Group III FAX uses CCITT (European) modem standards, which differ from U.S.
modem standards.  What you want is the CCITT "Blue Book" covering
recommendations T.0-T.60-something, which ha all of the FAX standards in
it, among a bunch of other stuff.  CCITT standards are available from
Omnicom, Inc. in Vienna, VA.  I don't have their number or address handy,
but if all else fails you can probably get it from Directory Assistance
for area code 703...

Good Luck,
