On linux you can use [efax](https://linux.die.net/man/1/efax https://linux.die.net/man/1/efax) and a modem and... ooops, good luck finding a modem.
I did this for real ~10 years ago when a stupid company didn't accept a scanned PDF by email and required a fax of the actual document "because security". The difference is that I had a modem in an old laptop at that time, so I just send them the same scanned PDF.
Now I'm wondering if there is a provision for sending faxes somewhere in the GSM/3G/4G rabbit hole of standards.
- unilynx 6y agoI’m not sure if it required anything from the network, but my Siemens C35 could send faxes
- freeone3000 6y agoGSM yes, but once phones went digital that capability was lost.
- gumby 6y agoGSM phones are digital and include a special FAX mode.
