OS/2 Fax Software Adds Internet Faxing and Voice in Major New Release
White Bear Lake, Minnesota -- October 4, 1996 -- Keller Group, developer of the
OS/2 fax software sold as "FaxWorks for OS/2" and "PMfax", has added voice
telephony, Internet faxing, Internet Relay Systems and many other
features in a new version 3 release. IBM has shipped the updated "Lite" version
of FaxWorks for OS/2 in OS/2 Warp 4 (Merlin), and the full-featured retail
products are ready and available now for use on both OS/2 Warp 3 and Warp 4.
The new Internet support in the retail products integrates with OS/2 Internet
e-mail products to provide "fax for free" delivery. Any of the fax, voice, text
and data items in the new Universal Log can be "faxed" via e-mail. For
recipients who are using the OS/2 products, the retrieved e-mail items are
automatically decoded and appear in the Universal Log as received items.
Internet Relay Systems are also supported, such as faxing to your local office,
routing the fax to your overseas office via Internet, then delivering the fax
with a local call at the overseas location. Any site with an Internet
connection and an inexpensive fax modem (or any of the many supported fax
hardware types) can be a node in a public or private Internet Relay System.
Voice support for fax modems and Brooktrout cards is also provided in version
3, including use of OS/2 Multimedia audio and scripts for voice mail,
fax-on-demand, remote retrieval of voice and fax items, forwarding and paging.
You can forward your fax and voice messages to another telephone number, or
forward them via e-mail for Internet retrieval anywhere in the world. Other
features include new cover sheets, modem sharing, edit tools, archiving,
priority sending and a REXX API.
The version 3 LAN product builds on the multiline, multiserver and
hardware-independent features by adding more types of automatic fax routing
(T.30, CSID, DTMF, DID, line and OCR), smart retransmission, improved routing
and maintenance and Notes gateway, and other features.
Keller's new web page (http://www.kellergroup.com) has complete details on the
new features. The latest voice scripts, REXX documentation and utility programs
are also available for viewing and downloading from the web page. The version 3
product is available from Keller's publishers, including Global Village
Communication (FaxWorks Pro for OS/2 products, 1-800-329-9675, stand-alone
$129, upgrade $69, LAN version $499) and NiteHawk / Open Port (Corporate PMfax
products, 614/477-8801). Please contact Mark Ahlstrom at Keller Group with any
questions.
