Back in the 90's I worked at a small PC manufacturing/Cobol coding company (6-7 employees). The site had a fax server on the network. You could print from MS Word directly to the fax server, using a preset destination fax number.

Once in a while, the owner would call up and have me order mocha's for everyone. I'd pull up the order doc and print it. It got faxed to the espresso shop and 15 minutes later, hot mochas got delivered.
