faxes
Sends via landline
Faxes are documents sent electronically over telephone lines, reproduced as paper copies at the receiving end.
The technology dominated business communication in the 1980s and 1990s before email largely displaced it, though faxes persist in medicine, law, and government where signatures matter.
As a verb, faxes is the third-person singular: She faxes the contract to the lawyer.
