Interworking Requirements for RFC2305

Folks, 

This week at Fax Connect I there are interworking tests going on related to
RFC
2305 (the simple mode of Internet fax).   

In a related effort, I have extracted a list of the various MUST/SHOULD/MAY
and
other conditions from RFC 2305 to aid interworking and related
test/implementation activities.     

A copy of this information is attached.   

Next week at the Thurs IETF Fax meeting, we will review the results of
interworking activities to date for RFC 2305 and RFC 2301 (TIFF Profiles).   
This will aid us as we review the requirements for progressing the current
Internet fax RFCs to draft standard status.   

James

IFAX mdn-FullMode Demo after the fax meeting


 Folks, 

I will show you the IFAX mdn-FullMode Demo using note-PC after the fax meeting

I am planning to add this mode in ITU-T T.37.

Give me your comments at the demo.

Re: Draft Charter Update for review at meeting

James, et al,

Looks good.  I've suggested some wording changes, below, but nothing major.

(Move this first sentence of the second paragraph into the first paragraph.
 The first paragraph of a working group charter is used to 'advertise' and
explain working groups, so that paragraph should include both the problem
and the goal or nature of the solution.)

To make the sentence into a positive:

The goal of the fax working group is to emulate Group 3 facsimile services,
within fully conformant Internet mail, to permit store-and-forward
exchanges between fax systems, using the Internet, as well as to integrate
the global facsimile and Internet mail environments.

DRAFT-IETF-FAX-FULLADDR-05.TXT - updates only


Hallo,
here is the only sections which were updated based on the few comments 
which came in both from this WG and others.

>Security section: align text with RFC2305

Some GSTN service require dialing of private codes, like Personal
Identification Numbers, to dial a G3 fax recipient or to access
special services. As e-mail addresses are transmitted without
encoding over the MTAs transport service, this could allow
unauthorized people to gain access to these codes when used inside
local-phone. More over these codes might appear in some cases in the
originator / recipient addresses on cover pages delivered via offramp
gateways to G3 fax recipients. Senders SHOULD be provided methods to
prevent this disclosure, like code encryption, or masquerading
tecniques: out-of-band communication of authorization information or
use of encrypted data in special fields are the available non-standard
techniques.

>Additional recipient-qualifier elements: make clear that these elements are
>OPTIONAL, and only the minimal necessary number of them should be used.

The recipient-name is sometimes not enough to specify completely the
originator / recipient. An additional set of optional elements is thus
defined:

One or a combination of some of the above elements are usually enough

Fax WG Summary

To all - 

The one paragraph summary for the Internet Fax WG meeting of December 10
follows:

Regards, 

James Rafferty
Internet Fax WG chair

_____________________________________________________________

Internet Fax Dec 98 Meeting Summary

The meeting began with a review of the results of the last ITU Study Group
8 meeting held in November.    At that meeting, a draft amendment of T.37
was "determined" for the full mode; the technical details are specified by
reference to the "eifax" Internet Draft, as well as the "reporting
extensions" and "fax-feature-schema" documents.   The ITU needs RFC numbers
and copies of the final documents as soon as possible as part of the
approval process, which is targeted for completion in April 1999.   There
are three completed drafts "Goals", "eifax" and "reporting-extensions". 
The latter two documents will be submitted to the IESG once the
"fax-feature-schema" document is complete.   The schema document was
reviewed by the authors and a new version will be posted after the meeting.
  It was agreed there would be a final one week Last Call on this document.
  The status of three documents referenced by "eifax" from the CONNEG
working group was reviewed; all but the "syntax" document are in review by
the IESG.  The group also reviewed additional charter milestones and
supported updating of the simple mode RFCs, an implementor's guide and

large quantity of unwanted test faxes

I am getting a large number of test faxes on my fax
machine. Is anyone else getting these? The last batch,
for example, were from "031 307 2317", from "grindrod
seafreight sales", and, besides saying "valuecom" and
"test fax" on the cover.

I think tests that are not accompanied by an explanation
of how to turn them off are exceedingly rude.

RE: large quantity of unwanted test faxes

I've been getting a bunch of these some South Africa.  Fortunately they now have stopped.  They consist of the
first three pages from the Slerexe set.
