A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Internet Fax Working Group of the IETF. Title : Scenarios for Internet fax capability exchange Author(s) : G. Klyne Filename : draft-ietf-fax-capability-scenarios-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 05-May-98 The simple mode for Internet fax described in [1] relies on transmission of documents using a minimum feature set to achieve interoperability between sender and receiver. Proposals for extended Internet fax [2,3] aim to provide for transmission of enhanced documents (e.g. higher resolutions, colour) by employing mechanisms to identify recipient capabilities to the sender, in the same fashion as traditional Group 3 fax [4]. This memo describes some of the scenarios for capability exchange in Internet fax, taking account of the particular nature and goals of the application [5], with a view to informing the debate over what mechanisms should be used for this purpose. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-fax-capability-scenarios-00.txt". A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-fax-capability-scenarios-00.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: Africa: ftp.is.co.za Europe: ftp.nordu.net ftp.nis.garr.it Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au US East Coast: ftp.ietf.org US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu Internet-Drafts are also available by mail. Send a message to: mailserv at ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-fax-capability-scenarios-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
Note Well: Messages sent to this mailing list are the opinions of the senders and do not imply endorsement by the IETF.
