To fax the Ota family you will need to use the following procedure:

• Look up your country code to initiate an international telephone call. The code for the U.S. A. is 001.
• Next, dial the number and include your country code as the first set of numbers. Use the handheld telephone instrument.
• ( from the U.S.A. dial 001-91-194-423786) ( from France dial ???-91-194-423786)
• After much international clicking and beeping, a gentleman will answer the phone.
• Upon the party answering, announce that you have a fax for him. He will than switch his machine to fax mode.
• Last, send the fax.

The party you will reach is one block from the Ota's houseboat and knows the family well. His business is that of a community telephone and fax service. The gentleman reads and writes several languages including English. I believe he also is the community letter writer for people that have communication needs in languages they do not read or write themselves. These stores and services are very common in India.
