Subject: [NEXTEL-1] bizzarre phone/nextel question

Currently my agency uses 11 Nextel i1000+ phones.
 
One of our vehicles has mounted in it a Motorola Bagphone (AMPS style)
activated thru Verizon Mobile.  Interfaced to our bagphone is a Fax/data
adapter allowing a modular cord to be connected to the adapter to permit
either a Fax Machine or Data connection via a phone modem.
 
First, is there anything of equal setup available for the above nextel phone
(or for that matter any of the newer available nextel phones)?
 
Second, is there anything of equal setup available from any of the cell
phone companies? (In my area Verizon and US Cellular/Cellular One is
prominent. Haven't looked at the PCS Network providers as coverage isn't up
to snuff where I need it.)
 
Bag phone I realize is no longer doable.
Only requirement here is I need to connect a conventional fax machine
through a modular plug to the phone.
 
Reason: Interfacing a phone patch from some portable radio equipment for
access by a 911 center for field deployment during disasters. (as well as
trying to upgrade equipment in a Mobile command Post that has a standard
office style fax machine.)
 
Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas, etc are welcome.
 
Thanks in advance
Tony
