Fax, Answering machine, or Internet for 56k modem - Networking

OK I got a NIB Socket CF 56k Modem on ebay for next to nothing. I couldn't pass it up. BTW its a v.92 and I have a Dell AXIM X50v
1st. I want to access the internet when I'm traveling or in an emergency though dial up. I will spend about $6 a month for it if I have too. Who supports this kind of service? My broadband provider has free dial up but they have a propietary dialer you have to activate that isn't for WM. Anyone know what company's I can look at? I got onto the free new england dial up no problem. But I'm in Florida AC(813).
2nd Is there any answering machine software I can get? The cards supposed to support caller ID etc....
3rd Is there any kind of fax software I can get to receive faxes while I"m mobile?
Anyhelp would be greatly apreciated.
thanks guys

1 not sure what it is you want to do a pda cant use an external old analog modem
and one cant connect to a normal analog modem service with a pdaphone
one can connect with a laptop to an analog modem service and connect to the laptop with the pda.
but if one is traveling in other countries and connect to an isp at home it will cost alot

So far the best solution seems to be dial4less.com here in the states. They say there fully PPC compatible and don't use dialers. Covers a lot of the U.S. And they have a 25 hour a month plan for 5.99 a month.
I'm gonna play with the i secretary. Now I just need to find a fax program. Any other ISP's I should look at lemme know. I'd love to get 5 or 10 hours a month for cheaper.

ok I found a great fax program for a cf 56k modem too. Its called KSE True Fax 2004 3.01v. I tried other versions but they only worked with WM phone editions. This will work with a normal PDA with a compact flash modem.

Wireless Modem in WM2003

Why is there no wireless modem in "4.00.11 ENG WM2003"?
Can I install Wireless Modem to WM2003 manaually?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I really want to check my emails when I am off road.
any ideas?
i would search on google to see if you can download or buy the application
otherwise why do you need to make your xda a wireless modem to check your mail ?
if it's a pop/smpt mail server and your isp have it open you can check mail with your xda using gprs
thats what i do
if gprs costs $1 for 1KB, you cant really use it!
so, i wanna dial up to my ISP instead using gprs.
i checked google and could not find anything!
Code:
if gprs costs $1 for 1KB, you cant really use it!
WOW!!!! never heard about such extreme gprs prices
here it's around $2 pr 1MB
GPRS Price
Yeah, wow, GPRS is about £1 per 1Mb in the UK.
I guess thats a typo!
not a typo. i am in a little island in europe
is the price to talk equaly high ?
if not then it would prob be cheaper to shout 1's and 0's and transfer data that way
if you wanted to use the xda as a modem would that not be over gprs aswell ?
i know that you can use a gsm as a normal modem aswell but not all that many isp's support it
and at a higher price too i think
the talk price is fine. it's still higher than in many countries in europe, but i am okey with it.
so, i am planing on using my gsm phone to call to my isp. my isp allows that and my carier allows data tranfer over the phone capability.
what i am just missing is the software - wireless modem!
you could try and diasm a rom and pick out the files for vmodem if it works with 2003
otherwise i suppse you have to go back to 2002

FAX

Is it possible to send a Fax with the Tytn? Or with the Laptop to use the Tytn as a Fax-Modem?
Fuzzibär
yes, it is posible.
You would require CSD (DATA CALL) services enabled on your GSM account. Mobile terminated and Mobile originated. Talk to your carrier data support services.
Once enabled, connect your TytN to your laptop over USB or BT in wireless modem mode.
on your desktop computer configure dialup connection using yout TyTN as modem.
om Tytn:
start--> settings --> CSD Line Settings:
choose:
modem mode: V.32
connection element: non-transparent
Soft reset your device for new settings to become effective.
@SecureGSM I tried your procedure on my Universal but the Windows XP computer does not recgonize the Universal modem as a fax modem.
Probably the Universal modem is not fax compatible. I am surprised that the TyTn uses a fax compatible modem. Actually this procedure has worked for me on my Nokia 6600 but never on the Universal. I have got my service provider to enable both Fax and Data service and I can connect to the internet with the CSD connection.

Cingular no longer supports CSD
According to Cingular Customer Support, Cingular does not offer CSD capability any longer. This service was discontinued in December of 2005.
My operator still offers CSD, and I wonder, is it necessary to do it through a computer? I mean, can't the Hermes send a fax all by itself?
My pre-upgrade 8525 showed as an HTC Modem in Control Panel / Phone and Modem Options / Modems tab before upgrade. Now it doesn't. It's that darn Internet Sharing app, which actually works great and gave 725 kbps here near DC one morning on 3G. Wow. That's fast.
You see, it appears Cingular removed WModem.exe and the help and shortcut files from the upgrade. I tried WModem.exe from my SX66 and it ran but it did not show up as a modem. That's probably because of registry or the hardware port for the modem differs from SX66 (Blue Angel) to 8525 (Hermes).
SO.....
Do any of you pre-upgrade 8525 owners have WModem.exe at minimum from your My Device/Windows directory? Can you share it here? (It's an invisible system file on a Winows PC. Turn on Tools / Folder Options / View / Show system files to see it and transfer it)
If you can do this, I will try a wireless fax on Cingular with the 8525. I did send wireless faxes on Cingular with my SX66, but they each cut off at the same page position, about 1/5 down. Cingular credited months of CSD when I explained that fault.
Yes, wireless faxing is possible. As stated above, your account must be provisioned with CSD from Cingular for $3.99 / month. I have had that since way back in 2005 or 2004 and Cingular confirms they will not market CSD to new accounts or provision CSD to existing accounts; you have to be grandfathered in, and even then support is nearly nonexistent.
I work with a volunteer group and fax PIHI under HIPPA regs to the front desk during meetings. That's my fax use; it's tethered.
P.S. 2007-11-18: Cingular 3rd tier tech support has ironed out most problems with CSD as I continue to learn about wireless faxing. I found a Cingular ROM of early release on the web but it won't load, most likely because the 6.0 Professional ROM has a 2+ bootloader, but we (our Cingular Family) have one upgrade avaialble, so I'll get an 8925, which an HTC rep promised has got the Wmodem app, saying "I've got one here in my hand, and it's there". The BT modem doesn't fax. I am exploring ETSI modem standards and learning my extended AT codes like AT+GMM, etc. I used the Motorola RAZR belonging to my Cingular Family primary account holder to send a complete wireless fax the other day, so I know CSD is working. I'm working to set up intenet connection sharing on my home PC by dialing home but that's not free, like it is with a T-mobile My Faves account. Slow and steady progress like the CSD service itself. A call from Cingular 3rd tier to me is scheduled for [email protected] EST to finalize this service. I"ll ask for a year's credit of CSD because the rep admitted the account was misprovisioned.

I grandfathered my CSD line and still have it, but now...
I have a Russian Ring Central desk set on Phone Works 2004 on Windows XP Tablet PC edition inside a VMWare virtual machine with 4 Intel i5 cores and 2.9 GB of RAM on a Samsun XE700T1A-H01 Slate to connect with, *and* the AT command set from Option.

Wow, I posted that 11 years ago! I can't even make it out what it was about, although I remember my beloved TyTn...

Using XDA as wireless modem

Is my operator able to tell when I am using my MDA pro as a wireless 3g/GPRS modem for my laptop etc, as opposed to browsing directly using built in apps? I ask because the T-Mobile bloke in the shop said I had to pay per megabyte if using the device as a modem.
If they can't, I am slightly questioning why I've got my MDA pro. I've already got an hp4700 which in many ways I slightly prefer, and that combined with a bluetooth phone could potentially do everything the mda does, except save me the embarssment of holding a large PDA with a crap speaker to my head when on the phone.
It's definitely not easy for them, but it is possible to tell (unlikely they would bother however). Why don't you just upgrade to Web & Walk PRO - it's only about £2 per month more than the standard WnW plan and it DOES allow you to use it as a modem?
I did it a few times with XdaIIi on GPRS. Speed was still bad and have my VPN drops all the time on PC. Just got the HTC P3600 and want to do the same using HSDPA.
Same issue with the operator: no body know how to set it up. The guys there eventually give up and allow me to browse their intranet to seach for info. Still not working yet.

Faxing on Cell Phones

I have fax machines, it's all set up for use on a landline. I want to be able to fax through my cell line instead of my landline. I really want to cancel the landline.
I know how to tether via USB - EDGE, I'm thinking it's basically the same steps. Set up a dial up conn, but instead of putting in the tether number (*99#) put in the number that u are faxing to. And for incoming have the fax come in your cell phone then reverse the process (cell>pc>fax machine.)

Low Tech Solution?

You might build a converter to plug the fax line out into the headpiece jack of the cell for a low (medium?) tech solution... Even that would be a project, and it wouldn't automate the process...

After a year have pass, anything new on this?
fax machine plugged into the PC via USB, WM phone connected to PC, then fax it instead of using data with internet sharing, maybe a diff prog that does voice to dial out
if that dont work i guess i have to settle for scan it then send it to PC, then fax it with internet...what are some programs or services to send fax?

Funny how a search on google turned up more than a search on our own damn forum...Search function sucks!
The SE Xperia X1 has a inbuild FAX Modem.
Sending a Fax with the X1 is from the Hardwareside possible.
I have searched the last week nearly two days
for a software that i can install on the X1
for fax handling.
The only programm that was prommissing was
"True Fax". True Fax make the Phone to a Fax macine.
It allow sending and receiving of Fax with
the Mobilephone.
This programm however is outdated and
works only for older HTC Phones.
I have solved my problem by replacing the need of a fax with the mail functionality of the phone.
You should have however have the possibility to connect
the X1 Modem with Vista over BT. Afterthis select as outgoing connection in Vista the new Modem. With a good Faxprogramm your Fax should be send by the SE X1.

I read your post and like the idea, so I tried to set up a remote connection to the phone, in Vista, but the wizard will not display the phone modem (assuming there is one). The remote connection utilty in Vista looks like it always did in Windows (I see it sometimes because it pops up when I launch my wifi modem's connection). If the modem is found, any fax program should find it.
I should think there is a way because it's not too long ago since the gsm operators were actively marketing their business packages with the big thing then - fax from the mobile. I know I can still get an extra number to the mobile phone, that will only handle fax calls.
If it cannot be done, you an always let Vista use X1s internet connection, then send the document with something like PamFax for Skype (works great and the pennies for sending can be deducted from the Skype account so there's no extra business of filling up credits).
-------------
Reclaim the fax! I don't call customer service or the government or the bank or whatever any longer - it's just holding lines and a lot of options that take you to an automated voice that says something stupid. If you send an email, you don't know if they'll answer. If they get a fax, for sure it WILL land on someones desk and they will treat it as a formal letter.
--------------
Actually in bigger companies, their fax machines are inside their COMPUTERS. So there is nothing landing on anyones desk
And probably smaller companies can't afford a 'real' fax machine and will just use their computers.... same result
I'm in Europe. We're different.
You can try install BT dialup networking profile and then connect phone from vista as COM port modem.
