Clarity Software announces new modules added to free fax software program.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 1997--Clarity Software today announced the release of three new "Fax Pack" administration packages to extend the functionality of MagicFax 97, their unique client/server software product. MagicFax 97 sends faxes worldwide via corporate intranets and the World Wide Web to other MagicFax 97 users free of charge. The new Fax Packs provide advanced management tools, least-cost fax routing, and the ability to integrate stand-alone fax machines into MagicFax networks. The Manager Pack, the first pack in the series, provides system administrators with a variety of tools to monitor and control their global MagicFax 97 web/fax servers and resources. With the Manager Pack, system administrators can configure and maintain servers throughout the corporation. Detailed accounting and server usage reports simplify cost accounting. The Manager Pack also permits controlling server access by such details as fax priority, user, IP address, phone number, time of day and fax size. For faxes sent to recipients not located on a MagicFax server, the new Router Pack automatically routes faxes to the MagicFax server closest to the recipient. The Router Pack will route to backup servers in the case that a primary server is unavailable. The Connector Pack seamlessly integrates standalone fax machines into the corporate MagicFax network. Using an autodialer, fax machine calls are transparently routed to the nearest MagicFax web server for transmission. Unlike other electronic fax products that try to replace fax machines, MagicFax with the Connector Pack allows you to use both traditional and desktop faxing in a single, easily managed environment.
