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. -Michael From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Chris Ferreira Sent: Monday, July 09, 2012 8:31 PM To: FreeSWITCH Users Help Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] FaxxBochs hackers? 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. ___________________ Mobile Reply On Jul 9, 2012, at 10:09 PM, Michael Giagnocavo <mgg@giagnocavo.net<mailto:mgg@giagnocavo.net>> wrote: Faxes carry legal standing that email does not. So, you can want a better solution, but the reality is that fax won't disappear soon.

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. ___________________ Mobile Reply On Jul 9, 2012, at 7:07 PM, BookBag <asaad2@gmail.com<mailto:asaad2@gmail.com>> wrote: You know if I told my boss that all fax machines were 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. ___________________ Mobile Reply On Jul 9, 2012, at 12:58 PM, Gabriel Gunderson <gabe@gundy.org<mailto:gabe@gundy.org>> wrote:

Has anyone investigated the new FaxxBochs offering? It appears to handle the analog fax machine locally, then send the fax as a data TCP connection to the server (as a TIFF or JPG I would guess).
Given how it works, they should have named it FauxBochs.
