A system for effectively combining a personal computing device (11) equipped with a facsimile modem with a service bureau (1) via a facsimile transmission initiated by the computing device. The service bureau assigns a facsimile telephone address (5) to each computing device (11), which, when the telephone address is used, results in a communication with the service bureau (1) which can receive the information and temporarily store the same. The service bureau (1) and personal computing device (11) must carry out a particular cooperation whereby the personal computing device (11) contacts the service bureau via its facsimile modem whereafter they cooperate to manipulate the facsimile modem to allow the subsequent receipt of a facsimile-compatible transmission. The facsimile-compatible transmission may contain conventional facsimile image data, digitized voice, electronic mail, text, video, spreadsheet, database, or any other information types.
