You can certainly send faxes from CompuServe, or AT&T Mail, or any
number of commercial e-mail networks that are reachable from the
Internet.  However, most of these services will only provide e-mail
delivery from the Internet, and block expensive services such as fax,
Telex, and paper delivery.

The point of a gateway between the Internet and a commercial network is
to help the network's customers communicate with a larger audience, and
let the Internet users communicate with the network's customers.  In
all of the cases I know of, the networks are willing to eat the message
charges from the Internet to their customers.  That's *not* the same as
footing the bill for Internet users who want to send faxes to Taiwan or
Telex messages to Europe (two examples from my e-mail correspondence).

If you want to send faxes from a computer running the UNIX(R) operating
system (or any system that runs UUCP), you can register your computer
with AT&T Mail.  Registration costs (I think) thirty dollars per year.
There's no cost to receive messages from the service; registered
systems pay the same message delivery charges as on-line users (but
don't pay a message creation charge).  For more information, contact
AT&T EasyLink Service's Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-MAIL-672
(outside the U.S.A., 1-317-352-8504), or atthelp@attmail.com (AT&T Mail
!atthelp).
