All my fax customers requiring physical machines are Pharmacies faxing
prescriptions, CPA's dealing with the IRS, Car Dealers doing Financing,
and Realtors doing who knows what. I do have one auto repair guy that
wanted a real fax machine so he could scribble out a sketch on a piece
of paper and fax it to his supplier. I'm pretty sure 100% of the need
for a real fax machine is the ease of scribbling it on a piece of paper
and sending it. Instead of scanning and then emailing.
Everyone else uses Email<->fax and is super happy with that.

I'm having fax problems as well. We're going to get reseller

*Subject: *[AFMUG] Fax Machines
I'm having trouble with one of my customers who insists on having a real
fax machine. I'm not convinced that it's not the Fax machine talking to
the ATA, so I was going to take another fax machine to their location to
test. From the Packet captures, it looks like the Fax machine does not
successfully negotiate the baud rate. I have several customers doing
faxing with ATA's and fax machines, the only difference with this
customer is that their ATA is off my network behind a Comcast
connection.
My desktop laser multifunction is a fax machine, but it also weighs
about 80lb so I don't really want to lug it over. I figured I could
pickup a cheap inkjet printer for <$50 and it would fax, but it looks
like fax capability is now relegated to the $200+ machines. Which I
guess makes sense since nobody 'should' be faxing anymore.
Are there still cheap fax machines out there that I'm missing.
