[Bluez-devel] Fax using Bluetooth, no FAX profile

[Bastien Nocera]

Heya,

I was looking at whether it was possible to use a Bluetooth mobile phone
to send a fax. But I realised my phone doesn't have the FAX profile,
only a Serial Port one. Is it possible at all to send Faxes using this
(ie. would be dependent on the phone implementing +ATFCLASS properly),
or I shouldn't even think about it?

Cheers

there is actually no big difference between Fax Profile and Serial Port
Profile. The only big difference is a different SDP record and on some
GSM devices you might find an extra port for Fax. So in general using
the Serial Port Profile should work fine. However I never send a fax
using my mobile phone, so I have no clue if this actually works.

Regards

Marcel
