Abstract

   This document specifies a restricted profile of the Internet
   multimedia messaging protocols for use between voice processing
   server platforms.  The profile is referred to as the Voice Profile
   for Internet Mail (VPIM) in this document.  These platforms have
   historically been special-purpose computers and often do not have the
   same facilities normally associated with a traditional Internet
   Email-capable computer.  As a result, VPIM also specifies additional
   functionality, as it is needed.  This profile is intended to specify
   the minimum common set of features to allow interworking between
   conforming systems.

   This document obsoletes RFC 2421 and describes version 2 of the
   profile with greater precision.  No protocol changes were made in
   this revision. A list of changes from RFC 2421 are noted in Appendix
   F.  Appendix A summarizes the protocol profiles of this version of
   VPIM.
