As recently as 2012 I was involved in a commercial aviation project where one of the external system interfaces was a telex system for meal orders. We had to format the outgoing requests accordingly and accept responses, but actual transmission was handled by a IP2Telex bridge elsewhere on the network.
I have no idea how things looked at the other end. Perhaps it was all a sequence of bridges, with no real telex anywhere on the path.

EDI orders don't qualify for this protection in these countries but "faxes" do. However IP lines don't officially support fax anymore, and it's hard to get analog lines these days. So virtual fax became a thing.
