  
1. The purpose of the program.

PolyFAX(tm) permits a user to SEND AND RECEIVE E-MAIL using ANY REGULAR FAX MACHINE. The message may be plain text and/or a paper document. An Internet connection is not required. The sender does not need an e-mail address.
The user enters the message and email addresses of the recipients and the program prints an Address Page and a Message Page. The data are printed as bitmaps. 
The Address and Message Pages are placed on the (optional) paper document and they are faxed together to a server which extracts the destination addresses and plain text message and converts them to email messages. An image file representing the (optional) paper document is attached to the email, before transmitting to the recipients. The Address and Message Pages are not transmitted. 
The service is currently available in 200+ cities in 48 countries. The client software is free of charge and freely distributable. The associated service is free of charge for 30 days. Subscribers to the service may use the software for fax broadcasting to any mix of email addresses and fax numbers and may also opt to have e-mail replies delivered to their fax machine if they do not have an e-mail address.
