Other Telecommunication Services
Once you have arranged for telephone service, you may wish to look into other services such as facsimile (fax) machines, answering services, and computer-based services such as electronic mail and access to the Internet. Some of these services, such as faxing, are available at low cost from local businesses such as copy centers.
Most colleges and universities in the United States maintain computer facilities that are equipped with a variety of personal computers and more sophisticated “workstations.” These computer sites provide links to the campus computer network, through which users can access services such as library catalogs, on-line databases, electronic mail, and the World Wide Web.
Your college or university may provide you with a personal computer account for the purpose of accessing such services. If your institution does not offer these services, you can obtain access to the Internet by opening an account with one of the many commercial companies that offer these services.
