Hi Erik,

I am no longer at ISI and no longer work on network fax.

RFC-1314 WAS a registered MIME type at the time it came out.  I don't
know why it was left out of the most recent MIME document.  It is true
that the Netfax working group (which did RFC1314) and the MIME working
group were parallel efforts.  The Netfax working group suspended activity
with the publication of our RFC.

You might talk to Mark Needleman (mhn@stubbs.ucop.edu) and/or 
Cliff Lynch (Lynch@stubbs.ucop.edu??) about what the library
automation people have in the way of Netfax software.  Also, Bob
Kalal (Kalal@tardis.acs.ohio-state.edu) said he was developing such
software at Ohio State University.

On the commercial side, the Xionics image processing board (for 386/486
DOS/Windows) does essentially Netfax format in hardware, EXCEPT for 
multi-page (it only does single page faxes).
