[hylafax-users] FAX testing

[Steve Underwood <steveu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am interested in more rigorous testing of my FAX software, and I have 
been looking around for standard approvals test suites.

In the US there used to be an EIA test spec for FAX machines called 
TSB-85. It was withdrawn for some reason, and no US spec seems to have 
taken its place. For a long time Germany required all FAX machines to 
pass a test spec called FTZ 18TR53. That seems to have morphed into 
something pretentiously called the "Definitive Tele-Facsimile Standard" 
or DTS, which is no longer a Germany only spec. This is not actually a 
standard for FAX, but a standard for testing FAX equipment. It looks 
like this may cost money, though I was unable to find out for sure from 
my web search.

I'd really like to get hold of a copy of the old TSB-85 spec (despite it 
being withdrawn), and the current DTS spec, if I can. Does anyone know 
more about these tests?

Regards,
Steve
