Lines: 16 In-reply-to: cire@CISCO.COM's message of 19 Dec 89 03:53:00 GMT A reminder to usenet readers of comp.protocols.tcp-ip that there is an existing newsgroup, alt.fax, which is dedicated for better or for worse to discussions of fax technology and applications. obl. tcp-ip-relevant comment: There's work being done at several CICnet schools to use internet links as transport for fax messages. The underlying tcp technology is FTP as you might expect. A recent announcement of fax tools was recently reposted by yrs truly to comp.archives so if you skim through that you should be able to find it pretty quickly. I know there's an RFC that addresses a standard format for storing an ascii representation of fax images written back in the olden days when the US Post Office was going to offer the service. --Ed
