ABSTRACT:
At least a fax message is sent via a telephone system to a telephone receiving station. From that receiving station, the fax message is routed through a multinode computer network to a prespecified network location. A telephone call by which the fax message is transmitted is initiated by dialing a telephone number such as a DID number. Part of the telephone address signal is received at the receiving station and used to establish a connection to a network location such that a fax message may be sent to or from the network location. The network location may be a mailbox associated with an intended recipient. The DID receiver may initiate a call to a second receiver using a ringing signal with routing information communicated through a separate data link.
