I wish they would kill fax as a technology, and replace it with a digitial solution that uses secure PDFs / JPGs. I send/receive faxes about 3-4 times per year, and it's a pain sometimes to figure out how to do it, especially as we get rid of landlines and modems in laptops.
Here's a good site to compare internet fax solutions:
