Fax's ancestor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

telex

(Other definitions for telex that I've seen before include "Messaging system" , "Old printed messaging service" , "A precursor of email" , "Teleprinter service, message" , "International electronic communication service" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
