Fax is faster than email and arrives, while email delivery to a 
recipient can not

been guranteed. Secondly it is more dezentralised than smpt(s) servers with

many users. Third assuming households have muli-purpose printers too

they can simply scan the Fax for further processing.

Why not, this product is available and does not limit Internet users to 
do other things

besides encrypted Fax usage.

No, Signal is an easy to monitor smartphone tool needing a server with 
registered users, while

PGPfone was a Computer usage only tool, for direct and secure comms, 
between two endpoints,

without server usage. Dialing was done from IP address to IP address and 
verified with the included

PGP wordlist.
