New TOPCALL Product Links With and Expands Power of Novell GroupWise WAYNE, PA. (Nov. 19) BUSINESS WIRE -Nov. 19, 1998--TOPCALL Corp. has introduced a new product that provides Novell GroupWise users with a single communications solution for fax, Internet mail, X.400, telex and integrated archiving. According to Ben J. Gall, president of TOPCALL Corp., a leading provider of fax and unified messaging solutions, the new product, TC/LINK-GW, is an extension of the TOPCALL concept of Communications Process Re-engineering (CPR). "Among other things," he said, "it offers enhanced status reporting, least cost routing features and archive retrieval directly from GroupWise clients, and also supports directory synchronization with Novell Directory Services (NDS) and GroupWise scheduling. TC/LINK-GW can be installed directly on the TOPCALL system or on a separate Link server. "The software module, which is fully year 2000 complaint, is available immediately from TOPCALL or through the company's worldwide network of distributors and system integrators." Paul Kemper, Novell's marketing manager, said TOPCALL'S new link software "shows the power of the directory by leveraging NDS. It further improves the close integration between the TOPCALL enterprise fax and messaging system and GroupWise, and reinforces the excellent relationship between our two organizations." Gall noted that the new software module is "fully backward compatible," offering an easy migration path from earlier versions of TOPCALL's solution for GroupWise. "Multiple TC/LINK-GW modules can be installed on different systems to provide fault tolerance and increase total throughput, which is especially beneficial to users who make extensive use of the integrated document conversion facility," he said. TOPCALL delivery and non-delivery notifications are automatically interpreted by TC/LINK-GW and the sending status is updated accordingly in the GroupWise outbox. GroupWise delivery and non-delivery notifications initiate status changes on the TOPCALL system. GroupWise scheduling is fully supported. When a user arranges an appointment for an external address, a message is automatically generated and transferred to the TOPCALL system in GroupWise format. Users can send messages and attachments from any GroupWise client via fax or any other messaging service. Monitoring of TC/LINK-GW is handled by the TOPCALL monitoring console, which post error messages to NT event log. Additionally, SNMP traps are provided for remote monitoring via HP OpenView or similar management consoles. "The combination of TOPCALL's integrated fax and messaging product for users of GroupWise and NDS is a powerful solution for existing Novell customers who have not yet converted to GroupWise 5, as well as for those implementing version 5 immediately," Gall said. A leading provider of fax and unified messaging solutions for medium-size and large organizations, TOPCALL is the world's most frequently selected fax and messaging solution for MS Exchange, Lotus Notes and SAP R/3. The worldwide headquarters of TOPCALL are located in Vienna, Austria. The headquarters for North, Central and South America are in Wayne.
