PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for minimizing data bottlenecks in low data rate networks (LDRNs) that communicate facsimile transmissions. SOLUTION: An LDRN is a facsimile network having a transmission data rate less than the data relate of the FAX machines serviced by the network. The system and method can be implemented in any type of LDRN, including analog and digital wired LDRNs, as well as analog and digital wireless LDRNs (cellular networks, for example). The system and method involve processing the facsimile transmissions in order to make the data rates of the LDRN and the FAX machines compatible. Thus, any potential facsimile data bottlenecks that may occur in the LDRN due to its slower data rate can be minimized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
