You'd think that there would be a world-wide medical data-base, but something about privacy (read "insurance companies") keeps that from happening. There may be other outfits that live by FAX. There used to be a program for Windows that would let you send a FAX if you had a telephone modem. There may be one for LINUX. I don't know if you could receive on the computer. Probably nobody is still using a telephone modem.
