When I bought my printer, I got it with a fax machine because I still

I called the bank today to dispute a direct draft charge to my
checking account. The girl said she would fax me a form. I asked her
if she could just email it to me. She said....no sir, we can't do
that.
So I am waiting on a fax as we speak. I only have one line so my fax
and voice share the same phone number.
Fax machines should have died 15 years ago. They should at least give
them an email address.
Get an account with one of those online fax companies. There used to be freebie
one's available, but they may be no more.
I think they are still available for free. I periodically get spam
offering it, and I signed up for one. There is Fax-to-pc and there
is pc-to-fax I'm not sure if both are available free from the same
company, but you can sign up for each free half at two different
companies if you really want.
My printer is also a fax machine. If I expect a fax, I turn it on. Otherwise, it
isn't on unless I'm printing, and doesn't bother the phone machine.
I used to send out about 10 faxes every 2 or 3 months, hiking
schedules to newspapers. Somewhere after I stopped doing that, my
Fax-modem software stopped working and now less than once every 2 or 3
years I go to a cell phone store or staples or something to send or
receive. A dollar a page last I looked, and if you call them, they'll
tell you their fax number. Sending at Staples is self-service.
