Englewood, CO Ð After months of delay, Total System Software's DFax fax-modem driver is available from Complete Computer Solutions. DFax will initially support the Supra v.32/v.42bis modem; support for USR, Telebit, ZyXEL, HSD, and Prometheus modems is planned.
DFax is $295, or $145 for user groups and educational users.
Although NeXTSTEP 2.1 and 3.0 include built-in support for the HSD and Interfax fax modems, a third-party fax-modem driver is necessary to use NeXTSTEP with other modems.
DFax joins B&W Software's NXFax as the second third-party fax driver for NeXTSTEP. NX-Fax version 1.03, which shipped in February for $135, includes support for Supra, Telebit, and ZyXEL modems.
Unlike NeXTSTEP's fax driver, both DFax and NXFax allow the same modem to be used for fax and data communications. Additionally, both companies plan to add support for voice and voice-mail in upcoming releases.
