Title: Efax / Zfax Via Irda And Mobile Phone?
Post by: daniel3000 on February 15, 2006, 04:53:15 am

Hello,

is it possible to use efax with zfax on an SL-C3000 via IrDA in order to be able to send and receive faxes via mobile phone?

If yes, which phones are tested?

when I last played with faxing from PDAs, I found that not all mobile phones are proper fax devices - some require a lot more work on the connected computer.

I'll have to try and remember the details, it's been a while.

I think if you use minicom to connect over the serial/ir, and ask "AT+FCLASS?" you get the phone's fax class, and it needs to be 2.0 or 2.1?

Sorry to be vague.
