Replacement of CIA FAX Nets

1. Action Requested: That OIT initiate action to survey
the facsimile machines used by CIA offices in the Washington
area and then coordinate the replacement of obsolete systems
with an Agency-standard machine.
2. Background: In addition to the interagency WASHFAX
system, the Operations Center maintains and operates four other
facsimile systems that are used to transmit documents between
Headquarters and Agency facilities--largely in the Washington
Area. As with the main WASHFAX system, these supplementary
systems have been in service for many years and are becoming
increasingly difficult to maintain.
3. One of our four facsimile nets uses a "dial-up" DACOM
unit to communicate with DOD facilities around the country.
Until DOD decides on a new facsimile standard, and moves to
replace the obsolete DACOM units at all installations with
which we communicate, we will have to keep a DACOM machine
operational. This machine predates current facsimile standards
and can only communicate with other DACOMs.
4. The other three nets are used to communicate with CIA
components and thus are subject to our control. Since these
machines are operated by a number of different Agency
components, we believe that OIT is the most logical office to
take the lead in surveying these systems, and coordinating the
purchase and installation of replacements.
