A methodology for allowing the transmission of a facsimile message to a specified location on a multi-user computer network consists of modifying a portion of the handshake data fields transmitted in conjunction with the facsimile images. The data field is modified to accept sender-entered data, typically a recipient-specific identification code. The receiving facility obtains the data as part of the handshake procedure, and utilizes the identification code to effect routing of the message to the intended recipient. The data field utilized is preferably the Transmit Terminal Identifier field of the handshake transmission.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In order for a pair of facsimile units to communicate with each other, linkage must be established between the units to allow the data to be transmitted and received in a compatible manner.
This linkage is performed by the use of "handshake" signals, which consists of the initial exchange of data between the units preparatory to the actual transmission of the facsimile image data.
The handshake signals conform to CCITT protocols to allow machines of various manufacturers to be compatible with each other.
A part of the handshake procedure typically consists of the transfer of information provided by the users, typically programmed into and stored by the facsimile unit.
The information normally provided by the user includes the telephone number of the facsimile machine, as well as an identifier for the facility at which the machine is located, such as a company name or the like.
This part of the handshake data is known as TSI (Transmit Station Identifier) or CSID data.
This date may or may not appear on the hard copy facsimile image produced at the receiving end, and is transmitted in a form compatible with data processing, as compared to the image data of the facsimile message itself.
The present invention utilizes characters placed within the TSI data field or other portions of the data fields utilized during handshake and includes a routine at the recipient's location to recognize such data and interpret it in a manner which allows redirection of the accompanying faxed message.
The field chosen, and the modification thereto, is such that it is "non destructive", that is, it does not materially affect the transmission receipt of the facsimile document.
In particular, and as depicted in FIG.
1, the TSI field 10 may be in the form of a 20-character long data field, typically including the sender's telephone number 12 and the sender's identification 14.
This information is normally loaded by the user at the time the facsimile unit is configured for operation
