If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Just a random thought. I just faxed a two-page document to Hong Kong. Thankfully, it was on the company dime, but I can only imagine what it cost.
It took me a while to figure out how to dial it properly. When I did it the first time, I dialed it wrong. I quietly heard screaming in a foreign language on the other end after they heard the fax tone coming from my end. Needless to say, I got it right the 2nd time.
