Not exactly @natanteam - this is a teletypewriter/telex, only capable transmitting characters. In the past these were operating on a distinct telecommunication network. In comparison, fax devices were designed to transmit graphical images, so anything could be faxed as long as it was printable/scannable. Also, faxes were operated on the same wired telephone system we used to use before mobile phones. The heydays of teletypewriters were after the II. world war till the late 1980-ies. Nowadays only a handful of collectors/enthusiast like me are operating these devices over a bespoke telex-over-internet network called i-telex. The following page gives a good summary of the telex: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telex More info about i-telex can be found on www.i-telex.net/
