fax security

[edit]

Fax communications cannot be hacked,

OK, that is an absurd statement. How about something more reasonable. Such as, "less susceptible" to interception. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.153.24.120 (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fax Machines Adoption Figures

[edit]

Now that telephone Fax is only a topic of historical interest, this article could do with some adoption figures in the European and North American market. At what point did Fax machines become common-place, reach saturation, peak use, and then fall from favour. My guess would be (for most ordinary folk) mid 1970's, it was a pretty exotic piece of equipment (taking over from Telex). Early 1980's started to become more common place. Late 1980's mainstream. 1990's peaked and started decline in mid 2000's. Telephone Faxing is one of those things (like the cathode ray tube) that have passed, forgotten and somewhat unnoticed into recent history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.109.73 (talk) 04:01, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gvt. agencies loves them. This technology is (still) alive due to culture and legal reasons. 2A01:799:322:B300:F98:C698:3C31:E61A (talk) 20:03, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
