Bigger businesses seemed to not need this kind of faxing since they
prefer actual fax machines for high use, so Apple and others let it die
out. Now about the only products are all-in-one machines. Copiers, but
they can be VERY expensive. The cheaper all-in-one ink-jet printers
aren't made for Macs at all and don't work well for Windows anyway. (I
