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 &quot;server.&quot;

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 &quot;controlling agent&quot; on the fax side to monitor changes; Directory Synchronization cannot be used.
