    S46, No standalone Fax/ Modem

    Hi to all: Am I right in thinking S46/AT&T, we can only use the Fax/modem in GPRS data mode (Menu 855). This phone cannot be connected to a Laptop or Palm (Via Cable or IRDA) & used as a standalone Fax modem. This method would incur a 1 minute call for say a 50 second fax. Just like a regular fax machine. Am I correct in my understanding: yes we can send a fax from our Palms or Laptops but only via GPRS/Fax. Thus a 1 minute fax would then NOT come out of our anytime minutes and in fact be more expensive by the Kb or Mb.


    Help please on this one.
    Reg. Frank R.

    S46 No Standalone Fax/modem

    I tried it. My proceedure Dell Win 2K laptop with IR port. Using Winfax and I got nowhere. The phone saw the laptop and attempted to dial but then would not connect.
