Press Release Body = SOMERSET, England — September 6, 2006 — Mainpine®, an innovator
in the global intelligent fax hardware arena, today announced its RockForce IQ™
intelligent fax board product line. The IQ series is the latest generation of
intelligent fax cards from Mainpine and offers customers a top-of-the-line,
high-speed V.34 (33.6Kbps) fax solution, in an ultra small board format. Engineered
to fit into virtually any system the new boards comply with worldwide environmental
requirements including the European RoHS and WEEE directives.

“Our sixth generation of fax card gives users best-in-class hardware and reaffirms
Mainpine’s unwavering commitment to the analog fax arena by delivering unprecedented
power and speed,” said Kevin Sharpe, Chairman and Founder of Mainpine. “Our
RockForce IQ™ series exceeds customer requirements for performance and reliability,
and represents a major step forward from previous generation products and
competitive offerings. These new boards complement and extend the Mainpine product
line and offer customer’s enterprise-class, intelligent fax hardware at a truly
affordable price.\"

\"Customers using Alt-N’s RelayFax® software have a reliable fax hardware component
that works without fault,\" said Arvel Hathcock, CEO of Alt-N Technologies. “The
RelayFax / IQ combination provides our company and resellers with a competitive
offering to meet the needs of small-to–medium businesses who want a high-performance
and economical fax solution.\"

\"With the introduction of the new IQ boards, Mainpine is providing a complete
product line with its ability to scale from 1 to 8+ ports,\" said John Davis,
President of Data Techniques, Inc. \"The new IQ 1 and 2-port models provide the same
reliability and performance characteristics of the multi-port boards but make a
great option for FaxMan\'s single port customers.\"

“ActFax customers are able to enjoy the fastest speeds in the industry with
Mainpine’s new IQ series intelligent fax boards, said Helmut Vogler, president of
ActFax.”The IQ line is uniquely positioned to provide our customers with
cutting-edge fax hardware in an ultra-slim form factor design.”

Next Generation Intelligent Fax Boards Packed with Features
Building on the successes of its flagship RockForce™ series, Mainpine proactively
worked with its partners, ISVs and customers to develop many advanced features and
design enhancements for its IQ series of fax boards. Users can run the most
demanding, business critical fax applications at anytime without compromise.

• Dramatic Performance and Speed Increases
The RockForce IQ™ series offers blazing performance, further shortening send and
receive transmission times with V.34 and its Intellichannel technology. Unlike
conventional fax hardware offerings, each RockForce IQ™ port has its own dedicated
CPU and DSP, and fully supports the RockForce SideBand™ technology which includes
sophisticated features like automatic per port hardware reset. The RockForce IQ™
card delivers up to 25 percent faster performance than its RockForce™ predecessor.
For most organizations mindful of the bottom line these innovations translate to
substantially lower telephone fax charges and faster delivery of documents.

• Sleeker “Short-Board” Form Factor Design
Ground-breaking design ensures a RockForce IQ™ fax card will fit easily into any
computer system. Measuring just 4.72” x 2.51” (120mm x 64mm), the beautifully
designed RockForce IQ™ fax card is compatible with any PCI or PCI-X system,
including those using Universal PCI signaling (3-volt and 5-volt PC Systems).

• “Low-Profile” or “Standard-Profile” Bracket Option
A low-profile PCI bracket allows sub-miniature servers to be deployed (often without
riser cards) while maintaining full compatible with the PCI specifications.

• Ultra Quick and Simple Install
The new board features Microsoft® Windows® plug and play compatibility with no
manual configuration required. Standards-based installation and programming
interfaces ensure the RockForce IQ™ series intelligent fax cards integrate quickly
and seamlessly with a wide range of system hardware and application software. In
addition, any number or combination of RockForce IQ™ and RockForce™ intelligent fax
cards may be operated concurrently in a system, providing a migration path for
existing RockForce customers.

• RoHS/WEEE
Adhering to Mainpine’s commitment to environmental protection, the RockForce IQ™
cards meet the requirements of the European Union\'s Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directives.
