Yes, at least one person in Holland does. With regard to the fax, I think it is wise to have at least some method of proof of human intervention. If you cannot send/receive faxes, I suggest you buy a fax machine in stead of going the route you suggested.
Just for this ? No. Apart from sales people asking for fax numbers, we have had no need to replace the broken machine (and cancelled the line) ages ago.
With regard to the proposal. I do not think it is nessecary to push manhours against other forms of authentication/signup than those already in place. I find it amazing (and somewhat ironic) that you are suggesting that the folks at NCC should invest time in these types of "nobody wants them anyway" features.
No, what I want is there to always be a fallback and never ever a "twisty little maze of passages, all different" when dealing with RIPE. BTW If the fax system is automated, how does it help to verify someones ID ? Why can't a verification "page" be sent with or on the paper invoices for membership ? Peter
