Chelmsford, Ma. - Biscom Corp. has begun delivery of its new MobileAccess software application that enhances the use of the popular RIM BlackBerry wireless handhelds.

Designed to allow BlackBerry users to view email attachments directly on the device, send and receive faxes, retrieve web content, and print attachments, MobileAccess is a server-based software application that includes 20 user licenses, with additional user license packs available.

MobileAccess incorporates advanced conversion software developed by Biscom's Lincoln & Co. division, which supports over 35 different file formats, using a proprietary technology to ensure accurate conversions and support of the latest versions of the applications.

"Although MobileAccess is optimized for use with BlackBerry handhelds," said S.K. Ho, Biscom's founder and CEO, "the server-based utility will support viewing of e-mail attachments from other PDAs as well. The attachments are converted to plain text and sent as regular email messages and can be conveniently viewed on the small screens of these devices."

MobileAccess ships with client software that integrates "one-click" access to fax, URL viewing and attachment conversion functions directly into the BlackBerry menu system.
