[comp.sys.next] DoveFax Beta Sites

craig@bandw.uunet (Craig Goss) (11/26/90)

Dove Computer is looking for Beta test sites for the following
third-party NeXT products:

1.   The DoveFax modem offers 2400 baud data communications  
     and 9600 baud fax send and receive under System 2. Any 
     document that can be printed can be faxed.
2.   HSD Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Servant 
     translates text images in received faxes (and other 
     graphic displays) into editable text. Use of the OCR
     Servant is not restricted to fax applications. 

Two Beta test options will be offered. The first includes only the
DoveFax modem, while the second includes both the DoveFax and the
OCR Servant. The OCR Servant is not available seperately. The 
following special purchase options will be offered to selected
sites:
