Not really. I would use an eFAX service. Send them a jpg, pdf, doc(x)

At work, we're having to convert all our old POTS lines to VoIP.
The telcos don't want to spend the money to keep the old copper
phone lines working. You'll still be able to have a VoIP phone at

All the more reason to know how to get a message out via ham
radio. 😉
