- As promised in an earlier post, today I called Total Systems
- Software to check on the status of the long-overdue DFax software,
- which is supposed to provide Send/Receive capabilities for NeXTs using
- Supra v32 and v32bis data/Fax modems (as well as support features like
- "silent answer" and eventually voicemail).
-
- I got the famous "emily@tss.com" on the line, and after identifying
- myself and my mission she said, "Well, don't drop dead or anything..."
- ("Uh oh, here it comes," I thought, "they've gone belly up") "we're
- shipping."
-
- "You're what?"
-
- "We're shipping. The discs are here and when I leave this afternoon
- I'll be dropping a load off to go out. We expect to have all of the
- original orders out in the next 3 days."
-
- After all this time it was more than I could handle in a single sitting.
- I asked her repeatedly if she was sure and she said up, down and sideways
- that she was (I then had her recheck my address and phone # just so some-
- other poltergeist can't get in the way). So..... I'm going to be camping
- by the old mailbox for the next few days. Will post a review of the soft-
- ware once it arrives, by Emily says it does everything that was promised,
- (which means it's dynamite!) and all of the testers thus far have loved it.
-
- Can it be that sometimes things do work out?
-
- Hope this cheers up a few people out there ---- tom
