Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for allowing a transmitting facsimile device and a receiving facsimile device to select a preferable communications network or other preferred transmission parameters.

Claims

1. The product of an optimized facsimile communication path by the process of:

selecting a preferable communications network by enabling a receiving facsimile device to advertise both a communication network capability data associated with the receiving facsimile device and addressing identifiers associated with the communication network capability data; and

,

enabling a selection logic to preferentially select the preferable communication network chosen from the advertised communication network capability data that is also compatible with a transmitting facsimile device'"'"'s capabilities.
