Abstract

See full text

A facsimile system integrated with both standard facsimile functions and Internet facsimile functions includes a server apparatus (22) for receiving an incoming call from a PSTN through a DID trunk (30) or the Internet via LAN (20) and router (26), and which detects an address signal and corresponding message. The server apparatus (22) stores the message, receives a request for the message, retrieves the message, and provides at least a portion of the message to a specific recipient (12a, 12b, 14a, 14b, or 34). A connected standard facsimile machine (12a or 12b) can send Internet facsimiles, adding additional information with the keypad of the facsimile machine to track billing or transaction information. A connected personal computer (14a, 14b, or 34) can send Internet and standard facsimiles by sending an e-mail with or without an attachment, receive incoming facsimile traffic, or remotely retrieve a received facsimile from a remote computer (34) with a web browser.
