  • I don’t get people defending fax machines for the input method.

    All of that can still be built with modern technology. There is something like “Fax-to-email”, I’m sure the other way around is possible as well. Put PGP and TLS on there and boom! almost modern. No Dialup or Analog-almost-digital datastream required.

    The input method can still be the same. Have a device that simply scans a page, no compression, and then sends it away. It doesn’t have to be sound modulated over a wire. It can be an email or messenger. You can even make an identification per phone number.
