In the far past, the fax machine was a service operated like a telegram service - fax services had dedicated stations to send and receive images.
In the 1960s, the first "commercial" fax machines emerged. These went from big bulky units that needed to be hardwired in (most people installing or even demonstrating a fax had to physically wire in a phone line - phone jacks weren't common even then). Through the 80s and 90s the fax was the cornerstone of business, the email of the day.
