This specification provides for "simple mode" carriage of
facsimile data over the Internet.  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.
