Anyone can walk by and pick up the fax that is sent.
And they're charged with keeping them secure according to law. Don't think the fax machines are just sitting out in the lobby.

Hey bud, cancel in 25 days so you don't get charged.

I always liked how the movie Back to the Future 2, predicted personal fax machines everywhere.
Email and texting just weren't on many people's minds.
(even though the tech existed in 1989)

Theoretically for security. But with lots of faxes being online/email based now it's retarded.
Online faxing still are actually faxed though the public switched telephone network. That is why they look like a fax and not just like a PDF or whatever was attached when transmitted and are often in tiff format or some other viewer format when received.

Well, I could if I could access you switch box.
Oddly I have two ATT boxes in my backyard. One in each corner about 150' apart.
If I knew how I could spy on my neighbors.

I cant stop laughing at the person who thinks fax machines are more secure than email.

It is not hard to tap the copper lines. Not to mention most users, do not give two shits about physical security.

When's the last time you went to the western union to send a telegraph?

Fax machines are an ancient outdated technology that can be replaced by items most of us carry in our pockets. That's what years do for it.

In order to get paid on doing an insurance job for windshields, depending on the insurance company, I have to send in my stuff via fax. It sucks
