And I agree. After 166 years, it's time for this technology to die. There is absolutely no need for it anymore. >> I sure don't get a lot of faxes these days, but it seemed nice to have the >> capability of sending or receiving if necessary. > > I fax using my Brother MFD. That works. The last time I needed to fax I did it via the Internet. My printer DOES support faxing, but I don't have a landline, so not so useful. If people say they want a fax now a days I laugh at them and say, "No, seriously." Even the banks, Mortgage lenders, and doctor's seem to have figured out that a significant percentage of their customer have no way to fax anything. I have friends who have not had land lines since they moved out of their parents houses 10 years ago, and you can't fax from a mobile phone (or from Vonage either). -- 'Dojo! What is Rule One?'
