JBIG is an image data compression method, much like MH, MR, and MMR 
are.  However, JBIG is generally much more compact than is any of 
those.  So, you'll save on long distance toll charges if you can use 
JBIG (both sender and receiver must support it).  To see the finer 
details of how to get it going or what it's all about see:

(Which currently is nearly verbatim the message I posted that Darren 
indicated already, however, the information at the link above is subject 
to updates, whereas the mail archive is not.)

Thanks,

Lee.
