A lot of contracts require that a contractual notice must be given in a certain a way for example by courier or registerd post- typically, even in modern contracts, fax numbers are given for notices and email is expressly excluded.
Lawyers like to use faxes because it generates a transmission report which is good evidence that the notice has been sent and recieved. We like to exclude email because people get so much trash email that it is easy to miss something important.

- The first facsimile (FAX) system was invented in 1842.
- Alexander Bain, a Scottish physicist and clockmaker, invented the fax.
- The first rudimentary facsimile system consisted of swinging a pendulum over metallic type. Contact with the type caused an electric current to flow over wires to a distant swinging pendulum synchronized with the first. Chemically treated paper was positioned under the pendulum, and produced a brown image when the current passed from the pendulum to the paper.
- The first fax system was too costly and complicated to gain any widespread popularity, especially after the emergence of the telegraph.
- In 1870, revolving drums and special scanning techniques added to the earlier fax system revived interest in fax development.
- The first photograph was transmitted via fax in 1904 by American inventor, Arthur Korn.
- By 1910 newspapers in Berlin, London and Paris were exchanging photographs via fax by utilizing radio waves.
- AT&T established the first fax cable system between New York and London in 1924.

- Magnavox manufactured and Xerox marketed the first commercial fax machine in 1966.
- No fax machines are manufactured in the United States today. Most are manufactured in Japan, Korea and China. .
- Fax machines could not be connected to public telephone lines until 1968, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled they could be.
- There were only about 30,000 fax machines in the United States in l970. Today there are over 18 million.
- A richly featured fax machine sold for as much as $20,000 in l982. Today, a fax machine with many more features and using plain paper sells for under $1,000.
- Plain paper fax machines use one of three different print mediums--ink, film or toner. Which is best for a particular business depends on volume and content of incoming faxes.
- Small telephones with fax capability are on the market today. The fax industry predicts every home will have one soon.
- The fax machine has evolved into a multifunction machine connected to the computer network in most offices today. It can copy, print, and scan as well as fax.
