Sound like a nightmare. I thought only Japan were still using fax.

Fax is used a lot by lawyers because you get a paper which says the message has been received. This paper is accepted at court. It provides this much cheaper and faster than the Post office. No electronic mechanism does this. At least nothing widely adopted.
