Faxes, simply aren't the outdated antiques, people take them for. The problem here is that many of you have not seen a modern fax. Faxes, and the faxing protocol have evolved right along with email and pop3. However, most people haven't been exposed to modern faxing. People still equate faxes to 20 year old brother faxes, that tie up the phone line, and use messy, rolls of ink on film. \
Today's modern faxes just like email take full advantage of the Internets coolness. Only unlike email the entire faxes process has a "font end" based in hardware. Insert the page, dial the number, and the receiving fax confirms delivery. Anyone, who knows me well, knows I would never support a idea unless it was cool and high tech!
The 2 steps required to fax, for me is far easier than scanning a document, waiting for the computer to receive the document, waiting for pdf conversion, opening up outlook, composing an email, sending the email, waiting for the email to send, waiting for a delivery conformation, and either sitting and praying that the email wasn't gobbled up by a spam filter. Finally, to confirm delivery the end user has to call the business, wait on hold... did you get my email... hold on let me check... 5 minutes of fucking with the computer later... yea I got it.
You people tell me which is easier?? :)
