Don't forget, it can be used to send faxes - worth having jus=

You type the message in normally, but enter a phone number instead of an
email address.

No paper, it can't receive or scan.

Don't forget, people here are working on cracking the code so these can be
used for various tasks.

It may be possible to add a Basic interpreter and use them as a
computer/word processor.

IIRC, the earlier 2.xx models have the sendfa=
x
capability. iow, the white eMessage, & the dark brown
mailstation befor=
e the mivo name was used.

The 3.xx models (mailstation/mivo 100's) are t=
he same
white or brown too, but I don't know if they have the
sendfax capa=
bility.

Pretty sure none of the 4.xx ergonomic case models have it.

In 2.=
53yr there is a function that I named as:
byte sendfax(char *faxnumber, cha=
r *msgbody, char *subject, char
*username);
in the mailstation.h header I u=
ploaded back in Febuary.
I have never tried to call it yet, but I imagine i=
t will
send a fax if it is called.
