This specification provides for "simple mode" carriage of facsimile
data using Internet mail.  Extensions to this document will follow.
The current specification employs standard protocols and file formats
such as TCP/IP, Internet mail protocols, Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions (MIME), and Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) for Facsimile.
It can send images not only to other Internet-aware facsimile devices
but also to Internet-native systems, such as PCs with common email
readers which can handle MIME mail and TIFF for Facsimile data.  The
specification facilitates communication among existing facsimile 
devices, Internet mail agents, and the gateways which connect them.

This document is a revision of RFC 2305.  There have been no technical
