Abstract
A public facsimile machine is arranged so that it will only receive an incoming facsimile if the facsimile is preceded by a predetermined security code. In addition, the public facsimile machine is associated with an enhanced facsimile service so that the capabilities provided by such a service, for example, broadcasting a facsimile to a plurality of destinations, may be offered to a user of the public facsimile machine.
