RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Fax Question
Another reason that people hang to it is that on some countries fax is a legal document while e-mail is not. Same reason why Telex is still used were e-mail is available but fax is not (some fishing vessels to my knowledge), communication media that has a legal status. Legislation changes slower than technology, so fax will be with us for a while.

There still are many reasons to use fax, and yes, one of these is because so many people still have them and an analog phone line to boot.

But for some reason people just feel the need to hang on to them. There are still many valid uses for fax. The technology is not going away any time soon. While an electronic signature is legal in many cases, there are several where a signed document, even if it's faxed, is the only method that is allowed by law. The new technologies that allow scan to email are great (I prefer the scan to pdf instead of tiff), but they have their limitations.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Fax Question
Your best bet is to just not use fax machines. They are outdated technology. With email there is little reason to use fax machines anymore. But for some reason people just feel the need to hang on to them. A good solutions is to get a fax machine that supports fax to email. We have a Brother 8440D, that you can type in a fax number or a email address and hit send, works the same both ways. Only with the email it attaches a tiff image to an email. You can also set up an email box that the fax machine will check and download and print "faxes" from. And if you must have a fax number, you can sign up for a fax to email phone number for a provider like efax.com.
