April 2, 1999- Amherst, NH- Black Ice Software has released version 2.72 of the Impact FaxÔ Server. The new release includes a Fax Server engine API which was designed for Systems Integrators who want to rapidly build a custom user interface (client) for a fax server, or integrate the fax server with their existing systems. The Fax Server API includes the source code for the "stand alone" client software. The client software includes the Black Ice printer drivers and a fax viewer.
Impact Fax Server integrates seamlessly with MS Exchange or Outlook to provide a universal mailbox for fax and e-mail messages. It offers inbound routing with DID, DTMF, and Subaddressing, advanced TIFF viewer with Annotation and Cover Page Generator, Phonebook, Fax Broadcasting, and Automatic Printing of incoming faxes.

The Impact FaxÔ Server is compatible with any Class 1, Class 2 and 2.0 modem and BICOM, Brooktrout, Dialogic, Gammalink and Natural Microsystem Fax Boards. The Fax Server has a remote administration feature, which may drastically reduce the total cost of ownership.

The updated Activity Monitor generates reports on usage, including the time that a fax was sent or received, the number of pages, and the transmission time. It will also report real time status information and can be configured to send the report via E-mail or fax to the system administrator at specified intervals. Impact FaxÔ Server is available in a small business package for 10-25 Users at $795.00 and as a large enterprise solution that is scaleable up to 255 ports, with support for T1, E1 and ISDN lines.
