Who Needs this WinFax PRO 4.0 Patch
===================================
Only users running the March 20, 1994 release of WinFax PRO should
run this patch. See the About dialog in WinFax PRO for the program
release date.
The enclosed patch updates WinFax PRO 4.0 to include the following:
- Remote Retrieval capability - If you have a Class 1 fax/modem,
you can poll remote fax devices to retrieve faxes. For example,
connect to a fax information service to obtain up-to-the-minute
international weather forecasts. You can also poll your computer
from remote locations to retrieve faxes from your WinFax
Receive Log folder. Password and Calling Station Identifier (CSID)
checks ensure the security of polling.
- Fax MailBox capability - When you subscribe to the Fax MailBox
service, you get a unique, private telephone number to deposit
or retrieve faxes and voice messages. You can call into this
service from WinFax and receive the faxes directly into your
WinFax Log.
- For more information or to subscribe to Fax MailBox
Phone 1-800-670-8777
