I have never ever sent or received faxes other than through modem and
computer. The only "real" fax machine I bought or used was a gift for my
daughter on her fifth birthday. I have never considered them anything
else but toys for small children and people of similar intellectual and
technical ability like lawyers.

I still have some old an very high quality modems and can use them with
the old software running in an emulated Atari computer. But nowadays I
use service providers. One receives faxes sent to my diverted fax number
and passes them on to me as mail attachments and the other prints,
folds, wraps, and posts my letters sent to him as PDF and can do the
same for fax.

Faxing has become so rare an exception today that I would not buy
anything new for the purpose. I have received very few faxes in the last
decade and all of them were spam or scam.
