I'd like to send and receive faxes on my computer, and wonder if the iPhone can be connected to the computer via a modem so I can use it as a telephone (for telephone-based stuff, not for internet or whatever)?
Got a tip for us?

Any way to connect the iPhone to the computer so it can be used as a telephone?

No, that's the phone sharing its internet connection. The iPhone doesn't do this, but other phones do.
He's asking about sharing the PHONE connection with the computer to use as a fax line. No cell phone in the world does this.
What the original poster needs is a service that takes faxes and turns them to e-mails and then sends to them to you. I've never used any of these, so I'm not suggesting them. I'm just reporting what Google gave me:
