MegaFax

Graphnet's MegaFax, the world's leading enhanced fax service, increases productivity and reduces costs with a solution-oriented approach to facsimile transmission. By taking advantage of Graphnet's international data network, MegaFax assures high quality, digital fax transmission worldwide -- without the errors and disconnects common to analog, voice-grade circuits.

Graphnet's MegaFax service provides:

• Wordwide fax with automatic broadcast, re-delivery, cover pages, delivery notification and accounting.
• Desktop faxing through conversion of standard print files into facsimile documents.
• Fax mailboxes, personal fax numbers, closed-user group fax exchanges.

MegaFax is acknowledged to be the largest, most feature-rich and reliable fax network in the world. Graphnet is also one of the largest facsimile service providers in the United States and Europe.

E-Mail and EDI

The same systems that are at the heart of Graphnet's facsimile and telex networks also offer a wide range of electronic mail features and services. GnetMAIL is a fully functional, international system that allows users to exchange messages and documents with clients and vendors, regardless of the sending or receiving computer platform. GnetMAIL also supports X.400 messaging, electronic data interchange and Internet access.

Graphnet's unified systems also allow simultaneous use of alternate delivery media. A single message may be delivered to an electronic mailbox, as a telex message, as a facsimile document or as a first class letter. Each of these media may be selected from a single electronic mail application or gateway.

Telex

Graphnet entered the telex industry in 1977, when the company became the first new International Records Carrier licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) since the agency's inception. Today, Graphnet offers interactive and store-and-forward telex services on four continents.

Beyond basic telex communications, Graphnet offers enhanced telex services, including: alternate destinations; automatic redial and redelivery; message confirmation and telex mailboxes. In addition, Graphnet's integrated services can automatically reroute undeliverable telex messages to fax or hardcopy mail.

PDN Services

Graphnet offers packet-switched, circuit-switched and frame relay services over its international data network, graphPAK. Applications include X.25 packet switching, LAN connectivity, international leased lines and general Public Data Network (PDN) services.

The graphPAK network is interconnected with major PDN's around the world, allowing graphPAK users to communicate with users, host systems and applications on graphPAK or virtually any major PDN. Automated systems can access graphPAK through a wide range of protocols including asynch, bisynch, SNA, X.25 and frame relay at speeds as high as 1.544 Mbps.

International Hardcopy Mail

Graphnet's United States Automated Mail (USAM) and international Graphnet Electronic Mail (GEM) mail services can deliver important documents in as little as three hours to destinations around the world. Messages created by computer can be delivered by :

• Same-day or overnight courier
• Telephone
• Next-day, certified or first-class mail

Documents can include a color logo and signature and be delivered in custom envelopes for added impact.

Enhanced Fax Technology

Since 1991, Graphnet has installed MegaFax technology in Postal Telephone and Telegraph carriers (PTTs) and Value-Added networks around the world. More than 2,000 customers transmit upwards of 6 million fax messages through MegaFax. Graphnet and its affiliates have expanded MegaFax-based networks to 45 cities in fifteen different countries on four continents.

Graphnet compliments its MegaFax technology with the MicroFax LAN-based fax server. The MicroFax system lets LAN users create a document in virtually any application and transmit it as a fax directly from their PCs. Depending on the user's configuration and the destination's area code, country code, or the size of a broadcast, the outbound fax(es) can be routed automatically to the local carrier, an alternate carrier, or Graphnet's MegaFax network. The MicroFax server also lets users receive faxes directly on their PC through their current e-mail system. The server is compatible with most major network operating systems and LAN types.
