Hopefully the Industry will take a look at affordable hardware based

Fax? To get the information on paper? In 2021? Why?
Fax is faster than email and arrives, while email delivery to a
recipient can not
been guranteed. Secondly it is more dezentralised than smpt(s) servers with
many users. Third assuming households have muli-purpose printers too
they can simply scan the Fax for further processing.
Hardware based AES/DH crypto phones (no smartphones) would be a welcome
addition too.
Why limit yourself with expensive special purpose hardware that has far
less options than the current?
Why not, this product is available and does not limit Internet users to
do other things
besides encrypted Fax usage.
Or that the OpenPGP community revives PGPfone, for free Internet calls,
at least ...
I think Signal has already stepped into that niche.
No, Signal is an easy to monitor smartphone tool needing a server with
registered users, while
PGPfone was a Computer usage only tool, for direct and secure comms,
between two endpoints,
without server usage. Dialing was done from IP address to IP address and
verified with the included
PGP wordlist.
