a plain fax machine couldn't, but a multifunction device could.  Any
device that supports "internet fax" can be made to work with hylafax.

as for "why have fax at all", here it's primarily for signatures and
scanning and emailing is too complex for "basic users", and not
everyone has a scanner but most everyone has access to a fax machine,
even if it is at a copy shop.
