My guess: if your customers want to send you faxes, then you set up to
receive faxes.

And people who aggravate their customers end up needlessly broke. :)

Though, e-mails are good alternative, but these I think, will not
replace real FAX or e-FAX messages in the near future, which also carry
an authenticity unless the mailers know how to digitally sign and accept
signed and, or encrypted e-mails.

I had been having hard time, teaching people OTR
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-Record_Messaging for chat and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy PGP/GNUPG for e-mails
since long.

ISTR (been years now for me) faxes were (are, still?) legally required for
some US business transactions. I agree it's archaic, but IMO, so are jokes
like software patents.

That is widely believed but I know of no examples of such a requirement.

I think the fact that it is widely believed is what keeps the fax alive.
