    I’ll guess any business grade copy machine can also do fax without much setup. Old protocols don’t just vanish. It was only microslop that went down, that shit is just not needed that badly.

      While true, outside Japan I doubt anyone still has an analogue line connected to their copier, hell the UK are turning our POTS off this year I yhink. And yes fax gateways over ethernet were a thing but you still need to set one up - and finding someone who knows how to, and get the software, and find a provider to do the breakout back to POTS.

            Don’t worry without fax our trains wouldn’t be late! Because they wouldn’t drive in the first place
