  What security reasons? Its just as easy to tap a PSTN line as it is to sniff a network connection, the only difference is you might need a little bit different hardware...

  If it were about security, fax machines would actually encrypt a fax but they don't...

    Real estator/law firm/accounting offices/travel agents...many of them still prefer fax for security reasons.
    I am always worried about sending my driver license pdf file via e-mail.

      That's why PDF's/XPS/tiff's have replaced fax completely. Not many
      people out there still do have a fax machine :)
