I have a very low cost standalone fax machine for those times when I 
want to fax a newspaper clipping or some other non-computer-generated 
piece of paper. I rarely use it for incoming faxes (it's not even on 
its own line anymore), preferring to use the free eFax service and 
receive incoming faxes via email from wherever I am.

I don't use a scanner regularly, so the standalone machine works for me.
