Emails better though because with a fax machine you can only address it to the phone number, which is usually one number for the entire organization or for the entire department if it was a big company.
With email you can individually address it to the actual intended recipient.
Okay, fair, but that too can be setup with my idea. Just use “fax to email” functionality.
What I was trying to say is that when people are saying “I miss fax” they don’t necessarily mean the protocol (except people missing the audio modulated exchanges, which can be simulated, or otherwise adapted), they mean the steps they themselves had to do (maybe also the feedback from the machine). Maybe the certainty that the sent stuff will be seen by the first person walking by is something they want. As long as there is a choice I don’t see why that should not be possible.
