| ==========================

| JOPPA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
| PRODUCT UPGRADE ANNOUNCEMENT
|
| From C.S. Smeton
|
| The new send/receive FAX program from Joppa Software Development, titled:
| "STraight FAX!", will work with Class 2 compliant send/receive FAX modems
| and SendFAX modems (in send only mode).
|
| We will be premiering this product at the TAF show in Toronto on April
| 4-5, 1992. Also, we have been tentatively scheduled for an Online GEnie
| conference on Wednesday, March 25, 1992 at 10:00 PM in the ST Roundtable.
|
| The FAX/modems that we have tested so far are the new Supra 2400/9600 and
| the Zoom 2400/9600 FAX/modems.The Supra 9600/9600 and 14400/14400 FAX
| modems should also work when they are released. We will be posting a list
| of known modems that work with our software, as the list grows.
|
| The thing to check out is the manufacturer of the chip set and the
| revision of the firmware, while there are only a few chip manufacturers
| actually making the chips and firmware, there are many FAX/modem
| manufacturers that use these chip sets. The Zoom and Supra FAX/modems that
| we have tested use various chip sets and firmware available from Rockwell.
| Sierra chip sets should also work with out any problems. Here is what
| anyone can do to see if a FAX/Modem is compatible with our software:
|
| From a terminal program at 2400 baud...
|
| Type:
| AT+FMFR? (followed by a carriage return)
| The response will indicate the chip manufacturer.
|
| Type:
| AT+FREV? (followed by a carriage return)
| To determine the firmware revision.
|
| Type:
| AT+FMDL? (followed by a carriage return)
| To determine the modem model
|
| Type:
| AT+FCLASS=? (followed by a carriage return)
| to determine what protocol Classes the FAX/modem supports.
|
| If the response is: 0,2 Then the modem supports Class 2
| 0,1 Then the modem supports Class 1
| 0,1,2 The modem supports Class 1 & 2
|
| Currently STraight FAX! does not support Class 1, but support for these
| FAX/modems may be added if there is sufficient demand. Most new FAX/modems
| will support Class 2.
|
| You can also type:
| ATI4 (followed by a carriage return)
| To determine the manufacturer.
|
| Also if the response to any of the above is ERROR, then the modem does not
| support the feature that is being checked.
|
| Anyone can send the terminal program buffer capture of the above typed
| commands to our GEnie mail address (JOPPA-SOFT) and we will attempt to
| determine if the modem is supported.
