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		: Facsimile over Internet Mail
	Author(s)	: J. Murai, H. Ohno, K. Toyoda, D. Wing
	Filename	: draft-ietf-fax-service-01.txt
	Pages		: 9
	Date		: 23-Dec-97
	
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 Fax
[5,6].  It can send images not only to other Internet-aware
fax devices but also to Internet-native systems, such as PCs
with common email readers which can handle MIME mail and TIFF
for Fax data.  The specification facilitates communication
among existing facsimile devices, Internet mail agents, and
the gateways which connect them.

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
