I received a fax at work once, 10 years ago. The subcontractor has issues with their email so they call me to warn me they were faxing me the document I needed.

It took me a good 2 hours to finally locate the fax machine in the factory, no one had any idea that we still had a fax machine running.

I think you can send faxes to computers and they just get received as emails with attached PDFs. It's not great because of course it's just a picture of a document, so it's not searchable or editable unless you run it through an OCR program.
