RFC2305

          A Simple Mode of Facsimile Using Internet Mail.

This document was written by K. Toyoda, H. Ohno, J. Murai (WIDE Project),
and D. Wing (Cisco) in March 1998. 

SUMMARY

   This specification provides for "simple mode" carriage of facsimile
   data over the Internet.  Extensions to this document will follow.
   The current specification employs standard protocols and file formats
   such as TCP/IP, Internet mail protocols [1, 2, 3], MIME [4, 16, 17],
   and TIFF for Facsimile [5,6,19].  It can send images not only to
   other Internet-aware facsimile devices but also to Internet-native
   systems, such as PCs with common email readers which can handle MIME
   mail and TIFF for Facsimile data.  The specification facilitates
   communication among existing facsimile devices, Internet mail agents,
   and the gateways which connect them.
