TWO-LINE SOHO FAX/VOICE SOFTWARE FOR OS/2
White Bear Lake, Minnesota -- March 2, 1998 -- Keller Group, developer of
the fax software sold as FaxWorks for OS/2 and PMfax, now has special
dual-line versions of its popular fax and voice software for OS/2. Available
in both standalone and LAN configurations, the new products provide two-line
capability at a very attractive price so that small office and home office
(SOHO) users can satisfy all their fax and voice messaging needs on the OS/2
platform.
The new SOHO standalone product ($199) allows simultaneous use of two
telephone lines for faxing and voice messaging. Many popular fax modems and
Brooktrout cards are supported, and scripts are provided for multiple voice
mailboxes, 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. The same type of fax/voice hardware is needed for
both lines, but each line can be separately controlled in the script to
provide different fax and voice services on each line.
The SOHO LAN product ($299) provides all of the above features and adds
simple LAN support. This product allows "shared mode" use of the fax/voice
hardware by up to five other OS/2 workstations and includes the dual-line
support. It is intended for small LAN configurations where privacy, routing
and other advanced features of the regular PMfax LAN products are not
needed.
"These new products demonstrate our commitment to supporting the use of OS/2
by the home and small office user," says Mark Ahlstrom, President of Keller
Group. "We have other products for larger corporate users, but we continue
to see OS/2 used in small office and home office situations. We want to make
it easier for these users to run PMfax for both their fax and voice lines."
PMfax is available in multiline configurations of up to 96 lines per CPU
with support for multiple CPUs and may other advanced features, but this
advanced functionality is designed for larger LAN and fax broadcasting users
and is priced at several hundred dollars per line. The new SOHO products
provide the second line at a much lower price, but they do not affect
Keller's previous offerings since the special SOHO line cannot be combined
with other multiline or LAN options.
All PMfax products are now available for electronic ordering and delivery
through the Keller Group web site at http://www.kellergroup.com .
