OSIRIS TECHNOLOGY RELEASE NEW VERSION OF OSFAX
Osiris Technology has just released the newest version of
OSFAX, an Australian designed and manufactured high perfor-
mance multiuser facsimile management system capable of 9600
baud facsimile transmission and reception.
OSFAX consists of a suite of software, a user manual and a
facsimile modem which connects to a single RS232 serial port
on your host CPU. The OSFAX modem is Austel approved for
the Australian environment.
OSFAX will receive Group 3 facsimiles at 9600 baud. Upon
receipt the facsimiles may be assigned to individual users
who are informed by electronic mail of their incoming fac-
simile. There are OSFAX utilities to support the printing
and viewing of facsimiles on a wide range of devices,
including dot matrix printers.
OSFAX will transmit either PostScript language or plain text
documents via Group 3 facsimile. With OSFAX you can
transmit mixed text and graphics for the best possible
presentation. Transmission is fully automatic, including
automatic retransmissions if errors occur. OSFAX saves money
by not retransmitting pages of a multipage document which
have already been successfully received.
The output of desk top publishing systems may be sent
straight to facsimile. You can send your purchase orders
and invoices directly to the supplier/customer!
OSFAX supports transmission to multiple recipients in one
process. You may send form letters directly by facsimile.
Other special features of OSFAX include:-
o supports programmable page headers, including the total
number of pages in the facsimile, on all pages;
o available for UNIX and proprietary operating systems;
o frees facsimile machine for manual documents;
o accounts for outgoing facsimiles by user and destina-
tion, allowing for billing/costing of communications;
o provides quality output at the receiving end, with near
to laser printer resolution;
o holds a flexible "address book" for frequently called
numbers;
o can automatically send faxes in response to incoming
calls from facsimile machines in poll mode; and
o may be used on same phone line as facsimile machine
(this needs a facsimile to modem switch if the receive
option is enabled).
OSFAX is available on many platforms including:
SUN 3
SUN SPARC (SUN 4 and 5)
MIPS
Pyramid
IBM RS/6000
and any hardware running:
ISC UNIX
Intel System V, release 4
SCO UNIX/Xenix
OSFAX is sold in varying licence sizes, dependent on the
number of terminals with access to the software.
OSFAX is currently installed and operating in many loca-
tions. References can be provided on request. You can pur-
chase OSFAX from a network of dealers. Please contact
Osiris for the name of an appropriate dealer.
