- dealing with attachments (no high quality images via fax)
- attachment filetype (speed negotiation)
- clean paper underflowing
- fax machine runs out of memory and rejects a too large fax without confirmation on the other side
- phone line administration
- takes a phone line / number
- spam (also exists via fax)
- spam false positives (if you have enough people in the office, someone will file your message into the bin by accident one day)
- if you really really care, you can actually call the recipient of your email, which will work the same way the fax does
- recipient must print the fax even if it's spam, one sentence, or something that has to be typed in again and forwarded by email
Both emails and faxes "just work" most of the time. They're really quite similar after all.
