  "abstract": "To allow connectivity between the General Switched Telephone Network facsimile service (GSTN fax) and the e-mail-based Internet Fax service (i-fax) an \"Internet Fax Gateway\" is required. This document provides recommendations for the functionality of Internet Fax Gateways. In this context, an \"offramp gateway\" provides facsimile data transmission from i-fax to GSTN fax; vice versa, an \"onramp gateway\" provides data transmission form GSTN fax to i-fax. The recommendations in this document apply to the integrated service including Internet Fax terminals, computers with i-fax software on the Internet, and GSTN Fax terminals on the GSTN. This memo provides information for the Internet community.",
