Abstract: An apparatus and method for computer telephony communications, specifically for interconnecting legacy modem devices using an analog telephone adapter (ATA). A modem connection link is established from a PSTN modem device having an ATA device that may be connected to a IP transport medium (internet), where the IP transport medium is connected to a media interface and where the media server is also connected to a PSTN modem device with full data integrity, so that there is a successful data delivery via the PSTN modem.

Abstract: A method to efficiently and reliably interface of legacy modem systems not residing on the internet being transported through the internet to a non-internet modem receiving device through intelligent algorithms to support both ready reception and non-ready reception devices.

Abstract: A method to efficiently and reliably guarantee delivery of fax documents not residing on the internet being transported through the internet to a non-internet fax receiving device through intelligent algorithms to support both ready reception and non-ready reception devices. The algorithms work in conjunction with one another to determine the necessary support to successfully transmit fax data from non-internet to non-internet devices via the transport internet mechanism. The method also supports internet originating fax delivery to non-internet receiving devices through use of the same algorithms in determining the support for both ready reception and non-ready reception devices. The method supports phone number validation prior to the fax being transmitted to it targeted destination. The security of the call and transported data is supported by internet security protocols using HTTPS, and security designed algorithms that work in conjunction within this implementation method.

Abstract: Disclosed is a database management device that has a transmitting facsimile device and a receiving facsimile device to select between a default communications network and an alternate communications network based on advertised communication network capability and by a selection logic, this selection logic determined by color, resolution, baud rate, compression format; the communications network can be the public switched telephone network, the internet, or other networks.

Abstract: Described herein is a facsimile to voice over IP adapter for the real-time reliable transmission of audio messages using HTTP, the voice over IP adapter having audio adapter interfaces, the audio adapter interfaces capable of receiving a audio encoded facsimile data stream; ethernet adapter interfaces, the ethernet adapter interface capable of transmitting an HTTP encoded facsimile image; a fax processor, the real-time fax processor capable of receiving a one or more audio streams from the audio adapter interface and packetizing the one or more audio streams into an HTTP encode facsimile image; where the facsimile is capable of being transmitted from a source facsimile machine through an voice over IP adapter, and further transmitted to a destination facsimile machine.

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.

Abstract: A system and a method including allowing a transmitting facsimile device and a receiving facsimile device to select a preferable communications network by enabling the receiving facsimile device to advertise both communication network capability data associated with the receiving facsimile device and addressing identifiers associated with the communication network capability data and the receiving facsimile device, enabling the transmitting facsimile device to read the advertised communication network capability data and the advertised addressing identifiers associated with the communication network capability data and the receiving facsimile device, and enabling a selection logic to preferentially select a communication network chosen from the advertised communication network capability data that is also compatible with the transmitting facsimile device's capabilities.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods that can improve the quality and efficiency of document facsimile transmission. Quality can be improved by allowing a facsimile document sender to view the document as it will be transmitted to a receiving facsimile device. Efficiency of facsimile transmission is improved by providing systems and methods that allow the transmitting facsimile device to determine the capabilities and/or preferences associated with the receiving facsimile device and convert the facsimile document to match those capabilities and/or preferences before a call is placed.
