ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus to perform outdial facsimile services are disclosed. A disclosed method comprises sending an admittance request message containing a destination from a communication device to a gatekeeper, receiving an admittance response message containing an address of a gateway at the communication device, establishing a simple message transfer protocol (SMTP) session with the gateway, and transmitting a copy of a stored facsimile from the communication device via the gateway to the destination.
