Interstar's Boardless FoIP Service Provider Fax Server Software Awarded ``Best of Show'' at INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) West 2005.

MONTREAL -- Interstar's XMediusFAX Service Provider (SP) Edition, the World's First Multi-Tenant and Boardless T.38 FoIP Fax Server Software, Was Singled out for Innovation and Quality at Record-Setting VoIP Event

Interstar Technologies, a leading developer of IP telephony technologies, announced today that its XMediusFAX SP T.38 boardless, Fax over IP (FoIP) fax server software has been named a winner of a "Best of Show Award" at Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC(R))'s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference and EXPO West 2005. TMC reports that the conference, attended by over 7,098 people a month ago at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, was the best-attended VoIP conference ever held.

"We are extremely proud that XMediusFAX SP won two Best of Show awards this year," said Martin Demers, President and CEO of Interstar Technologies. "The award reinforces our leadership as the market's only carrier-class, boardless and multi-tenant T.38 FoIP fax server designed specifically for the needs of service providers and large enterprises in VoIP environments."

"Service providers or enterprises will find XMediusFAX SP wins over other fax servers on the market, particularly on scalability. Each XMediusFAX fax server is scaleable to 240 fax channels. Other industry solutions are limited to 96 channels per server, due to reliance on fax boards, which increase fax server implementation time and expenses, and lengthen ROI," said Martin Demers.

"The XMediusFAX Service Provider T.38 multi-tenant, boardless Fax over IP solution was chosen to win the prestigious INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference Best of Show award because of the flexibility it displays in being able to support multi-tenancy, while simultaneously being a boardless solution. Other features, such as OCR-based SPAM filtering, and the ability to also work with boards if needed, show this to be an extremely well thought-out product," said TMC President and Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani.

The Best of Show awards are presented to companies unveiling the most impressive new products or new releases at the INTERNET TELEPHONY Expo show floor. The next INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO will take place January 24-27, 2006 at the Ft. Lauderdale -- Broward County Convention Center in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

About XMediusFAX Service Provider Edition

Interstar's XMediusFAX SP is the VoIP world's first carrier-class, fax server software for service providers and large enterprises. Service providers can increase cash flow by purchasing their own Fax over IP (FoIP) software, instead of re-branding third-party fax services. XMediusFAX SP enables easy packaging, marketing and expansion of fax services per evolving business needs.

XMediusFAX SP differentiators:

--Fault tolerance, built-in clustering and SSL encryption for secure, reliable T.38 FoIP: solid performance for fax outsourcing and email-based faxing, unlike the instability of G.7xx CODECs.

--Scalability to 240 channels. Other industry solutions limited to 96 channels per server because of reliance on fax boards.

--T.38 multi-tenancy partitions service provider and large enterprise networks into hundreds of virtual fax servers, each with individual settings, queues, and administrators. Centralized and secure planning, monitoring, and management of fax services for up to 500 sites.

--Pioneer boardless FoIP: simple installation/upgrade. No fax boards/hardware to manage means reduced costs, greater ROI. Quick upgrade via only a software license adjustment.

--Java API/Web provisioning

--OCR SPAM filtering

--Integration with call control platforms (SIP proxies)
