World Number 1 on Fax over IP Market

From the source of Computer-Based Fax 2004-2009 Fax Server market research by Peter Davidson.

In the IP fax sector, with Brooktrout not getting in until late 2004, the market was left to Interstar and a few other vendors. Interstar, which had been in the market for four years and had close ties to Cisco, was totally in control of the IP fax market. The company had a 72.7% share of the market, which grew to $8 million in 2004. Interstar had large companies on its client list, Boeing and Robert Half, to name two, and its customers were using IP fax to the fullest extent.
