Is there a way for panther to set the default fax modem to be the modem of an airport base station ? If so, it'd be cool :-)

  It would be incredibly useful on a network to have 1 Panther Mac hooked up to an analog phoneline, and let the other Panter machines send faxes through that machine. Just like sharing your printers... In fact I thought this was in the developer previews of Panther, but now I can't find it anywhere?

  No.
  
  I was thinking about the same possibility, but so far, everyone I spoke to agrees that it is not possible.
  
  That's not an Airport problem, though.
  It seems that the WiFi-Standard (or whatever the tech term is) is not designed to support faxing .....
  So whatever wireless access point/router (and there are not that many with a modemport) you use with your Mac (or PC for that matter) you won't be able to fax with it.
  
  I would be more than thrilled if someone would came up with a solution to this problem.
