Believe it or not, there are industries where faxing is still the
norm.  Many industrial suppliers want purchase orders by fax.  It also
seems to be the common way that pharmacies communicate with doctors'
offices.  These are conservative industries where email (and
especially, email attachments) are still viewed with some suspicion.
A lot of times these days the actual endpoint is a digital fax system,
though; sometimes the fax never actually reaches paper.
