CoMa is short for Communication Manager and is a fax programme with high speed which functions on all Macs from MacOS 7.5. For MacOS < 8.1 you need also the appearance extension.. You find the extension on our homepage or in our mailbox.
To be able to use all features of the programme and the coming new Mac-OS X(Carbon), CoMa 5.3.0 will only work on PPC computer, NOT on 68k machines.
Whoever still uses a 68k mac has to work with CoMa 5.2.0, sorry!
The display of every incoming fax documents is made online, which means every incoming line is displayed on the monitor immediately.
CoMa can load and send all files in PICT format. This poses no problem for most programmes and every application can be elevated to fax page supplier and the use of CoMa has no limitations through missing page drivers.
 
CoMa also is able to convert the voice-files AIFF and WAVE into the data compressed files of the ZyXEL and Cybermod modem. This enables you to create powerfull announcements for the answering maschine by using one of the shareware sound-programmes.
A further advantage is the display the fax pages simultaneously in preview-windows. A window is opened for every fax page. These pages can be comfortably read on a large monitor before they leave the computer as fax. Despite these functions installation and usage of this programme is very simple. Your whole work consists of having to edit the parameter dialogue boxes and that is it.
CoMa enables you to use 4 different header and footer logos and combine them with the text of the inbuilt editor (you can also import an unlimited amount of graphics from other programmes). You may also turn your fax page with a click of the button into a private or business document which is identical with your normal letter heads.
Our communication software is especially useful for owners of voice modems. CoMa includes the ability to be used as a digital answering machine with a large range of answering texts selectable by the user also with special event messages. CoMa has an automatic inbuilt switch between voice and fax. Up to six messages can also be recorded for remote access via a PIN.
In addition to the previously described functions CoMa professional also provides further technical functions, for example you could have price lists and product information available for callers via "fax-on-demand" using a digital telephone system or fax machine. This will save costs involved for advertising.
With the voice-on-demand system you can provide verbal information or you could mix both ie after a spoken text have fax pages transmitted if desired.
With the mini-mail-box system you can set up various levels of access, controlled by passwords. Using this system users may leave data which can be in the form of graphics or messages directly into your system. You could also set up private boxes for selected users via their own passwords. This has obvious potential for business use.
ISDN and CoMa Professional
With the digital ISDN telephone system you can use some more functions in CoMa Professional.
At first you can manage 10 MSN with time announced messages. It is possible to set one or more MSN to different use. So can one or more MSN be used as poll-sender.
If you use ISDN modem (ZyXEL or Elsa) you can put a message into the download folder. This message will be played if CoMa recognizes the calling MSN.
