Doug, in terms of technology this is fantastic news. Should I put all my money in FAXX? <gg> Check it out: Wednesday March 18, 6:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: FaxSav FaxSav Introduces the Virtual Fax Server Harnessing Internet Technology Now Allows a Completely Scalable Desktop Faxing Solution for both Sending and Receiving Faxes EDISON, N.J., March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- FaxSav (Nasdaq: FAXX - news), the world's leading Internet faxing company, today announced the launch of its second generation of software products and services which complete a fully functional and accountable Internet faxing solution for PC users. Today's announcement removes the need for companies to invest in costly fax hardware and software and sharply reduces the associated maintenance and upgrade costs. FaxSav's new FaxCourier service allows users to receive their faxes to email -- no matter where in the world they happen to be, and FaxLauncher Pro software allows them to fax documents from any PC through the Internet to any fax machine in the world. The combination enables customers ranging from global enterprises with thousands of users to the individual road warrior to communicate via fax with the same ease and convenience as email, but with the reliability and universality of fax. Both of these capabilities are made possible through the FaxSav Global Internet Fax Network which offers full accountability for the receipt and delivery of faxes. Tom Murawski, CEO of FaxSav, commented: ''FaxSav's mission is to offer its customers cost-effective communications solutions that make them more productive saving them soft and hard dollars in the process. Today we are taking a major step forward, making the virtual fax server a reality -- all of the benefits of desktop faxing without the investment and maintenance costs of fax servers.'' Joseph J. Kowalski, President of Capitol Management, a management consulting company based in Hopewell, NJ, said: ''We have been using FaxSav for all our outbound faxing requirements for over 12 months and have been impressed with how easy and convenient desktop faxing is around the world. We welcome the new features available with FaxLauncher Pro which will enable us to personalize our faxes and closely follow their transmission progress. In addition, the capability to receive our faxes straight to the desktop via FaxCourier is a fantastic service which will both improve productivity and cut out the endless journeys to the fax machine in search of an expected document.'' About FaxCourier FaxCourier enables customers to route faxes straight to their email address. A local or toll-free fax number in the FaxSav Network is allocated to the user. All faxes sent to these numbers are automatically converted to a standard TIFF file format and forwarded as attachments to email to the customer's email address. Users can view or print their faxes using standard, freely available TIFF viewing software. About FaxLauncher Pro FaxLauncher Pro is an outbound Internet faxing solution that lets users send faxes straight from their PCs, desktops or laptops, avoiding the need to print out the document and send it from a traditional fax machine or install and use other fax hardware such as modems or fax servers. FaxLauncher Pro offers customers several key features including: -- Custom Cover Pages, providing users with the capability to store their customized cover page, logo, or letterhead in a FaxLauncher cover page template. -- Account Code Support, to help users track fax costs by department or project, via individual numeric codes which are then reported in FaxSav detail reports. -- Real-Time Fax Status Checking, giving users the ability to obtain the delivery status of their fax 'on demand' rather than waiting for an email delivery notice. -- Off-line Queuing, giving dial-up users the ability to create faxes while off-line and send them when they connect to the Internet. -- Management of Sent Faxes, enabling users to save copies of sent faxes on computer for future retrieval, or for easy resending or redirecting. About FaxSav Headquartered in Edison, New Jersey, FaxSav is the leading company in the Internet fax market. FaxSav deploys a global Internet-based network of nodes that enables it to bypass long-distance carrier networks when sending faxes to or from international areas serviced by these nodes.

Through FaxSav's software and global Internet network, customers using fax machines, scanners, network servers, PCs, MACs, email and the Web can send documents or images over the Internet to any fax machine in the world.
