FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information contact: American TeleRep, Inc. Tel: (203) 644-1708 Fax: (203) 648-9587 Objects are Faxing with Fax/PM 3.0 the Industry's First DSOM based Fax Solution for OS/2. Paris, France, June 3, 1994 - Microformatic is now shipping Fax/PM 3.0, the Client Server version of its Award Winning fax application for OS/2. It is the first network fax solution to take advantage of IBM's latest object technology - DSOM (Distributed System Object Model) which gives a user the ability to transfer objects across the network. DSOM is the underlying object base of IBM's future framework Open Doc. OpenDoc is designed to run software across multiple operating systems from Macintosh to Windows to OS/2 to Unix. OpenDoc is an industry standard endorsed by Lotus, Apple, Borland, IBM, Novell, WordPerfect, Oracle, Taligent, and Xerox. Fax/PM is a 32-bit, multithreaded, multitasking, send and receive fax software package that is completely object architected. For example, each entry in the phonebook is an object. All of the information pertaining to the entry such as name, fax number, phone number, address, etc. are stored in a notebook and can be accessed by opening the object's settings. The object architected design also applies to distribution lists, fax jobs, E-Mail, modem drivers, LAN users, etc. LAN independent, Fax/PM runs on Lan Server, Novell, TCP/IP. It will also work without a LAN by utilizing NetBios as the transport layer. The features include: Native printer drivers for OS/2 and Win-OS/2; supports all system fonts (including true type) and graphics; supports Class 1 and Class 2 modems; multiple, user definable channels; multiple phone lines in both send and/or receive mode; workgroup and private phonebooks; E-mail; file transfer; and restart check point (When there is a problem in a fax transmission Fax/PM resumes transmission from point of failure.). Jean-Jacques Fouchet, President of Microformatic S.A. (Paris, France) says; "We are very excited to see the direction taken by IBM in their continued development and support of OS/2 in version 2.1. We were one of the first European developers to adapt this environment several years ago, and have watched a steady stream of improvements, particularly for real-time communications software such as our, since day one. Our SOM based product line will give us the ability to provide our customers with products that integrate voice, data, and fax features. Also, the object orientation of OS/2 and its level of integration is cleaner - definitely a cut above other choices."

FAX/PM 3.0 CLIENT / SERVER PRODUCT INFORMATION Fax/PM Client Server is the FIRST full 32-bit DSOM (Distributed Systems Object Model) based fax application for OS/2. Fax/PM Client-Server allows you to harness the power of OS/2's true pre-emptive multitasking and object oriented capabilities. Faxing is as easy as printing to the Fax/PM printer. In addition to faxing ability Fax/PM C/S has the ability to transfer files and perform E-mail between workstations which have Fax/PM. What is DSOM? DSOM stands for Distributed Systems Object Model. DSOM is IBM's latest technology which allows applications to share objects across a network. Why is being DSOM based so important? #1 Objects are the future! DSOM is underlying object base of IBM's future framework OpenDoc. OpenDoc utilizes a kernel giving you the ability to run software across multiple operating systems, from Macintosh to Windows to OS/2 to Unix. OpenDoc is the standard designed and endorsed by Lotus, Apple, Borland, IBM, Novell and WordPerfect. Utilizing DSOM today gives you power and flexibly tomorrow. #2 Objects are easy! Fax/PM client server brings the power of OS/2 object orientation to network faxing. For example, each individual phone book entry is an object. All the information on an individual - such as fax number, name, address, phone number, company, position, ect.- can be obtained by clicking with the right-hand mouse button and opening the settings. This also applies to distribution lists, fax jobs, and E-mail. They're all objects. #3 Objects are transferable! With Fax/PM Client-Server, individual phone book entries, distribution list, and fax jobs are all objects. Fax/PM, because of its DSOM base, gives the ability to transfer ANY object between workstations allowing for easy E-mail and file transfer routines. 32-bit multithreaded, multitasking software Fax CCITT Group 3 - Class 1 and Class 2 improves performance. modems.
