CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Mark Needleman/U California
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.
