In order to provide alternative way for accessing WWW, we propose a FaxWeb system to access WWW services using a fax machine in this paper. Based on the FaxWeb system, users, who don't have computers or who don't have the capability of using computers, can access WWW services using fax machines.In this way, people can adopt not only computers but also fax machines, whichbelong to the traditional consumer/office electronics and are very cheap gradually, to access WWW at the client site. The user spectrum of WWW canbe expanded to those people who lack the capability of using computers. Tohave convenient use, the FaxWeb system contains voice response and a touch-tone WWW browsing facility for accessing WWW using fax machines. The system architecture and system development of FaxWeb are presented in the paper.
