DENVER, Colorado USA -- Complete Computer Solutions Inc. (CCSI) is pleased to
announce shipment of Total System Software's DFax -- the subject of much
speculation in several newsgroups. In this initial release, DFax supports
transparent data and facsimile transmission and reception on the Supra
v.32bis/v.42bis 14,400 FAXmodem. DFax serves quietly behind the scenes, using
a minimum of system resources and avoiding interference with other system
operations -- a natural choice for system administrators. Local users utilize
DFax from directly within the NeXT Print Panel.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS o DFax generates industry standard 204dpi x 98dpi (normal)
or
204dpi x 196dpi (high resolution) faxes, preserving the original
aspect ratio and rendering a truer image -- especially important
when faxing photographs.
o DFax creates minimal interference with other port usages, assuming
ownership of the serial port only when needed to transmit or
receive data and to re-initialize the modem. This means that
software which is incompatible with remote logins or with other
fax software can be used with DFax.
o DFax uses the standard getty and login for incoming data calls,
maintaining system security and ensuring compatibility with remote
utilities and with activities on the local system which depend
upon accurate login information.
o DFax answers the line under software -- not hardware -- control.
This prevents the "Somebody answered but nobody was there"
syndrome -- the data communications equivalent to the heavy
breathing nuisance call.
o DFax can be configured to perform different tasks at different
times. Because DFax is controlled by standard NetInfo entries,
and is integrated with system services, a Unix expert can set DFax
to limit the type or availability of outgoing or incoming calls
during certain hours or on certain days.
Future DFax releases will include support for:
o USR, Telebit, ZyXel, HSD, Prometheus, and many other fax/modems.
o Full NeXT (Lip Service) voice mail support for modems with xoace
transmission and receiving capabilities. With Supra's voice
support upgrade to your SupraFAXmodem and an upcoming release of
DFax software, you can receive voice mail directly on your NeXT.
o Internetworking support for Serial Link IP, Fido technology
interfacing, and non-Fido mail session interfacing, assuming
market viability.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
o NeXT computer supporting serial hardware handshaking (all NeXTs
except 6803ept 6803ept 6803ept 6803ept 6803XT diskette.
