Welcome to FAXEM FAXEM will automatically set up an account for you. Using FAXEM you may FAX any ASCII document to a local FAX machine, FREE! If you wish to FAX long distance, you must apply for Long Distance access. A minimum pre-payment of $10.00 will establish Long Distance access with 5 credits. A "credit" is a page. The door automatically keeps track of your credits, and will not allow you to fax long distance if you run out. Should you exceed your prepaid page limit, the door will suspend your FAXing privileges until you pay your outstanding balance. Overdue accounts will find their BBS access adjusted. FAXEM can Fax standard ASCII files, like those created with a text editor like Qedit. If you are using a wordprocessor, you should save your file in ASCII format. FAXEM sends a short covering letter, indicating who the Fax should be delivered to, who the Fax is from, and today's date. This does count as a page that can be charged against you if you do Long Distance faxing. The steps involved to send a FAX are: 1) Upload the file you wish to be FAXed. This file must be in ASCII format. 2) Enter a phone number where you wish to send the fax. ****************** I M P O R T A N T ******************* 3) Leave the SysOp a Comment or Message in the Main Board that you have a FAX request pending. Please be PATIENT! Once the SysOp has recieved your message you will be advised, in a return message that your FAX has been successfully transmitted. Your account is automatically updated when your file is uploaded. Your file will be deleted after it is sent. At this point, you are back in the door and may upload another file to FAX or Quit back to the BBS. I hope you'll enjoy this new service.
