<p>The present invention discloses a system and a method for transmitting facsimile data over a network and an apparatus and a method for packing data so that cached data is packed and transmitted and the buffer is dumped when the amount of data received and cached by a gateway from a Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) reaches a threshold value. Then, the gateway continues receiving data from the PSTN and comparing the cached amount of data with the threshold. When the gateway detects a frame end signal, if there is already data cached in the buffer area, the gateway packs and transmits all data in the buffer and packs and transmits the frame end signal no matter whether the amount of data in the buffer has reached the threshold value; if there is no data cached in buffer area, the gateway directly packs and transmits the frame end signal. As the maximum amount of data that a data package can carry is limited, the delay due to packing and caching data by the uplink gateway is limited. This assures that V.21 frame signal data is transmitted to the correct receiving fax machine in time.</p> |
