  • SG3-TO-G3 FAX SPOOF
    Publication number: 20110216892
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an originating gateway receives a call menu (CM) signal from an originating fax machine. The CM signal may have been generated in response to an ANSam signal from a terminating fax machine. The originating gateway suppresses the CM signal after a preamble of the CM signal and generates a modified JM signal in response to receiving the CM signal. The modified JM signal indicates that V.34 half-duplex modulation is not an option. The originating gateway transmits the modified JM signal to the originating fax machine, which allows the transmission to continue across an unenhanced T.38 fax relay.
