NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 1999--.comfax ("dot-com-fax"), a leading Internet fax

with the convenience of email, will be the exclusive Internet fax/voicemail service for EarthLink's 1.3
million members.

has changed the way we work and communicate."
The new service will be available to EarthLink members through their Personal Start Page - the highly
customizable default launch page utilized by most EarthLink members. MessageClick voicemails and
faxes look like regular emails with attachments. Faxes are opened with standard imaging software
(which is included in most computers) and voicemail messages are received as compressed RealAudio
files.
.comfax will continue to offer fee-based faxing services for users who wish to send faxes or who
prefer 800 toll-free inbound fax numbers. In addition, .comfax plans to introduce an array of new
premium messaging services by the end of the year.
