Or you could just use an IP-based fax service. Throw it away!

I have a perfectly good fax modem that connects to a serial port, and no reason 
for buying a new one.  The new computer doesn't have a built-in modem.  I could 
connect the serial modem with a USB to serial adapter, but that's a nuisance.  
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  For me, the cost saving of doing without 
serial, parallel, floppy is insignificant.  Every once in a while there is 
something I need on an old floppy that hasn't been moved to newer media yet. . 
. .  And, oh yes, I have a perfectly good printer that works off a parallel 
port.  Its PostScript interpreter is a lot better than the one that comes with 
my newer printer.

Right now I'm trying to convince our dear retro members to stop using 
serial ports and floppies. I expect my next crusade will concern parallel 
ports. I think it will be a long time before I get around to stock tips.

Hey Tom, seeing as you are so far into the future, can you give us some

This is very weird. The email I posted, which you are responding to, 
has not been delivered to my mail client, and you are responding 
tomorrow!
