Abstract
The protocol scheme of a destination or receiving station is identified by a source or sending station in order to permit automatic reformatting of the source data into a compatible format and protocol scheme before transmission is initiated. The destination protocol is logged in the source system so that the protocol can thereafter be determined by destination address. The scheme is also capable of determining the protocol and format of the sending station, selecting the appropriate protocol and converting the data to a compatible format.
