PMfax 3.01 now shipping.

White Bear Lake, Minnesota -- July 9, 1997 -- Keller Group, developer of the OS/2 fax software sold as FaxWorks for OS/2 and PMfax, is now shipping PMfax version 3.01 with enhanced voice features and a new multiple mailbox voice mail system. Many additional voice/fax modems are supported, new voice options are available for enhanced voice quality, and standalone PMfax users can now run an advanced multiple mailbox system for faxes and voice messages.

In addition to supporting Brooktrout boards and voice/fax modems based on the popular Rockwell chipset, PMfax 3.01 includes settings for the U.S. Robotics Sportster Voice modems, ZyXEL OMNI modems, and modems based on the new Cirrus Logic MD3452 chipset with IS-101 voice. For optimal voice quality and performance, these modems can be used in a new "native voice format" mode and support for playing and recording the voice messages through the modem's speaker, microphone and handset jacks is provided.

The new multiple mailbox script supports an unlimited number of user mailboxes for both voice mail and faxes. Each user can call the system and enter a personal password to remotely retrieve their voice messages and faxes, change their password, record their personal mailbox greeting, or retrieve items from the fax log using fax-on-demand. "The new script works with all supported voice/fax hardware," says Mark Ahlstrom, President of Keller Group, " and since it requires just the PMfax version 3.01 software, this is easily the most cost effective voice/fax system for the OS/2 platform and quite likely the most powerful such system on any computing platform." PMfax version 3 is a $69 upgrade for users of FaxWorks Lite that comes free in the OS/2 BonusPak.

PMfax version 3.01 is now shipping for electronic orders which are placed directly with Keller Group (http://www.kellergroup.com) or through Keller's electronic publishers such as BMT Micro (http://www.wilmington.net/bmtmicro) or the OS/2 SuperSite Rapid Internet Purchasing system (http://www.os2ss.com/rip). PMfax customers who have purchased PMfax version 3.00 directly from Keller Group can get a free upgrade from Keller Group. Customers who have purchased Keller-developed version 3.00 products from other publishers can obtain the PMfax update through Keller's new Support Program or check with their publisher for availability.

Keller's Web page (http://www.kellergroup.com) has complete details on the latest products, features and program updates. Please contact Mark Ahlstrom at Keller Group with any questions.
