Anonymous carried out a Fax DDoS back in December which is a pretty hilarious modern twist for the poor fax machine.

Another piece of useless (and possibly wrong) information. I read/heard somewhere that the fax pre-dates the telephone. Some Frenchman set up a long distance image sending system using the telegraph lines before Bell invented his telephone.
