London, UK, 14 December 1999 - GFI, leading developer of fax server software, today announced the release of its new Eicon PRI drivers, making the FAXmaker fax server range one of the first to support Eicon Technology's new DIVA Server PRI-30M. By supporting this new interface card, FAXmaker now grants users the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the Primary Rate Interface (PRI) telephone service. Used with FAXmaker, the DIVA Server PRI-30M allows users to send/receive 30 faxes at a time, by offering greater bandwidth for fax transmission.

"GFI is delighted to be among the first to provide support for the DIVA Server PRI-30M from Eicon Technology, a leading worldwide provider of remote access products. This will offer all FAXmaker customers greater convenience and speed in their fax transmissions," Nick Galea, president of GFI affirmed.

"By supporting this new board from Eicon, FAXmaker can be installed to use 30 fax lines with the board and can also just take a couple of lines for fax and leave the rest for e-mail, telephone, and remote access. DDI routing can also be used," Mr. Galea said.

Eicon Technology is equally pleased with GFI's support of the card.

"GFI's choice for Eicon's DIVA Server PRI as a platform for their Faxmaker range, confirms Eicon's status as market leader in this field, " said James Besley, General Manager Eicon Europe. "As a leading vendor of NT-based fax server software, GFI needed a world-class ISDN interface card to complement their product. Eicon is delighted that the high performance, high functionality DIVA Server PRI-30M ISDN card is used to create a solution that is both extremely reliable and very easy to use".

Eicon Technology's DIVA Server PRI solutions are exceptionally powerful, active ISDN cards which offer high-speed PRI ISDN connectivity to corporations with large volumes of remote users.
