       Title     : MIME/ESMTP Profile for Voice Messaging

A class of special-purpose computers has evolved to provide voice messaging
services.  These machines generally interface to a telephone switch and 
provide call answering and voice messaging services.  Traditionally, 
messages sent to a non-local machine are transported using analog 
networking protocols based on DTMF signaling and analog voice playback.  As
the demand for networking increases, there is a need for a standard 
high-quality digital protocol to connect these machines.  The following 
document is a profile of the Internet standard MIME and ESMTP protocols for
use as a digital voice networking protocol.     

This profile is based on an earlier effort in the Audio Message Interchange 
Specification (AMIS) group to define a voice messaging protocol based on 
X.400 technology.  This protocol is intended to satisfy the user 
requirements statement from that earlier work with the industry standard 
ESMTP/MIME mail protocol infrastructures already used within corporate 
internets.  This profile will be called the voice profile in this document.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-umig-mime-voice-01.txt".
							
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.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
