AutoMail is ADP's computer-based message system which provides
fast, efficient communications between individual electronic
mailboxes. You can access your mailbox anywhere in the U.S. via
Autonet. In other countries, you can access your mailbox through
any International Record Carrier/Autonet link.
AutoMail supports a wide variety of electronic mail applications
including status reporting, library requests, document reviews,
suggestions boxes, scheduling, and general purpose communica-
tions.
Benefits
The AutoMail service can provide these benefits to your organiza-
tion:
o Reduce your paperwork load. Your incoming mail is
automatically summarized so you can decide what to read
first.
o Handle your mail more efficiently. Read your message, then
use AutoMail features to forward or file them, or to send
your responses.
o Encourage timely communication. It is easy to send AutoMail
messages since you use a simple dialog to create them.
o Disseminate important information rapidly to large groups of
individuals. Use AutoMail address lists to make sure that the
information goes to the right people. Verifications tell you
exactly when each copy is delivered.
o Save people's time, make your staff more efficient. AutoMail
messages are available to their recipients as soon as you
send them.
o Eliminate repeated attempts to reach someone by telephone.
You'll enjoy longer blocks of time without phone interrup-
tions.
o Take your mailbox with you when you travel. Portable ter-
minals make it simple to file reports when you're on the
road. Your electronic files travel with you, too.
o Get more value out of existing terminals, communicating word
processors, or communicating microcomputers. AutoMail can be
accessed by a wide range of devices.
Each subscribing organization controls and maintains its own
separate directory of mailboxes. The AutoMail administrative
package enables you to establish mailboxes and to assign names
and privileges to them.
The AutoMail service provides essential electronic mail functions
which allow you to:
o Obtain information about users in your directory.
o Send messages to any number of mailboxes.
o Receive messages wherever, whenever you want.
o Forward messages after you receive them.
o Automatically address responses.
o Edit message contents and recipient lists.
o Verify who has received your message - and who hasn't.
o Send coauthored messages with password protection for each
author.
o Ensure message security and credibility. Every message is
automatically stamped with its author, recipient list, and
dates sent and received. If you edit a message, you
automatically become its author.

centrally-defined group.

secretary) at your locations can easily obtain copies of all in-
coming messages, under one password control. Incoming messages
are sorted for easy distribution.

municate with any Telex or TWX location in the world. ON-LINE

you.
The AutoMail service is easy to learn because it speaks your
language. You say CREATE to create a message, SEND to send it.

need, whether you are a new user or an expert.
Security
Since your own organization maintains a separate directory, you
are guaranteed a high level of control and security. You define
which mailboxes may access restricted information. Your own
AutoMail administrator has control over all of the AutoMail
capabilities your organization uses, so you can change your
directory whenever you need to, without contacting ADP. Security
and confidentiality of your messages is always protected by a
secret password.

INTERNATL: INFO
ADP Autonet supports access to U.S.-based host computers from
more than 55 international centers. Access is available through
direct connections with international record carriers (IRCs) or
through interconnections with third party networks.
Users can arrange access to Autonet from these countries by
establishing an account with the responsible agency in the
country of interest. A service representative will be able to
provide complete information regarding subscriptions, invoicing,
and general business operations.
The administration of foreign communications services varies from
country to country; therefore, service offerings, ordering and
access procedures, rates, and billing methods for each country
may be different. Generally, each country provides local service
through its own network, managed by an agency such as the Postal
and Telephone-Telegraph (PTT) administration.
To obtain a complete list of countries from which you can access
Autonet, use the option INTERNATL. Then, type NATION and use the
HELP command. A list will be printed for you.
International Access Procedures
Typically, international network access procedures involve enter-
ing a 14-digit international data number at the beginning of each
terminal session. This number identifies the host to which the
user wants to establish a virtual connection. The international
data number is formatted as follows:
AAAABBBCCCCDDD
where:
AAAA = 3126 (Autonet's data network identification code)
BBB = Area code of host location
CCCC = Network address of host
DDD = Network sub-address of host
This procedure may vary, depending on the access methods of the
particular country. The local PTT in each country will provide
you with complete instructions when you have arranged an account
with them.
