Faximum Announces New Fax Software for Linux and Windows
Faximum Announces New Fax Software for Linux and Windows
*FMS 2 seamlessly integrates fax with email to deliver improved security
and higher user efficiency.*
West Vancouver, BC -- June 24 -- Faximum Software Inc., a leading
developer of fax server software, announces a major new release of its
Fax Messaging Server (FMS) product. FMS 2 runs on Linux, integrates with
an organisation's existing email server, and enables Windows, Mac, and
Linux users to send and receive faxes as easily as (and using the same
tools as) email.
FMS 2:
* enables users to send email to fax numbers (e.g.
FAX=1-604-926-8182@fax.yourdomain.com)
* allows users to combine email addresses and fax numbers in the
same message or email group
* enables users to receive their faxes in the same inbox as their email
* eliminates the need to route, distribute, and file paper faxes
manually
* makes it easy to pick up your faxes while at home or on the road
travelling
* keeps confidential faxes actually confidential by eliminating the
manual handling of faxes
* provides print drivers for Windows enabling "What You Print is
What You Fax"
* can bypass the long-distance phone system when installed at branch
offices reducing or eliminating toll charges for long distance faxing
* has web-based administration making it easy to configure and
manage without having to use cryptic shell commands or to edit
configuration files
"We are proud of the tight integration and ease of use that our
engineers have worked hard to deliver in this new Faximum Fax Messaging
Server release," says Carolanne Reynolds, Vice President of Faximum
Software Inc. "On the one hand we have delivered Windows print drivers
and Microsoft Outlook integration needed by most users, while on the
other hand exploiting the advantages and strengths of the Linux
platform. The combination delivers unbeatable efficiencies, ease of use,
and cost savings."
Indeed, one can spend less on a Linux distribution and a low-end server
capable of handling hundreds of fax users than on a single Windows
server licence alone. The result is a system that can deliver fax
services to a network of Windows users at a lower TCO than most
competitive Windows products.
In addition to running on most Linux distributions, FMS 2 has been
specifically designed to install and work with the Caldera Volution
Messaging Server and the SuSE eMail Server III. These two email server
products build upon the reliability of their Linux distributions to
provide small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with easy-to-deploy
messaging servers. FMS 2 will also work with most SMTP email servers
such as Microsoft Exchange. Ports to other UNIX platforms such as IBM
AIX, HP-UX, SCO (Caldera) Open Server, and Sun Solaris are already
underway.
"Caldera applauds Faximum Software's announcement of FMS 2," said Biff
Traber, Vice President, Engineering and Product Management, Caldera
"Adding fax capabilities to OpenLinux and the Volution Messaging Server
expands the functionality of our products and their usefulness to our
customers."
