Send memos, documents, or anything in the paper form that can be scanned and then sent to an accepting fax machine (using the phone number). The documents that were scanned will be transmitted to the fax machine that you are intending it to go to (assuming you put in the correct phone number), thus allowing for speedy delivery and elimination of "snail" mail.
