Commetrex Ships FaxTap
Software Converts Recording of Fax Transaction to Image File

For Immediate Release

Roswell, GA, January 12, 2004 – Commetrex Corporation announced today the immediate availability of FaxTap™. Call-center quality systems, brokerages, government agencies, and other entities have a need to monitor and store fax transactions. In some cases, the monitoring is done by recording the real-time PCM stream for later conversion, if needed, to a viewable format on a post-real- time as-needed basis. FaxTap, a Win32, Linux, or Solaris DLL, is an off-line (post-real-time) software process that converts a recorded PCM file to a TIFF-F file.

According to Cliff Schornak, Commetrex’ CTO, post real time doesn’t mean slow. “In this case, a fax image that might take one minute to receive will be converted in 1-4 seconds on a typical PC. The function of the system is to convert a linear pulse-code modulation (PCM) recording of a facsimile session into the original transmitted image. A report is provided indicating the extent of the success of the conversion in addition to the document properties that can be extracted from the input signal."

FaxTap takes full advantage of Commetrex’ extensive portfolio of field-proven fax technologies, including the fax modems, PortableT30, and the Image Conversion Library.
