- NETFAX Minutes
-
-
- o Meeting convened 9:30 AM on 8/1/90 chaired by Mark Needleman
- o Attendees briefly introduced themselves and explained their
- interests.
- o University of California and Ohio State University gave short
- presentations on work in progress or planned.
- o Draft charter for group accepted by default in that no one raised
- any objections to it.
- o There was a discussion of what transfer formats needed to be
- supported. The consensus was that there did need to be a protocol
- developed to support transmission of fax across the internet. At
- the same time support for fax using RFC822 and X.400 mail was
- needed. There was a sense that this 2nd issue might only need to
- be a reiteration of what is already stated in RFC1154(?)
- o An attempt was made to define a list of requirements for the new
- fax transmission protocol. These were:
-
- - Protocol should have mechanisms for determining destination
- node and route to destination node.
- - Protocol should work with both G3 and G4
- - There should be translation functions for standard document
- formats including, at minimum, ascii to fax and postscript to
- fax
- - The protocol should support sending fax machine to machine via
- internet, computer system to fax machine via internet, and fax
- machine to computer system via internet
- - Protocol should support receipt information to sendors.
- - Protocol should support explosion to multiple destinations.
- - Protocol should provide interfaces to other standard fax
- services.
-
- o Action items from meeting:
-
- - Marshall Rose (mrose@psi.com) will draft first cut at a
- proposed architecture based on requirements listed.
- - Karl Auerbach (karl@asylum.sf.ca.us) will draft description of
- what his proposed fax interface to mail looks like.
- - University of California and Ohio State University will write
- and distribute short descriptions of the projects they have
- underway or planned.
