Frank,
No, it does not. It's simply an alternative representation of the fax data.
The receiver could receive it and print it, create audio tones (if it
desired), produce a TIFF image and e-mail it, or whatever else it wished to
do.

In what way does this not satisfy *exactly* the requirements
for the audio top-level MIME type?
The final receiver isn't supposed to "hear" a fax arriving as
phone call, "whistling" the replies. Seriously, does this
media type require a modem somewhere on the receiver's side ?
