[iBook] Cellphone and my ibook

[Brian Olesky]

About a year ago, I tried to get a Sprint phone that would act as a modem
for my 600 Mghz iBook, so I could use it to log on and get my email when I
was away from a landline, but Sprint maintained they had no phones with this
capability, which is pretty much what you're looking for, I think. Recently
I asked about a bluetooth phone to hook up to my new PowerBook, and they had
nothing here, either.

But if it's just faxing you want, there are several Internet-based fax
services that will let you send and receive faxes the same way you currently
do emails. I don't remember the names offhand, but a Google search will find
them for you. Will that kind of system work for you?
