We pretty much do just that but with Printers that check a POP3 or iMAP mailbox 
then automatically print what's in the mailbox with attachment, works 
swimmingly with Fax to e-mail as well.-

"Fax is point-to-point. It’s difficult to intercept except at the endpoints, 
interception between the endpoints takes a lot of specialised knowledge, and no 
endpoint is a honeypot. The medium is not inherently copyable. Interception at 
the endpoint takes a significant amount of time and requires the physical 
presence of an attacker. Any attacker would be able to access relatively few 
records. Access would be expensive and slow with very high risk of discovery 
(unless the attacker was on staff in which case all communication methods would 
be equally compromised), while for the legitimate user the rate of access is 
easily sufficient. So fax is actually not a bad means of transferring private 
data as long as the fax machines are not located in public spaces."

Internet fax would be nice - fax machines with publicly reachable IP addresses, 
protected by SSL, that just print whatever page is sent to them. Some form of 
authentication would be essential of course :-)

Regards, K.
