D -- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGARDING FAX GATEWAY SOFTWARE DUE 041596 POC Contact Christine Dauer at (404)842-6553 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC), Atlanta, Georgia, is interested in pursuing a standard FAX gateway software system that interfaces with Microsoft PC Mail version 3.5 and Microsoft Exchange to be used throughout its locations. CDC is seeking detailed information concerning off-the-shelf FAX gateway software systems. To be useful to CDC, products should support, or be compatible with MS Windows 3.1, Windows 95, MS DOS 6.2, Novell Netware 3.11, and MS Mail 3.2 and later versions of each. Products must communicate effectively on Token Ring Novell Network via IPX/SPX protocol, IP protocol, or DOS redirection and usable across a WAN environment. CDC currently has a number of fax gateways which interface with Microsoft Mail, fax gateways which interface with Windows applications, and stand alone fax machines. This software package would be used at CDC for the reception and transmission of fax items for Government business only. In addition to the compatibility issues, the system will need to provide automated reception of incoming faxes, direct delivery to the proper Microsoft Mail mailbox, full logging of received and transmitted faxes, printing of incoming faxes to network printers, addressing to unlimited number of recipients. Notification of fax delivery to the sender is desired but not mandatory. The FAX gateway should also allow for the reception, transmission and conversion of the following file formats: ASCII text, DCX and PCX image files, and versions of WordPerfect DOS and Windows 5.x and above. The software must also be supported and accessible under the Microsoft Mail Windows and DOS clients. Respondent should provide detailed software capabilities, documentation, user references, and references from current clients. Please note that this is a request for information only, and that no solicitation document for such a system exists at this time. CDC may, however, use information contained from this request, when structuring solicitation documents in the future. NOTE: No solicitation document exists at this time. Interested parties may send information to Christine Dauer, Contract Specialist at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 255 East Paces Ferry Rd., NE, Rm. 419, Atlanta, GA 30305, MS/E01. Do Not Fax information. (0120)
