An intergateway routing function transfers messages between gateways, so you can route incoming E-mail to a pager or incoming faxes to a printer. Users can fax from any application via a Chooser extension. Several miscellaneous features top off CommuniGate's eclectic capabilities. Running native on a Power Mac, CommuniGate is fast, both as a server and as a client. Excellent message logging and diagnostics simplify identifying problems.
Pricing has a complicated, a la carte structure.
The server and local E-mail gateway with 5 client licenses is free. Stalker has at least one additional gateway module, for voice mail, in the works. If you need a wide range of messaging capabilities, and can live with CommuniGate's limitations, this product is a winner.
