I'm pretty sure fat_boy counts for 200 of those.

Your link goes to "Top 10 KISS songs". Either you've got the wrong link, or this is a new version of Rick-rolling.

I have to get off my arse and wander down a corridor to pick up a piece of paper that could easily have been scanned and emailed.

That is terrible. They should send an Ethiopian Celebrity over here to make a video which they could then show back home to raise money for you.

That is cool.  for your comment
Any recommendations on sites (cheap is good, free is better)?

Well, I'd try to find a company that is doing that in the country where you live so that you can either redirect your current fax number to a number of the company without to much additional costs or that the number you rent (if they offer such a possibility) is a number that isn't making it overly expensive for those who want to send a fax to you. 
But I don't think you'll find one for free as you need phone capacity to handle multiple connections and the infrastructure to handle those. (and believe me: hardware to handle multiple faxes at the same time can easily cost multiple 10'000$)

Wow.
Thanks for the info, you probably have narrowed my search a lot.
That should make it way easier to find something (or not find anything  ).

I'm not getting it. When you receive a fax to your PC, why would you print it out? What makes a fax different from a PDF file?
(Oh, so you don't have the phone line connected to your PC? Well, why not? I set that up more than 20 years ago at home. At work, faxes are picked up by the PABX and sent to us as an email enclosure, but that wasn't set up until later, more like ten years ago.)

There was a reason faxes were going to live on even though no-one understands why.
Can't remember what it was though.
All we got on ours at work are spam.
In other 'struggling to adapt to technology' news. Any email received from our customers gets printed off, scanned, the image converted to PDF and then attached to the customer account.

In the 21st Century faxes go into the e-mail system as pdf's and get sent to admin to deal with.

As Glenn as already pointed out, for the legal profession, a fax is considered to be the equivalent of an original, but not so e-mails. I suspect that has more to do with technology outpacing regulations than people not believing an e-mail has not been tampered with before being ultimately received.
And, yes, it is possible to have a fax received and put into an e-mail document as a PDF, but that doesn't necessarily mean every law office has the time, money or desire to implement that solution.
For them, a fax works, so why change it?

Considering Outlook lets you save back edited attachments into the original e-mail, I wouldn't assume than an e-mailed attachment hadn't been modified.

Is it a plain paper fax or one that uses thermal paper that fades over time?
