Is anyone familiar with a standard method for measuring fax
transmission times. I have seen advertisements from several 
manufacturers of fax machines that claim a "x second"
transmission time.

My guess is that one of the CCITT test documents is used
to determine the number of seconds for a single page, but
I have seen nothing which details the reqirements for such
testing. Is there some science to these claims or are these
figures just a pipe dream.

Thanks,

Craig
