New York, 10 May 1999 – GFI, leading developer of fax server software, today launched the new version of FAXmaker for Exchange, version 6.0. Ideal for large and small businesses alike, the new version offers a wide range of enterprise level features at an attractive price.

Nick Galea, president of GFI says: “FAXmaker for Exchange 6.0 now includes many enterprise level features that formerly were only available in expensive fax server products. Besides, because it supports an impressive range of hardware, ranging from a fax modem to an ISDN card or an enterprise fax board such as Brooktrout or Gammalink, FAXmaker is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses as well as large corporations.”

One of the first ever fax connectors for Microsoft Exchange server, FAXmaker for Exchange was recently awarded the CTI Magazine 1998 Product of the Year Award for its tight integration with Exchange Server. Version 6.0 builds on the strengths and success of previous versions, and adds important new high-end features such as:

• remote user and fax server administration
• least cost routing,
• user configuration profiles,
• remote viewing of fax server status,
• enhanced document rendering, and
• an API toolkit using Comm objects.

FAXmaker for Exchange 6.0 now also includes Outlook fax forms that add fax options such as scheduling, resolution and billing codes to the Outlook menu. Additionally, in the new version, incoming faxes are distinguished from e-mails by a fax icon in the e-mail Inbox.

The new version also includes macros for Microsoft Word, enabling users to create personalized fax mailings by means of the powerful Microsoft Word mail merge helper.

As FAXmaker for Exchange 6.0 also includes an advanced API toolkit based on Comm objects, any application can be programmatically fax enabled. Samples for Microsoft Word, Access, Visual Basic and Excel are included in the product. Other new features are header and footer texts, advanced modem options, and support for more ISDN devices.
