I was dealing with a client the other day and they were trying to decide if they need to add a fax option to their MFP.  I asked them when the last time was that they got a fax or sent one?  The client said they could not remember when a fax was used.  When we discussed it further it was determined that the things they used to do with faxes they now do using scanning capability.
