===== Background FAX option:  =====

A true background fax option is now built into the program if you purchase a 
field tested CAS [TM]-compatible FAX board from another vendor.  
 
In earlier releases you had to 'shell out'  using Fast Runner [TM], invoke 
your fax foreground software, send the fax, then return back as the Fast 
Runner [TM] window closed.

Now you can send a fax without leaving the Memo screen.  In the activity 
Memo Options Menu you will observe option F:  

                              "F)  Send Fax" 

Once you enter option F, the program will then display the list of Alternate 
Phone Numbers for that person.  After you select a phone number from that 
list, the MTEZ [TM] 'Telefascimile Module' takes over in the background and 
sends the Activity Memo to that person.  If you select more than one phone 
number from the Alternate list, then MTEZ [TM] will send the text to that 
person also.  Each background 'send' instruction takes about one second, 
then begins its attempt to deliver or  re-deliver that fax in the background 
while you continue doing other work.  

Zoom Telephonics [TM] recently converted a number of their Zoom [TM] Fax 
cards to being MTEZ [TM] compatible.  Any of these part numbers should work:

                             Zoom [TM] FC 96/24
                                    AFX
                                    AFC  
                                   FCV +

If you see these Fax cards in a store, look for this sticker on their box:

                            "Includes MTEZ [TM]"
