Aha! So the Bluetooth link is short?

Yes. There are a couple of different Bluetooth power specs, but the vast
majority Bluetooth devices (like 99.9+% of all cell phones :-) ) spit out 10mW
of RF which is supposed to translate into a link "up to 33 feet." In
real-world usage, in an open area you often do get somewhat close to that,
e.g., 20-25' or so.

I expect most people with that Panasonic system either (1) leave their phone
right next to the "basestation" or (2) if *cell* reception is weak there,
leave it in the nearest window or whatever that does have good cell reception.
And they probably leave it plugged in to its charger.

The DECT handsets go much further -- certainly far enough to cover most any
house up to a mini-mansion unless you have, e.g., foil-backed insulation or
live in a concrete home with rebar.

I presently receive faxes via MyFax, but still sending via a
land-line. Looks like time to go entirely to MyFax.

Yeah, in your situation that sounds like a pretty good plan.
