I don't know if faxes are ready to go, but I did ask our office to get us scanners that are small. you just plug into tablet or small laptop and run the page through it. About 2 months ago we got State funds for Adult Protective Service dept, not the rest of the money but still don't have go ahead go use it. Banning them, seems drastic, but giving other options. I did take picture and emailed it before.
I can also take a picture and text it to.someones email, but it doesn't encrypt it.
