User Guide

Welcome

Welcome to the next generation of Telex/Fax/400 - our 32-bit WorkStation software for Windows
95/98 and NT4. With this software, Telex/Fax/400 messaging services can be made available at the
users workstation with just a simple TCP/IP connection to your AS/400.

Why TCP/IP?

TCP/IP is rapidly being adopted as the communication protocol standard. Because of this, vendors
including IBM and Microsoft are shipping support for TCP/IP as standard in their latest operating
system releases.

The TCP/IP protocol is one level removed from your local area networking protocol and may be run
over Ethernet or Token Ring networks quite transparently, the interface drivers being supplied by the
operating system.

By using the TCP/IP protocol to communicate between the WorkStation client and the Telex/Fax/400
host system, the need for any third party connectivity software is removed thereby saving cost and
valuable system resources.

As an added bonus, the TCP/IP subsystems are very fast since they are intended to handle large
volumes of network data. This makes the WorkStation client software extremely responsive when
compared to other connection methods.
