Apparently mobile/cell phones do not support the protocall necessary for FAX machines. This looked like the perfect solution: http://www.phonelabs.com/prd05.asp
But one of the FAQs states: Digital voice networks do not support modem or fax tones. Older analog cellular service will allow use of modems and fax at very low speeds but is expected to be discontinued later this year. However, the digital voice networks do allow the passing of DTMF tones to transmit information to such as devices as IVR systems that require touch tones. Credit card readers, fax, TiVo ,DirecTV, or other satellite TV systems are not supported by digital voice cellular service.
I know I can connect my phone to my PC using USB or Bluetooth and it appears as a modem. But, I have not tried using it to send/receive faxes from my PC. Might need to try that out.
