Press Release



FAX RESOURCE NETWORK FAX SUPPORTS MORE FAX LINES, MORE FEATURES AND 
MORE ADVANCED OPERATIONS; NETWORK INDEPENDENT; SUPPORTS WINDOWS USERS 
SITE-WIDE.


Resource Partners, Inc. (Wakefield, NH) announces the most powerful and 
sophisticated network fax system to date, boasting advanced features, 
transparent operation and very competitive pricing. It offers site-wide 
Windows users easy single-instance and broadcast faxing, and works over 
any server-based or peer-to-peer network; it also works with the popular 
Windows word processors to perform merge faxing. Standard configurations
support up to 32 fax lines and custom configurations can support hundreds, 
by far more than anything in its category. It allows both manual and 
automatic routing, forwarding and laser printing of incoming faxes.  It 
saves "archives" of incoming and outgoing faxes; pages from these archived 
faxes can readily combine into new faxes.  It supports page annotations, 
completely custom cover pages and more.  The Fax Resource Network Fax Series 
is available for $ 1,295 US (single server, 250 users), additional server
modules are available for $ 1,000.  An ISA RPI fax modem  is $995 per card.  
It also supports up to four off-the-shelf Class 2 modems  (ask about 
certification for specific models) per server. 

Each Fax Resource Network Fax server can support up to six separate lines; 
multiple servers combine transparently to support larger line arrays.  A 
user can broadcast a single fax over all lines at once, if circumstances 
require it, and find the connection results for all calls reported in the 
system's comprehensive journal logs.  A fax server can be a relatively 
inexpensive 386SX PC with as little as 1MB of RAM and a monochrome display 
(4MB and VGA for Windows for WorkGroups). 

Fax Resource Network Series can route incoming faxes to any combination 
of locations on the network and outside fax numbers.  In addition to default 
routing instructions, Fax Resource Network Series allows special routing 
instructions for each incoming line.  It also lets users stipulate special 
automatic routing instructions for faxes from specific fax machines based 
on the machine's automatic self-identification (CSID); this is where a fax 
machine owner generally records the name or number of a fax machine that
appears on the top of transmitted pages.

Merge faxing is one of the most-demanded, least-delivered abilities of 
network fax services, and a strength of the Fax Resource Network Series.  
Just as merge printing creates multiple versions of a page, each customized 
to a single addressee, merge faxing works with most Windows word processing 
software to create custom pages that each invisibly embed a fax number.  As
a result, it automatically faxes each custom letter to its addressee.

The Fax Resource Network Series also has one of the most advanced file 
viewer / editor / annotators in the category. It can insert or remove pages, 
add text noted in any available size and font, blank out sensitive material, 
paste bitmap graphics from other applications via the Windows clipboard and 
more.  It can store, print, route or fax the resulting file.  And it works 
with any saved outgoing or incoming fax file.  Also, users can create
custom cover pages; the full page ( not just the top, as with some such  
features in competing products) is editable.

Version 4.12.04 started shipping in late July.
