Product: WinFax PRO 4.0
Document No.: 6030
Document Date: June 2, 1994
===========================================================================
Subject: WinFax PRO 4.0 Enabling Release

The enabling release updates WinFax PRO 4.0 to include the following:

- Remote Retrieval capability - If you have a Class 1 fax/modem, you can
poll remote fax devices to retrieve faxes. For example, connect to a fax
information service to obtain up-to-the-minute international weather
forecasts. You can also poll your computer from remote locations to
retrieve faxes from your WinFax Receive Log folder. Password and Calling
Station Identifier (CSID) checks ensure the security of polling.

- Fax MailBox capability - When you subscribe to the Fax MailBox service,
you get a unique, private telephone number to deposit or retrieve faxes
and voice messages. You can call into this service from WinFax and
receive the faxes directly into your WinFax Receive Log.
