        FAXMAIL(L)        Programmer's Reference Manual        FAXMAIL(L)

        NAME
             faxmail - How to send electronic mail to a FAX machine

        DESCRIPTION
             You can now send electronic mail to FAX machines. 

	     The mail address for doing so is "name@fax", where "name"
	     is the name of the recipient.  Include the telephone
	     number in square brackets in the Subject line of the
	     message.  Note that the name cannot contain spaces; use
	     underscores, periods, or dashes instead.

	     The telephone number must be exactly what you would dial
	     from a campus telephone to reach the same number.  The
	     tele- phone used to make the call will not make off-campus
	     calls, even local ones, without an Ericsson ID number.
	     You must include your Ericsson ID number for all off-campus
	     calls rather than only for long distance calls.

             [nnnnn]
                  FAX machine is on-campus.  Nnnnn is the five digit
                  campus extension; e.g., 54321

             [*6*1iiiii#8nnnnnnn]
                  FAX machine is in the local dialing area.  Iiiii is
                  your five digit Ericsson ID number and nnnnnnn is the
                  seven digit telephone number; e.g.,
                  *6*112345#82891212

             [*6*1iiiii#8aaannnnnnn]
                  FAX machine can only be reached with a long distance
                  call.  Iiiii is your five digit Ericsson ID number, aaa
                  is the area code, and nnnnnnn is the seven digit tele-
                  phone number; e.g., *6*112345#89005551212

        ID NUMBER VISIBILITY
                  mail John_Q_Adams@fax
                  Subject: Urgent Fax message [*6*112345#88531212]

	     The 'phony' address "full_name@fax" will get the mail to
	     the computer that handles FAX messages.  That computer
	     will take the number from the "Subject:" line and send the
	     message.  The phone number will not appear in the outbound
	     mail log files.  The dialing authorization code (between
	     the *6*1 and #8) will be elided from the subject line.

	     The name will appear in the header of the fax at
	     the receiving location and should help in getting your
	     message to the right person.

             Only a single telephone number may be given on the
	     "Subject:" line.

        NOTES
	     The equipment that sends the FAX message only processes
	     queued messages at 10 minutes intervals, so there may be
	     some small time before your message is received.

	     Messages are limited to about 1,000 lines of text.

	     Only plain text is supported; images won't go.

             This service is an experiment by Network Operations.  It is
	     free (except for the cost of the telephone call, which is
	     charged to your dialing authorization number by the campus
	     phone system), and NetOp is not funded to support it. 
	     Therefore service is not guaranteed.

	BUGS
	     The software that does the conversion and fax sending is a
	     commercial PC-based product and does not have very good
	     error recovery.  It will cope with a BUSY signal from the
	     destination by retrying delivery later, but nearly any
	     other delivery problem will result in "Communication
	     failure" and the message being returned to you.  If you get
	     one of these, recheck that the number you have specified is
	     a valid FAX number and that the authorization code is good.

	     This equipment often fails when sending to recipients
	     whose FAX machine shares a line with a voice answering
	     machine or modem.
