While we’re adding antiquated and shitty ways to interface with your agent, can we add fax support? Maybe direct-to-mail service for postcards and flyers?

This has been possible for many years, before agents were a thing. They will open the mail and scan the contents into a pdf for you, requires filing a form with the post office. It gets expensive because they nickel and dime you where they can. There are many more services should you wish to send snail mail.

As an aside, this company's services seem incredibly sketchy - they let you have fake residential or commercial addresses so you can pretend to have a US office or other address
It's nice for remote companies or contractors so you don't have to use your home address. I'm sure there are sketchy companies in this niche, this was one of the top search results in 2026, not the one I used when I did this.
I knew I hung onto that C64 cassette player for a reason! Beyond the new Sturgill album, I mean.
Can we go minidisc if we're going for obsolete tech?
