| Important
Note: |
The fax server industry is not as active as
it used to be, due to current market conditions, many
companies have opted out of this sector and therefore
many products are simply not being updated. When choosing
a fax server, consider purchasing for the longer term
and go with a company that still invests in its fax server
offering! |
| August 2001 |
LANsource FAXport no
longer exists - 3COM have discontinued their product.
Several fax companies in Germany have declared bankruptcy

and who are leaders in their market segment: RightFAX,
GFI FAXmaker, VSI fax, Omtool - You don't want to be buying
your software again in a year's time... |
