Looking for Convenient Faxing Solutions?

[Mirna Zinaida]

Hey everyone

I’ve been using USPS for faxing my documents, but it can be a hassle to always go to the post office. Does anyone know of any reliable online services that complement USPS for sending faxes? I’d love something easy and efficient.

Faxes? Welcome to 1990

Faxes, a real trip down memory lane for me. From 1991 - 2009ish I used to repair them, everything from simple cleaning to software/firmware upgrades, changing rollers, thermal heads, repairing/replacing PCB's when components were of a size you could actually see and not specks of dust masquerading as a resistor or a capacitor! The early ones were purely large business machines, heavy, extremely well made and costing anything from £2k upwards. When "group 4" machines came out using ISDN lines (the forerunner to broadband) they were around the £6k mark. Eventually they became more popular and affordable and you could have a fax/phone at home for around £100.
As faxes killed off telex, IT and the ability to scan and send large documents quickly over the internet has made faxes largely redundant.
