It's such a backward technology though and outside the convenience most people's (or bureaucrats') rationales for wanting faxed copies of something are deeply flawed. The assumption is that a faxed document is somehow a proof of veracity than an EPS signature on an electronic document. They are, of course, both easily faked.
On top of that fax on a data compression can't compare to e-mail or relatively plain text and the quality of multiply faxed documents is awful. And on top of all that, the idea that you get a digital file, print it out, write on it, scan it in and send it (whether via computer/scanner or fax machine) and the other person does the opposite at the other end (often needing a digital copy) is absolutely absurd in an age of environmental concerns. Fax should die. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
