-
- I don't know if Innosoft is aware of this, but here's something a friend of mine
-
- told me. He works for a government financial authority, and a while ago they
- were looking around for electronic mail systems. They considered PMDF, but had
- to reject it because it does not include a Telex interface.
-
- Apparently, FAX is not a legally acceptable means of communicating financial
- information, because of problems with authentication, so they have to use Telex
- instead. If PMDF had Telex, they would probably have purchased it. Perhaps
- there's a whole market that Innosoft are missing out on?
