INTRO-
In the late 80's we have seen a massive explosion in the popularity of fax
machines. Everyone has one. They are cheap, easy to use, and very usefull. Up
untill now, however, they have been almost exclusivly in the province of the buisness
world
Just for those of you who have been in comas for the last few years, I'll explain
fax machines to you.
Fax machines are combination scanners/modems/printers. You can transmit the
contents of a piece of paper to another fax over the phone lines. Usually, your fax
also prints the number you called from on the first sheet of the transmittal. It is
e
asy to see why buisnesses like these. No longer content with Federal Express, now
letters can go cross country in minutes. Faxes have about 200-250 dpi resolution,
and print out on rolls of thermal paper. For some odd reason, most of them are 4800
baud
