-
- FAX-DOOR will automatically set up an account for you. Using FAX-DOOR
- 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 expiry dates adjusted.
-
- FAX-DOOR 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.
-
- FAX-DOOR will create your own personal dialing directory of 10 entries
- to make your FAXing quicker. You may also enter a number of your choice
- without adding it to your personal dialing directory.
-
- FAX-DOOR 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 charged against you if you do Long Distance faxing. If
- you dialed a number from your Dialing Directory the TO: field will be
- automatically pulled from the directory entry. If you entered a manually
- entered number, you will be asked to input a name.
-
- 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) Call up the Dialing Directory and select a phone number from your
- personal directory or enter a new number.
-
- 3) FAX-DOOR will actually exit and send your Fax while you wait. Please
- be PATIENT! Once the Fax has completed its duties, you will be advised
- of the transfer status, your personal account will be updated, and any
- leftover files will be deleted. 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. Another feature for members of
- The Phantom BBS, providing the World at your fingertips!
