Motorola V710
Faxing
I'm wondering if anyone has tried faxing from a laptop using the V710 (over the bluetooth connection).
I have no problem using the V710 to connect to the net via bluetooth (as a modem)...but I can't seem to use it as a fax.
I go through the Windows Fax wizard. It connects via bluetooth to the phone...starts to call the fax number I selected from my address book, but then disconnects immediately...rather than establishing a connection and sending the fax.
Any advice is appreciated.

Tried it, same (or similar) issue. I got a message about the phone not supporting class 1 (or was it class 2) faxing, or something like that.
I haven't tried it with the data cable yet - that might be the answer. If the data cable works, then it's a bluetooth limitation (there is a fax profile in the spec, that the V710 doesn't support - there is also a "Generic serial port profile" that might work as well, if it can be treated as a serial modem). But underneath it all, I think the phone has to respond to certain fax commands, and I'm not sure if the V710 supports those.

I've used my V710 to send faxes from Mac OS X via bluetooth with no problems.
