Businesses are faxaholics. I've never owned a FAX machine or even a
scanner/printer with FAX capability. I just use a faxmodem card in
my computer to send/receive. For many communications, I can go
paperless by faxing the output file from my wordprocessor or doing
an on-screen display of an incoming fax saved to disk.

If you have scan capability, save your document as a pdf file. It's the
rare computer that can't handle one of those.

Or better yet as a GIF. PDF, while useful for lots of kinds of
documents, is *horrible* for bitmapped images--el bloato. Nothing like
getting a 4 megabyte PDF that takes 5 minutes for me to download (dial-up).

I've been making lotsa 16-colors GIFs lately (grayscale). Nice and
small, easy to handle, all modern web browsers and mail clients can read
'em. Easy to make w/Paint Shop Pro.
