TEL-LINK DESIGNATED NEW PUBLIC VAX AGENCY

Tel-Link of Cape Girardeau has been designated as a Public Fax International local agency.

Public Fax, headquartered at Irvine, Calif., is a 7,000-member nationwide fax service.

As a new agency for Public Fax, Tel-Link can offer more than just a "fax-to-fax" service. Local businesses and residents can use the network to send fax mail to people who are without fax machines of their own.

When a sender wants to fax something to someone who is not fax-equipped, the recipient is directed to a nearby Public Fax network location to pick up the urgent material.

Another service offered is the provision of a free fax number.

Without requirement of guaranteed usage, Tel-Link of Cape Girardeau will allow area people to use its local fax number as their own. Users can issue the number to would-be fax senders or even print it on their business cards and stationery.

There is a small per-page charge for materials received.

Tel-Link makes immediate telephone calls to advise local users of the fax mail that has arrived and then keeps is confidentially in a personal folder until it is picked up.

Tel-Link can also offer the capability of sending pictures and photographs and having mail faxed for international delivery via INTELPOST.
