playing with the idea of getting rid of the landline. One thing
that is holding me back is how to fax. I am a little reluctant to
use online services as most the time I am sending personal
information.
Is there a way I could use my cell phone (LG VX4500) with either my
printer (HP psc 2210 all-in-one) or connect it to the modem of my
computer (Gateway 500XL)?

No. Faxing requires the use of an analogue fax modem attached to a
land-based phone line. How on earth you thought you could attach a mobile to
a printer and use it as a fax machine, I really don't know. Fax data signals
need to be carried by cables they don't (TTBOMK) travel very well through
air...

Hmm, I've used my Motorola Startac for faxing (Alltel) for 3 or 4
years ... I do not receive faxes via it, however. I _HAVE_ had some
receiving machines that don't work correctly with it, an OKIFAX 8650
being the worst.

The modem driver for it came with the cable ... it is old TrueSync
which does NOT work to download the phonebook, which I why I bought
it.
