SUMMARY
=======

The nature of directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) is such that each postoffice
or foreign system tracks its own changes, and exchanges them with one central
postoffice "server."

The Microsoft Mail Gateway to Fax simply converts Microsoft Mail messages to a
graphics format acceptable to fax machines, and transmits them. Because there is
no "controlling agent" on the fax side to monitor changes; Directory
Synchronization cannot be used.
