Delrina joins with the fax network to deliver new fax broadcast service for PC users in Canada.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 1995--Delrina Corporation, the maker of WinFax, the world's most popular fax software, today announced an agreement with The FAX Network of Toronto, to provide an all-Canadian fax broadcast service for PC users, allowing them to send several thousand facsimile messages virtually simultaneously, anywhere in Canada, the U.S., and internationally. The service is offered with Delrina WinFax PRO 4.0 and the Delrina Communications Suite software sold in Canada.

"This is an important step for Delrina in Canada," said Ron Close, Vice President, Delrina Communication Services. "People need the flexibility to communicate with others in the method most comfortable to them. Delrina is aggressively developing fax, voice, paging and data messaging services, and integrating them into our complete line of communications software. This agreement with The FAX Network is our first offering in this fast growing market in Canada."

"We are pleased to link up with Delrina because of the synergy between the two organizations," said Richard Boudreau, President of The FAX Network. "It allows us to tap into a market that would have been prohibitive for us to develop using traditional sales and marketing channels. On the other hand, Delrina gains immediate access to an unparalleled set of features and functionality for enhanced fax services."

According to BIS Strategic Decisions, a market researcher in Norwell, MA, the market for enhanced fax services is expected to grow more than 300% from its current $210 million to $680 million in 1997. Study indicates that finance, publishing, marketing, law enforcement, and government organizations are rapidly adopting fax broadcasting for a wide variety of applications. Delrina already offers Fax MailBox and Fax Broadcast services in the U.S. and the U.K.

To send a broadcast fax PC users simply select the "Services" option in Delrina's WinFax menu bar. Once a document has been saved as an attachment and the list containing the destination fax numbers has been selected, Delrina's software takes care of the rest through one local or toll-free telephone call. Users are able to send documents to up to 300 recipients simultaneously within minutes of clicking "Send" as opposed to hours using a standalone fax program or fax machine.

Users can schedule their broadcast fax for immediate delivery, or at a predetermined time to take advantage of off-peak rates. Delrina's software knows when to take advantage of lower transmission rates. The price to broadcast a fax within selected Canadian cities is 39 cents per minute during peak hours and 29 cents per minute during off peak hours.

The FAX Network is a division of privately held Tricaster Facsimile Systems Inc., owned by Tricaster Management Inc. They are leaders in the provision of enhanced facsimile services in Canada and other countries. Tricaster Management Inc. is owned by the Campbell family of Toronto, well known in the telecommunications industry as pioneers in Cable TV, Stock Market data dissemination (C.M.Q.), paging (Beeper People) and wireless telephony P.C.S. (Telezone).

Founded in 1988, Delrina is a high profile Canadian success story and ranked among the fastest growing software companies in North America. The company develops, markets and supports PC-based software products and services for fax, voice, data communications, electronic forms processing, and consumer markets. Delrina employs more than 600 people with headquarters in Toronto, Canada, and offices in San Jose, CA, Washington, DC, Kirkland, WA, the U.K., France, and Germany.
