There are two ways to use the Remote Printing service, and the WWW form (below) is one of them. The more versatile way involves sending email to a correctly formatted e-mail address (the WWW page does it all transparently), and allows you to include files which contain much more formatting than just the plain ASCII text you can send here. For further information go to HELP or contact Mr. Arlington Hewes

An experiment started in June 1993 now makes it possible to send free faxes to many different parts of the world through internet e-mail. The recipient name and faxnumber is converted into an e-mail address within the remote printing domain, tpc.int, and the e-mail message is routed via the internet to a computer near the destination. This, in turn, converts the e-mail message to a fax and transmits it through the local telephone network to the recipient's fax machine. Coverage is still somewhat limited, but is rapidly expanding.
