Home networks of different software architectures are integrated with each other. References to software representations of devices and services on a first one of the networks are automatically created. The references are semantically sufficient to enable automatic creation of at least partly functionally equivalent software representations for a second one of the networks so as to make the devices and services of the first network accessible from the second network.

Home networks of different software architectures are integrated with each other. References to software representations of devices and services on a first one of the networks are automatically created. The references are semantically sufficient to enable automatic creation of at least partly functionally equivalent software representations for a second one of the networks so as to make the devices and services of the first network accessible from the second network. 1. An Internet transmission apparatus connected to a computer network, comprising: a transmitter that transmits a message in e-mail format to a designated destination via the computer network; a receiver that receives e-mail data transmitted via the computer network; a determiner that determines whether or not the received e-mail data is an error message indicating that the e-mail data transmitted from said transmitter has not been successfully transmitted; an extractor that, when said determiner determines that the received e-mail is the error message, extracts a specific data from the received e-mail data, the specific data containing at least information regarding an error and a predetermined portion of the transmitted message from said transmitter; an editor that edits the extracted specific data so that the specific data fits on one page of recording paper having a predetermined size, the editor not changing a resolution of the specific data, and a printer that prints the edited specific data on one page of recording paper having the predetermined size, said editor being configured to edit the specific data when the transmitted message and at least the information regarding an error cannot fit on the one page of recording paper such that another portion of the transmitted message is not printed. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a memory that stores the transmitted message; wherein said determiner determines the error message by comparing the received e-mail data with the transmitted message in said memory. 3. An Internet facsimile apparatus connected to a computer network, comprising: a scanner that scans an original to obtain image data; a transmitter that transmits image data in e-mail format to a designated destination via the computer network; a receiver that receives e-mail data transmitted via the computer network; a determiner that determines whether or not the received e-mail data is an error message indicating that the image data in e-mail format transmitted from said transmitter has not been successfully transmitted; and an extractor that, when said determiner determines the received e-mail data is the error message, extracts a specific data from the received e-mail data, the specific data containing at least information regarding an error and a predetermined portion of the image data obtained from the original by the scanner; a converter that converts the extracted specific data into facsimile data; an editor that edits the converted facsimile data so that the facsimile data fits on one page of recording paper having a predetermined size, the editor not changing a resolution of the specific data and a printer that prints the edited specific data on one page of recording paper having the predetermined size, said editor being configured to edit the specific data when the image data and at least the information regarding an error cannot fit on the one page of recording paper such that another portion of the image data is not printed. 4. The Internet facsimile apparatus connected to a computer network according to claim 3, said editor editing the converted facsimile data so that the entire error message and a portion of the image data fit on one page of the recording paper having the predetermined size. 5. A method for receiving image data in e-mail format via a computer network, comprising: transmitting a message in e-mail format to a designated destination via the computer network; receiving e-mail data transmitted via the computer network; determining whether or not the received e-mail data is an error message indicating that the e-mail data has not been successfully transmitted; extracting, when the determining determines that the received e-mail is the error message, a specific data from the received e-mail data, the specific data containing at least information regarding an error and a predetermined portion of the transmitted message; editing the ex tracted specific data so that the specific data fits on one page having a predetermined size, the editing not changing a resolution of the specific data and printing the edited specific data on one page having the predetermined size, the specific data being edited, when the transmitted message and at least the information regarding an error cannot fit on the one page of recording paper, such that another portion of the transmitted message is not printed. 6. An Internet transmission apparatus connected to a computer network, comprising: a transmitter that transmits a message in e-mail format to a designated destination via the computer network; a receiver that receives e-mail data transmitted via the computer network; a determiner that determines whether or not the received e-mail data is a confirmation massage indicating that the e-mail data transmitted from said transmitter has been successfully transmitted; an extractor that, when said determiner determines that the received e-mail is the confirmation message, extracts a specific data from the received e-mail data, the specific data containing at least information regarding a successful delivery and a predetermined portion of the transmitted message from said transmitter; an editor that edits the extracted specific data so that the specific data fits on one page having a predetermined size, the editor not changing a resolution of the specific data and a printer that prints the edited specific data on one page of recording paper having the predetermined size, said editor being configured to edit the specific data when the transmitted message and at least the information regarding a successful delivery cannot fit on the one page of recording paper such that another portion of the transmitted message is not printed. 7. An Internet facsimile apparatus connected to a computer network, comprising: a scanner that scans an original to obtain image data; a transmitter that transmits image data in e-mail format to a designated destination via the computer network; a receiver that receives e-mail data transmitted via the computer network; a determiner that determines whether or not the received e-mail data is a confirmation message indicating that the image data in e-mail format transmitted from said transmitter has been successfully transmitted; and an extractor that, when said determiner determines the received e-mail data is the confirmation message, extracts specific data from the received e-mail data, the specific data containing at least information regarding a successful delivery and a predetermined portion of the image data obtained from the original by the scanner; a converter that converts the extracted specific data into facsimile data; an editor that edits the converted facsimile data so that the facsimile data fits on one page of recording paper having a predetermined size; the editor not changing a resolution of the specific data and a printer that prints the edited specific data on one page of the recording paper having the predetermined size, said editor being configured to edit the specific data when the transmitted message and at least the information regarding a successful delivery cannot fit on the one page of recording paper such that another portion of the transmitted message is not printed. 8. The Internet facsimile apparatus connected to a computer network according to claim 7, said editor editing the converted facsimile data so that the entire confirmation message and a portion of the image data fit on one page of the recording paper having the predetermined size. 9. A method for receiving image data in e-mail format via a computer network, comprising: transmitting a message in e-mail format to a designated destination via the computer network; receiving e-mail data transmitted via the computer network; determining whether or not the received e-mail data is a confirmation message indicating that the e-mail data has been successfull
