FAXCilitate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FAXCilitate was a Macintosh computer program that was bundled with PSI (Pinnacle Sales International) modems. PSI bought the rights to FaxSTF and bundled it with their ComStation and PowerModem hardware. Supra, Inc. later bought PSI. The software was then bundled with Supra and Diamond Multimedia brand modems from 1995 - 200x.

FAXCilitate was based originally on a source code license purchased from STF Technologies (STF). STF was later purchased by Smith Micro.

FAXCilitate as written by a team of engineers: Jeffrey G. Backes, Scott Francis, Doug Troxel, Jason Collins, Mitch Fry, Dave, Mike are just a few of the engineers that worked on FAXCilitate.

Apart from the ability to send and receive faxes using class 1 fax modems, FAXCilitate is best know for adding a fax menu to the system menu bar. Every application that could print could send a fax.

FAXCilitate/STF was original written in PASCAL and was ported to C for the PPC processor.

FAXCilitate was also bundled as part of the Supra VoiceMail application sold by Supra and Diamond Multimedia.
