I've had companies want a fax of my military ID card. They wouldn't take a jpg. So I had to trudge
down to UPS to get the fax sent. Only $1, but a pain in the butt. An excuse for a motorcycle ride
though.

You can fax from your computer if it still has a modem in it. I
haven't seen a built in modem that did not have fax capabilities since
the 486 days.
The problem is POTS modems are starting to disappear in newer
machines.
XP has fax support in the basic load but it is a bit clunky to use.

I still have a W98 machine on my scanner that can fax.

I suppose I'd have to have a scanner though. I don't. My wife has a little portable she uses for her
scrapbooking, but I don't think my ID card would fold enough to get through the thing.
