If your site has installed the optional PMDF-FAX product then you might be allowed to send FAXes.

You send a FAX just like you would any other mail message except that you use one of two special addressing formats. You do not need to supply a cover page; it will automatically be generated for you.

The special FAX addressing formats may not be required. If you use VMS MAIL, PMDF MAIL, or DECwindows MAIL, then you can simply specify the address IN%FAX-FORM (simply FAX-FORM from PMDF MAIL). In response to that address, a pop-up FAX addressing form will appear. You merely need to fill in the blank labeled "FAX telephone number", press CTRL/Z, and your FAX address has been constructed for you. You can fill in some of the other blanks if you want; they specify optional information which, when supplied, will appear on the cover page of your FAX (e.g., the recipient's name, telephone number, address, etc.).

After your FAX has been sent, PMDF-FAX will send you, via e-mail, an acknowledgement. Your system manager could have also configured PMDF-FAX to periodically send you status reports detailing the status of your FAX.
