WeatherTrac WIN32 Software Available Only For Quorum Legacy Systems as of January 1, 2002

Quorum Communications, Inc. recently announced the discontinuation of the Worldport and PRO hardware, which, along with the previously discontinued Explorer and APT/WEFAX-II, were the only hardware that WeatherTrac WIN32 supported. Thus, no new analog product based systems are being quoted as of January 1, 2002, and all expired quotes for complete analog systems based on WeatherTrac WIN32 will not be renewed.

No decision has been made to replace the hardware and port to another analog hardware platform.

The WeatherTrac WIN32 software will be made available as a software only upgrade to legacy Quorum hardware owners.

WeatherTrac WIN32 Now Supports Legacy Quorum PRO, EXPLORER(16KFIFO), WORLDPORT, APT/WEFAX-II...
