  18. No. The "economy" $625 version is Faximum ELS, which features an
  19. "easy-to-use interface designed for non-technical users", custom cover
  20. sheets, WordPerfect integration, console display support, various font
  21. emulations "for laser quality faxes".  That's it.
  22.  
  23. "and for additional functionality there is Faximum PLUS"...
  24.  
  25. Faximum PLUS is $900 and offers intelligent routing, multiple
  26. directories, detailed accounting, etc., etc. that make this the choice
  27. for networked systems.    
  28.  
  29. So a comparison between a single user (I assume) $290 Digifax package
  30. and the Faximum $625 product seems perfectly reasonable.  I'm sure that
  31. Faximum makes wonderful software, but I believe it was an inappropriate
  32. and inconvenient recommendation from Telebit.
