Telex, that thing that the fax replaced. That required a number of years to die off after faxes became populer. It was fast, it could almost keep up with a fast typest.
The two big things that telex had over a fax is that 1. A telex message was a legel document a copy of the telex message was keeped a both ends. 2. A telex would work here faxes could not (bad phone systems, old exchanges, ship to shore)
