can communicate over the Internet with the rest of the world and can do it very cheaply. When they send e-mail messages, they only have to pay for phone calls to their local service providers, not for calls across their countries or around the world. But who accually pays for sending e-mail messages over the Internet long distances, around the world? The answer is very simple: an user pays his/her service provider a monthly or hourly fee. Part of this fee goes towards its costs to connect to a larger service provider. And part of the fee got by the larger provider goes to cover its cost of running a worldwide network of wires and wireless stations.
The fax or facsimile means the exact copy or reproduction. Faxing is a means of telecommunication that has developed very quickly over the recent time. It is connected to a telephone socket and works as a system similar to the telephone. Charges are measured in telephone units and therefore vary according to the time and distance.
The advantage of fax is an instant reception of many documents, the disadvantage is that it can't transmit original documents, but only their photocopies.
The structure and presentation of a faxed letter is much the same as that of an ordinary letter.

FROM _____________A. Reynolds
SUBJECT___________Electric Furnace
DATE______________ 11/09/97
No. of PAGES. ______ 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are pleased to hear that the situation on the furnace has begun to stabilize – does this mean that the quality is improving? If possible, please could you provide more data on the operational condition of the furnace and the percentage of reject tube on both lines?
We will be interested to hear the results of samples taken from the furnace bottom drain. Some poor quality glass is normal from this position when first draining – but it should clear very quickly. When there are concerns regarding glass quality it is good practice to drain from this position for about 5 minutes each day – to remove any possible contamination or dirt from the bottom of the melting chamber.
Please can you confirm that you received our fax of 07/09/97 from Mr. Andrew Reynolds, and if so, advise us on the points/questions raised therein regarding the electric furnace.
We would be grateful also, if you can confirm that payment has been arranged as promised in your last fax and as per the final Protocol. Further delays in this payment will cause us severe difficulties. If possible, please fax to us reference details of the appropriate bank transfer so that we can follow it from the UK side.
Best regards,
for PENELECTRO LIMITED
M. C. Reynolds
General Director.
The electronic mail (e-mail) was started in the late 60s by the U. S. military that were searching for a way of communication in the event of a large-scale nuclear war. They needed a system that would be decentralized, reliable, and fast in case the central institutions were destroyed. They came up with e-mail.
In the early 70s, e-mail was limited to the U. S. military, defence contractors, and universities doing defence research. By the 70s it had begun to spread more broadly within university communities. By the 80s, academies in a number of fields were using e-mail for professional collaboration. The 90s saw an explosion of the use of e-mail and other computing networking. It is estimated that more than 25 million people throughout the world were using it in the mid-90s.
E-mail is a way of sending a message from one computer to one or more other computers around the world. A subscriber to e-mail needs a terminal, such as a PC, a telephone line, and a modem, which is a device of converting signals into text. E-mail users must also have access to a mailbox, which they can call from anywhere in the world to retrieve messages. They receive a mailbox number and a password for confidentiality. E-mail is fast, cheap, and relatively reliable. It permits to send large amounts of information to different addressees and allows people to retrieve messages at any time.
A typical e-mail address is: direct@askbooks. kiev. ua (the e-mail address of the A. S. K. Publishers House). The part to the left of the @ sign, called userid has been chosen as a personal handle. The part to the right is called the domain
