Status: Held for Document Update

Section 3.3, pg.37 says:

<<  last line of first paragraph >>:

   Once again, the originating fax does not generate CNG tone.

It should say:

   Once again, the originating fax does not generate a CNG tone.
                                                    ^^^

Notes:

Rationale: Missing indefiniet article; it should be used
consistently.

--- From the RAI reviewer
Recommended status: (incorrect) Rejected

Thinking about this some more (and in contradiction to my report on
erratum 1602 on this RFC), the intention of the text is to use "CNG
tone" as a mass noun, and so it does not take an indefinite article.

I believe that use of such phrases as "CNG tone" as a mass noun is
more common in British English than American English. This RFC
appears to follow the British convention, with the sole exception of
the first line of "Steps 9-12" on page 33 of section 3.2, which I now
consider to be an error.
