message could replace the fax
dito. You'd probably find more people carying a cellular
phone around then a fax machine.

(The GSM box on the URL *does* fax sending, but, of course,
with the same "modem-style" interface, so you still have to
raster your fax message yourself).

PS.
The part in the URL (or a similar part from the same manufaturer)
is beeing used in an Elektor project (late 2002), where you turn
220v/110v equipment on and off with a SMS message.

        It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how it would help in sending a
fax? Perhaps you're referring to a cell phone's data capabilities?
