<div dir="auto">This is a frequent topic of discussion on Anglo facebook groups because olim arrive here and can not understand that faxes are still used here.<br />
<br />
The most common answer is to use an app on a smartphone or a web site. Both upload your document to a central server and fax from there.<br />
<br />
I wont even touch on the security or privacy issues.<br />
<br />
We have an actual scanner/printer/fax. My wife uses it the most, she scans a document so she has a backup copy and then uses the windows fax program that came with the device.<br />
<br />
I used to use a linux server with Hylafax and a serial modem and then upgraded the modem to a USB fax modem I bought from eBay.<br />
<br />
I dont know if either USB modems or hylafax is still available.<br />

My printer was of the type which combines printing + scanning + FAX. A<br />
week ago it died, and I looked for a new printer with the same<br />
combination of features.<br />
Turned out that there is a shortage of<br />
printers, so I bought a printer with scanner but without FAX.<br />
<br />
And now I am looking for a solution to continue to receive FAX messages<br />
on my landline phone line.<br />
<br />
I have some questions:<br />
1. If you work at an organization (or own it) which still uses FAX<br />
technology, which solution/s does your organization use?<br />
2. What model of FAX modem would you recommend?<br />
3. What FAX software do you use under Linux, if any?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Keep healthy,<br />
