Fax was stupid tech 15 - 20 years ago. Transmitting bits instead of data? Are you nuts?
I'm intrigued... What is the difference between bits and data? You do realize it's all the same, right? Fax machines are just as digital as a workstation, they just interface over an analogue telephone network.
Perhaps the GP meant "bits" as rasterized image data versus "data" being the character-based document.
