CYBERCOM accepting orders for Preview/Beta copies of AccuCount/2.

AccuCount/2 is the first true 32bit, full featured, multi-threaded, multi-process, integrated, OS/2 based business management and accounting application!!

Check out our press release on IBM's Software Home Page!!!

AccuCount/2 Update:

Beta Testing
Cybercom is currently offering AccuCount/2 as a Preview/Beta Package. At this time, we would like to update you on the progress of AccuCount/2 as well as invite you to preview and beta test our program. We are looking for testers for various components of AccuCount/2 as well as the package in it's entirety.

By participating in our beta program, we would like you to use, abuse and thoroughly test our beta modules and program. The beta application (all modules) will not have full functionality though we intend to include as much functionality as possible. Currently, the print engine and import filters are not yet ready for beta - though we are striving to have them complete by the first beta. We are currently completing the new print engine for our application.

Development status
Currently, 80% of all input screens have been generated. Modules are currently being tested at various Alpha sites - though with one exception, the modules have not yet been linked together. We plan, by thoroughly testing and debugging each module before adding it to the whole, to minimize any errors in the complete code. Further testing of the code will commence at Alpha test sites in 2 weeks when most of the modules will be interoperable.

Screen shots and more info
Keep an eye on the web page for more information as well as screen shots that will be updated fairly regularly. More information can be found at: cybercom@ibm.net or: rmauro@ibm.net.

New Features in FaxWorks for OS/2.

OS/2 Fax Software Adds Internet Faxing and Voice in Major New Release

Keller Group, developer of the OS/2 fax software sold as "FaxWorks for OS/2" and "PMfax", has added voice telephony, Internet faxing, Internet Relay Systems and many other features in a new version 3 release. IBM has shipped the updated "Lite" version of FaxWorks for OS/2 in OS/2 Warp 4 (Merlin), and the full-featured retail products are ready and available now for use on both OS/2 Warp 3 and Warp 4.

The new Internet support in the retail products integrates with OS/2 Internet e-mail products to provide "fax for free" delivery. Any of the fax, voice, text and data items in the new Universal Log can be "faxed" via e-mail. For recipients who are using the OS/2 products, the retrieved e-mail items are automatically decoded and appear in the Universal Log as received items.

Internet Relay Systems are also supported, such as faxing to your local office, routing the fax to your overseas office via Internet, then delivering the fax with a local call at the overseas location. Any site with an Internet connection and an inexpensive fax modem (or any of the many supported fax hardware types) can be a node in a public or private Internet Relay System.

Voice support for fax modems and Brooktrout cards is also provided in version 3, including use of OS/2 Multimedia audio and scripts for voice mail, fax-on-demand, remote retrieval of voice and fax items, forwarding and paging. You can forward your fax and voice messages to another telephone number, or forward them via e-mail for Internet retrieval anywhere in the world. Other features include new cover sheets, modem sharing, edit tools, archiving, priority sending and a REXX API.

The version 3 LAN product builds on the multiline, multiserver and hardware-independent features by adding more types of automatic fax routing (T.30, CSID, DTMF, DID, line and OCR), smart retransmission, improved routing and maintenance and Notes gateway, and other features.

Keller's new web page has complete details on the new features. The latest voice scripts, REXX documentation and utility programs are also available for viewing and downloading from the web page. The version 3 product is available from Keller's publishers, including Global Village Communication (FaxWorks Pro for OS/2 products, 1-800-329-9675, stand-alone $129, upgrade $69, LAN version $499) and NiteHawk / Open Port (Corporate PMfax products, 614/477-8801). Please contact Mark Ahlstrom at Keller Group with any questions: 612/429-7273, fax: 612/653-1987
