The new service, available immediately, is part of CompuServe's commitment to providing industry-leading communications capabilities for its subscribers. The automatic system distinguishes between voice and fax messages received at this number. Incoming messages can then be viewed, printed and saved. Voice messages are played through the computer's speakers using free JFAX Audio Communicator software.
Users have the option to receive all voice mail and fax messages each time they check their e-mail.
JFAX Personal Telecom allows us to integrate fax and voice messages with CompuServe e-mail, adding convenience, privacy and value to the way our members communicate. Online services are used by businesses and consumers as an affordable way to be wired. Consumers also benefit by having access to technology that traditionally costs hundreds of dollars to help conduct their daily lives. With the addition of JFAX Personal Telecom to CompuServe's integrated communications services package, members can now receive voice mail, fax and e- mail, be notified via pager when it arrives, and log on to instantly receive the message. With the CompuServe Communications Card, members can hear their electronic mail over a touch tone phone and forward e-mail to a local fax machine.
