Why do so many people in this industry have fucked up.....

...Fax machines?

I've tried sending 17 faxes over the last week or so and only 4 of them went through.

Strangely enough, The 4 that went through were all Canadian companies and the other 13 we US.

Go figure.

Aaron. Man am I glad to see that you are over your heart attack, and cured of being dead.

And I know the feeling about the fax. Wait until you have to try to fax to mexico.

I might expect that in Mexico but not one single US company that I attempted to fax to this last week has had a decent fax machine or connection.

And I'm not talking about somebody running a business out of a shed in their back yard. Very large and successful companies for the most part.

Nothing but the fax, ma'am

Fax machines. How quaint. I thought people nowadays just scanned stuff and attached it to e-mail.

Seriously, what do you use fax machines for?

Business associate told this company to stop FAXing him, take him off their list. They didn't and kept sending. So he looped the paper, "take me off your fax list!" and began the send mode after the company had closed for the night. Next morning the receiver's machine was out of paper and they had about two hundred feed of message on their floor, "take me off your fax list.!"

They called him, apologised and immediately removed him from their list! Point was made.

Faxing - yet another way to get spammed in a day! It's really amazing. At least with junk email it doesn't use up my paper!

I've learned to love e-faxes - clean, neat and quiet!

Don't feel bad, I tried to fax papers to my attorney (this is a law firm in a penthouse, not just any guy who just graduated from college), and their fax machine did work. So I called their secretary who told me that until the afternoon it wouldn't work (waitingon the tech). So she gave me the number to their other office.
I faxed the papers there, and same story!
The freaking fax didn't work there either.
WTF? Is $39 for a backup fax machine to much too ask, from an attorney who is charging my wife 7K to fix some paperwork?

I often leave my fax unplugged because of the sheer volume of the fax spam I get. If someone really needs to get something to me, they'll call me first. If its unsolicited, chances are I don't want their fax...

I know it's hard for people to believe that their fax machine is not working correctly. In one office I was at, our fax needed a BIOS update...and it took 2 months of not getting faxes for anybody to take me seriously when I said our fax wasn't receiving.

Ah.....I guess that would explain why it works internationally and not locally.


Yes, I considered that. So I actually took it in and exchanged it since it was a fairly new machine.

Same results.

Even tried using it on a different phone line instead of Vonage.

Same thing.

Yet...again....The Vonage line faxing to Canada worked just fine.

I'm gonna have to chalk it up to Canadians being smarter than the average American.
