Can't believe we still use fax in 2021. Instead of migrating it away for our customers, we virtualize it.

Instead of the old ISDN fax cards we will use virtual serial fax modems. 🙃

Found the german! We still support fax too, it's insane.

Yep, fax is still a thing.

Damn! Even the Bundestag got rid of fax!

I'm so glad I don't have to support that

@eo2875 It isn't that bad. The faxserver mostly behaves like a mail server (used the same software in the past). I just don't know how the "virtual serial modem" will turn out.

And as fax (software) didn't change much the last 15 years, the most bugs should have already been patched and there's a lot of documentation.
That said, I would still prefer finally turning it off.

Zero fax shall be given up on

Had to send a fax to my kids school for some shit, I don't remember what.

Downloaded Snapfax and sent them the PDF... via fax through that service.

"We didn't get the fax."

Send them a screenshot of my confirmation from Snapfax, asking if I should seek a refund from Snapfax.

"Oh, there it is."

I think Fax only still exists so people can pretend they didn't receive things.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Snapfax and maybe there are better cheaper/free alternatives, but it worked for me for like a couple bucks and I like that there's a confirmation trail.

Meine fresse. I always get scared when theres a sudden weird screeching sound throughout the house.
Then I tend to notice it's not a demon, but in fact a fax.
