I have about the same problem, but only with receiving faxes.
I'm using a Siemens S55 in combination with iPaq3870 ; the software I'm
using is WinPhone Pocket 3.5.
Sending faxes doesn't give any problems : the phone dials, sends te fax and
after - depending the length of the fax - a few minutes I get a confirmation
on the screen that the fax has been send succesfully.
Receiving faxes doesn't work porfectly : the phone answers the call, the
software starts to configure to receive faxes, and at the moment that the
sending fax gives the message that the fax has been send succesfully, my PDA
gives an error. (The sending fax gives a positive fax report... strange.)
I've tried a lot of different configurations but all without any positive
result.

My oppinion the problem is the fact that BT uses - following my software on
PC - different COM ports for incomming and outgoing transfers. In my BT
configuration on PC - I'm using an Acer BT500 - the incomming transfer uses
COM4 and the outgoing transfer uses COM8. Unfortunatelly, my PDA doesn't
give the oppertunity to configure 2 COM ports...
