Technical Summary

   This document defines a Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) 
   package to support fax calls.  The package allows for fax calls to 
   be supported in two different ways.  The first one utilizes ITU-T 
   Recommendation T.38 for fax relay under the control of the Call 
   Agent.  The second one lets the gateway decide upon a method for fax 
   transmission as well as handle the details of the fax call without 
   Call Agent involvement.
