1. A method comprising:
- allowing a transmitting facsimile device and a receiving facsimile device to select a preferable communications network by enabling said receiving facsimile device to advertise both communication network capability data associated with said receiving facsimile device and addressing identifiers associated with said communication network capability data and said receiving facsimile device;
enabling said transmitting facsimile device to read said advertised communication network capability data and said advertised addressing identifiers associated with said communication network capability data and said receiving facsimile device; and
enabling a selection logic to preferentially select a communication network chosen from said advertised communication network capability data that is also compatible with said transmitting facsimile device'"'"'s capabilities.

10. A system comprising:
-
a receiving facsimile device, and a transmitting facsimile device, wherein said receiving facsimile device can advertise both communication network capability data and addressing identifiers associated with said receiving facsimile device, and wherein said transmitting device can read said advertised communication network capability data and said advertised addressing identifiers associated with said communication network capability data and said receiving facsimile device; and
wherein based on a selection logic, a preferable communication network is chosen from said advertised communication network capability data that is also compatible with the capabilities of said transmitting facsimile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
