- BLACK & WHITE SOFTWARE SHIPS NXFAX 1.04
-
-
- Black & White Software is pleased to announce the release
- of NXFax 1.04 for NEXTSTEP running on both Intel and NeXT
- hardware.
-
- NXFax is a reliable, high speed, fax solution which
- integrates perfectly with NEXTSTEP on Motorola and
- Intel based computers. Anything you can print you can fax
- just by pressing the Fax button on the Print Panel. You
- read, log, assign, and archive your faxes with the
- NEXTSTEP FaxReader. NXFax works perfectly with your
- favorite data communications programs like UUCP, SLIP,
- PPP, tip, Kermit, and Microphone.
-
- Winner of the Best of Breed award for Communications,
- NXFax is at work in thousands of locations world-wide.
- NEXTWORLD "highly recommends" NXFax, calling it "our
- favorite fax-driver software".
-
-

- Software for $135. You will receive the award winning
- NXFax software plus extensive on-line documentation
- and a password.

-
-
- UPGRADING FROM AN OLDER VERSION OF NXFAX
-
- NXFax version 1.04 runs on Intel hardware and supports
- more different brands of modems than NXFax 1.03. If you
- are still using a NeXTstation or Cube and not changing
- modems, you can keep using version 1.03.
-
- Upgrades to NXFax 1.04 are free for registered customers
- who can retrieve the software from an FTP site or archive
- site (refer to the section "Where To Get NXFax
- Electronically"). There is a $15 handling charge for
- receiving an upgrade via U.S. mail.
-
- NXFax 1.02 users who want to upgrade to NXFax 1.04 must be
- running version 3.0 or higher of NEXTSTEP.
-
- Everyone who upgrades from a prior version of NXFax will
- require a new password. Password updates are free for
- registered users who provide us with a previously
- registered Host ID.
-
- To request a password update, send
-
- First and last name
- Voice phone
- E-mail address
- System Host id
- NEXTSTEP Version
- Modem type and model
-
- Customers with e-mail access are asked to send password
- update requests to nxfax@bandw.com. If you do not have
- e-mail access, please fax your update request to

-
-
- MULTI-ARCHITECTURE FORMAT
-
- NXFax 1.04 is shipped in Multi-Architecture Binary
- format so that it works with NEXTSTEP on both NeXT and
- Intel hardware. NEXTSTEP 3.1 (or later) is required to
- use this version of NXFax 1.04. NEXTSTEP 3.0 users should
- request a special "NeXT only" version of NXFax 1.04
- directly from Black & White.
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INTEL USERS
-
- NEXTSTEP 3.1 for Intel shipped with a serial driver that
- does not work for high speed data and fax communications.
- If you want to install NXFax 1.04 on Intel hardware, you
- must either use NEXTSTEP 3.2 or obtain an updated serial
- driver directly from NeXT.
-
-
- WHERE TO GET NXFAX ELECTRONICALLY

- have FTP access or can receive VERY large NeXTMail (about
