** These are minimums for a basic, one or two port OmniRush server used for faxing and for no software other than OmniRush. Note that when OmniRush is used with a CRM system (e.g. ACT!, GoldMine, SalesLogix, etc.) the OmniRush Server PC must meet at least the minimum requirements of the CRM software, which may require faster hardware than listed above. Note that heavy workloads, more than three modules, or more than two fax lines may require faster hardware.

Recommended Minimum Server:

1.1 ghz or higher, 512 MB RAM, 20 GB Free disk space, supported operating system
Brooktrout TruFax or TR1034 interface for hardware based faxing (Be sure to see the list of supported models)
