Windows 95 only
Not for Windows 3.1 or 3.11

BBS, Internet, Fax, E-mail, Modem, ISDN, Baud, Upload, Download. These are common words of today, but 10 years ago most people hadn't heard of these words. Modern technology and computer verbiage are with us. As technology advances, time is compressed and the demands to do more in a shorter period builds. Quarterdeck has recently introduced Procomm Plus 95, a 32 bit communications program. Procomm 95 is a seamless communications program that gives you the freedom of point-and-click access to everything you need.

At the heart of Procomm Plus for Windows 95 is the Connection Directory. Users no longer need to maintain separate directories for their communications needs as they can access their data, fax, voice telephone numbers, Internet mail, Web, Telnet, FTP and news reader entries from a single, intuitive interface. In addition, Procomm Plus for Windows 95 contains numerous communications tools for the novice user to the most savvy user.

Whether you want to send or receive a fax, download a file from the office, connect to a favorite BBS or your company's Intranet, access a file on another computer next door or across the planet, Procomm Plus for Windows 95 give you the power to access the information you need most.

Procomm has a great history of providing bullet proof communications for many years. Having started in the DOS operating environment and progressing to the Windows 95 version each evolution has been wonderful. Quarterdeck has remembered the customer and the needs of the customer.

Procomm Plus 95 is a true integrated communications center offering fax, file transfer and terminal emulation, Internet services (including web browsing, mail, news, and FTP), and the new Procomm Remote to connect with a home or office PC--all available within a single easy-to-operate control center. Using 32-bit technology Procomm Plus 95 makes the most of Windows 95's 32-bit power, using advanced techniques like TAPI, long file names, multithreading, and ActiveX technology--and the ability to run all its communications solutions simultaneously.

Procomm Plus 95 is Powerful and adaptable providing easy connections to another computer using any method--modem, LAN, ISDN, direct cable, or through a gateway. You can develop your own advanced communications solutions with Procomm Plus's ASPECT scripting language. Using Aspect, you can automate all your frequent PC communications tasks, and even design your own custom interfaces or communications applications.

Procomm Plus for Windows 95 delivers high-speed file transfers, and fast screen-refresh technology means you won't spend valuable (and expensive) time waiting for information to display.

The Fax Viewer includes image zoom, rotation (for faxes received upside-down, annotation tools and fax deskew straightens out crooked faxes . Fax Cleanup eliminates "specks" and other transmission artifacts . No fax program would be complete without OCR (optical character recognition) to convert your faxes directly into ASCII text

Group faxes can be scheduled for unattended transmission at a time and date you specify. Procomm Plus 95 supports binary file transfers as well as local and remote polling along with TWAIN-compatible scanners to import images For the SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) Procomm Plus 95 Supports multiple fax modems to send and receive faxes simultaneously. That's right, two modems at once: you do need two phone line though. You can also forward faxes automatically and set up the program to fax automatically to callers who desire a fax call back. This I use to provide data sheets or other information regarding products or services. This is available to callers 24 hour per day as long as you leave the computer running.
