    Maeda-san,

    Many thanks for this input. I think this raises a very important question
    for IPP-FAX. The PART 68 requirement is very specific to Telephone facsimile
    machines, and applicability to Internet facsimile is not obvious. Indeed,
    PART 68 is only applicable to telephone communications and interface.

    So far as I can see, T.37 has no mention of date/stamping, other than a
    requirement that offramp gateways "Ensure that local legal requirements
    relating to facsimile transmissions are met". This again applies to
    telephone connections.

    Have any date/stamping practices been established for T.37 implementations
    in anticipation of legal requirements being set?

    Thank you.
