I think the historic US regulations (FCC code) have required all fax sending devices to include an identification line ("header" or "tagline") within the first inch or so at the top of the page.


To my knowledge this regulation does not require a TSI signal or a Caller*ID signal to be transmitted.

ITU T.30 stipulates that CSI/TSI only include numbers and the characters + . -, but most devices don't limit them to that, and so many fax senders will include company names and other vague information in the TSI string like "Via Fax".

The FCC code, however, does not permit a fax sender to send unsolicited faxes and requires a sender to terminate sending them immediately upon request, punishable by a minimum $500 per instance.

New FCC code that may not be in-effect yet, requires the sender to have an in-writing agreement with the receiver before transmitting any unsolicited faxes. Not like that will make any difference, though.
