F/X Communications and Serenity Systems

F/X Communications and Serenity Systems have agreed to explore a future relationship to enhance the Internet connectivity features and functions of eCS. This agreement recognizes the respect Serenity Systems has for the quality of F/X Communications' products and technologies, as well as the importance F/X Communications attaches to the success of eComStation.

Though the significance of this relationship as attached by the vendors, will not be immediately evident, there is at least one immediate action taken by the companies. That is an agreement to include the InJoy 2.3 Extended Dialer in the eCS GA product. See www.fx.dk/injoy/product_info.html for general information and a list of product features at www.fx.dk/injoy/features.html. A list of features is included at the end of this note.

"It's my opinion that including the InJoy Dialer provides eCS with a world class connectivity option to the Internet." according to Bob St.John, Director, Serenity Systems. St.John continued, "The real significance of this function will be more important as eCS extends to a new users who have no previous experience with InJoy and other F/X Communications' products."

Special Terms and Conditions for eCS users will be in effect. eCS InJoy users are not entitled to free upgrades to other InJoy products. eCS InJoy users are not entitled to free tech support from F/X Communications. Support will be available at no charge through eComStation newsgroups or as a fee service from F/X.
