Email to fax
This experimental project is currently under development by TPC where you also get more information.
Four important points:
1. Only some countries and cities are covered.
2. One has to get used to the special fax address format.
3. There is no guarantee that your fax reaches its destination.
4. Coverage changes all the time.

Example
You want to send a fax to Bob Harris at AIS in United Kingdom
with the fax number 123 456 7890.
You have to write an email with the following address in the "To:" line:
remote-printer.Bob_Harris/AIS@441234567890.iddd.tpc.int
This will send a fax to the UK number 123 456 7890 with the required
country code 44 for the UK at the beginning.
The coversheet output should look like this:
Please deliver to: Bob Harris AISThe message content of the email follows on separate pages of the
fax transmission.
When the transmission to the target fax machine is completed, an email
message will be sent back to you. If the message fail to be delivered
to your target destination, you should receive an appropriate failure
message within a few days.
Remember to put in the proper name and fax number for USER and FAXNUMBER in the "To:" line.
