Providing facsimile communications in a system wherein an originating facsimile terminal equipment (10-1) connects to an intermediate digital network (12) unknown and unpredictable delay via an originating facsimile interface (14-1) and wherein a destination (FTE)(10-2) connects to the network (12) via a destination (FIU)(14-2). The originating (FTE)(10-1) sends data to the destination (FTE)(10-2) via the originating (FIU)(14-1). The originating (FIU)(14-1) sends the data to the destination (FIU)(14-2). While the destination (FIU)(14-2) is waiting for data from the originating (FTE)(10-1), the destination (FIU)(14-2) sends made-up data to the destination (FTE)(10-2) to prevent protocol timeouts of the destination FTE(10-2). The FTEs operate under the G3 protocol. The made-up data is either fill data or stall data, depending on the amount of data accumulated at the destination FIU and on the types of network delays. |
