一、概述 现已迅速发展起来的E-mail——电子邮件作为一种新的通讯手段,具有其他几种通讯方式如电话、电传等不具备的优点,但是电子邮件还不能完全取代它们,特别是现在,并不是世界每一个角落都可以收发电子邮件,即使是在发达国家,由于种种原因,一个地区或单位、公司仍沿用传统的通讯工具——电话和传真机。把计算机和传真机连接起来,在它们之间进行信息交换,这是一个大胆却并不过分的设想。 I. Overview Now that the rapid development of E-mail - as a new means of communication e-mail, with several other means of communication such as telephone, fax and other advantages not available, but e-mail can not completely replace them, Especially now, not every corner of the world can send and receive e-mail, even in developed countries, due to various reasons, a region or unit, the company still use the traditional communication tools - telephone and fax machines. Connecting a computer to a fax machine and exchanging information between them is a bold but not excessive assumption.
