At SIGGRAPH there was a third-party software company in the Sun Booth that was demoing Fax software for the Sun. The name of the company is The Bristol Group and they are out of Londonderry, NH, USA. Their technique is to use the Everex Fax modem hooked to an RS-232 port. They provide two types of software: server software to control the modem and user software for "Fax composition, filing, searching, and viewing". (The filing and searching stuff could be interesting but from the literature I can't tell what it means.) One server with modem can be used by multiple workstations. The sofware runs in OpenWindows and SunView on Sun-3s, Sun-4s and Sun-386i's. The software licenses float. Lee Moore (moore.wbst128@xerox.com) Xerox Webster Research
