BLACK & WHITE SOFTWARE SHIPS NXFAX 1.04
Black & White Software is pleased to announce the release
of NXFax 1.04 for NEXTSTEP running on both Intel and NeXT
hardware.
NXFax is a reliable, high speed, fax solution which
integrates perfectly with NEXTSTEP on Motorola and
Intel based computers. Anything you can print you can fax
just by pressing the Fax button on the Print Panel. You
read, log, assign, and archive your faxes with the
NEXTSTEP FaxReader. NXFax works perfectly with your
favorite data communications programs like UUCP, SLIP,
PPP, tip, Kermit, and Microphone.
Winner of the Best of Breed award for Communications,
NXFax is at work in thousands of locations world-wide.
NEXTWORLD "highly recommends" NXFax, calling it "our
favorite fax-driver software".
PURCHASING NXFAX
You can purchase NXFax directly from Black & White
Software for $135. You will receive the award winning
NXFax software plus extensive on-line documentation
and a password.
Ordering information appears at the end of this
announcement.
DEMO
You can test NXFax before you decide to purchase. Without
a password, NXFax runs in demo mode allowing you to send
(but not receive) any number of single page faxes.
To obtain a demonstration copy of NXFax, please refer to
the instructions at the end of this announcement.
SUPPORTED MODEMS
NXFax has been tested with the following Class 2 fax modems:
Boca Research - Boca 14.4
Intel - Intel144/144E
MultiTech - MT1432BA
Practical Peripherals - FXSA, FXMT, FXPKT
Supra - SupraFAX 14.4 v32.bis
Telebit - WorldBlazer, T3000
Zoom - VFX
ZyXEL - all U-1496 models
Note that NXFax does not support Class 1 modems.
ZYXEL MODEMS
ZyXEL builds some of the best and most reliable fax modems
available. NEXTWORLD agrees saying that the "ZyXEL
modem is the best we've seen".
Black & White sells specially priced NXFax and ZyXEL
packages starting at $470 US. Packages include the NXFax
software, 1496E high-speed fax/data modem, serial and
phone cables. Shipping is free in the U.S.
UPGRADING FROM AN OLDER VERSION OF NXFAX
NXFax version 1.04 runs on Intel hardware and supports
more different brands of modems than NXFax 1.03. If you
are still using a NeXTstation or Cube and not changing
modems, you can keep using version 1.03.
Upgrades to NXFax 1.04 are free for registered customers
who can retrieve the software from an FTP site or archive
site (refer to the section "Where To Get NXFax
Electronically"). There is a $15 handling charge for
receiving an upgrade via U.S. mail.
NXFax 1.02 users who want to upgrade to NXFax 1.04 must be
running version 3.0 or higher of NEXTSTEP.
Everyone who upgrades from a prior version of NXFax will
require a new password. Password updates are free for
registered users who provide us with a previously
registered Host ID.

update requests to nxfax@bandw.com. If you do not have
e-mail access, please fax your update request to
802-496-5112 or call 802-496-8500.
MULTI-ARCHITECTURE FORMAT
NXFax 1.04 is shipped in Multi-Architecture Binary
format so that it works with NEXTSTEP on both NeXT and
Intel hardware. NEXTSTEP 3.1 (or later) is required to
use this version of NXFax 1.04. NEXTSTEP 3.0 users should
request a special "NeXT only" version of NXFax 1.04
directly from Black & White.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INTEL USERS
NEXTSTEP 3.1 for Intel shipped with a serial driver that
does not work for high speed data and fax communications.
If you want to install NXFax 1.04 on Intel hardware, you
must either use NEXTSTEP 3.2 or obtain an updated serial
driver directly from NeXT.
WHERE TO GET NXFAX ELECTRONICALLY
NXFax will be available publicly in a few days. If you
have FTP access or can receive VERY large NeXTMail (about
1.3 meg), you can get NXFax 1.04 electronically.
