Yes, faxing is great fun! But it's true, if you're working for someone you can recommend better ways, but if a client says 'I want fax' and you say 'no', kiss that sale goodbye. I'd rather support faxing (which freeswitch makes pretty simple) than lose out on all the money!
Besides, fax is fun, right?

Sure, and I wholeheartedly agree. But none of these arguments are compelling to users, and making them just means you’ll lose a sale. It’s unlikely a large fax customer is going to say “Wow, you know, I now realize faxes are just ancient relics, and we’re going to ditch them.” By not enabling faxes, you only end up harming the customer.

There are more modern ways of legally transmitting documents. Signed and all. I have several clients that are practicing lawyers in multiple states and my own brother has a law firm.
These are simply excuses. My point is that there ARE better ways. We just keep enabling a poor, old, and broken technology.

I disagree. The job of any telecom or IT professional is to also educate and circulate out antiquated equipment.
I don't know why we still accept the use of faxes when things like typewriters have pretty much been eliminated.

I think it would be wonderful if all VoIP admins and providers
collectively told the people needing fax service that it has been
completely phased out.
I think it would be great if stores stopped selling fax machines and
all remaining fax machines were recycled.
The only reason faxing still exists is because of the few people that
refuse to let it die.
