A modular franking system (10) for processing envelopes into mailpieces having a path through the modules (11, 12A/12B, 13, 14, 15, 16) for performing steps on the envelopes such a weighing (12A/12B) each envelope and calculating a franking charge (14)for each envelope. The franking system (1) includes a network protocol stack and a network controller or node (N1, N2) that connects the system (10) to a gateway such as a LAN (21). The LAN (21) can allow access to the Internet (22). Via the LAN (21), the franking system (10) can be remotely configured. |
