Yes, FCC Part68 only mention about Telephone connected fax.
There was no legal requirement before junk fax has become popular in G3 fax.
Can you imagine that ifax users get many printed SPAM mail and junk fax
which cost some cents per page.
User will ask to stop printing such useless junk fax.
Sending date/stamping header may prevent junk IFAX.
So supporting Part68 for ifax is very important not only for user but also
manufacturer.
Some T.37 fax machine supports fax date/stamping header same header as of
Classic fax,
I am proposing T.37 Terminal Mode which mandates date/stamping, in IETF.
