Press Release Summary = Sets Course for Innovation with the Industry's First
Miniature Fax Board Design
that Includes Robust Class 2.0 and 2.1 Support

Press Release Body = WILSONVILLE, Oregon - May 1, 2007 - Mainpine, a leading
industry innovator in the global intelligent fax hardware arena, today announced its
IQ ExpressT fax board product line for PCI-Express bus slots. The announcement of
the world's smallest intelligent fax board marks a paradigm shift in the fax market.
Measuring only 180mm x 80mm (6.60 inches x 2.5 inches), the intelligent fax board
features a sleek, low-profile, short-board form factor design that allows customers
to integrate fax hardware into virtually any system, while fully supporting the most
demanding fax applications.

"Mainpine has thrown down the gauntlet by delivering the smallest intelligent fax
board to the PCI-Express market. We have responded to customer requests for a
compact, intelligent fax device that offers the speed, performance and reliability
that our boards have long been known for," said Lloyd Johnson, president and CEO of
Mainpine, Inc. "Based on our growing market share and ever-increasing momentum among
ISVs, distributors and channel partners, it became clear that customers required
boards that are smaller, faster and more cost-efficient than the traditional
offerings from the fax hardware industry. We're extremely proud to be the only
intelligent board manufacturer to meet - and indeed exceed - these market
requirements."

Key Features
. Compact Size (length: 180mm / 6.60 inches, height: 80mm / 2.5 inches).
Unlike traditional full-length fax boards, the IQ ExpressT features a low-profile,
short-board form factor design which offers customers a much wider choice of host
computer configurations, including ultra compact and low power designs.
. Robust Fax Class 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 Support.
When combined with extensive testing ensures compatibility with the vast majority of
fax applications in the industry.
. Dedicated DSP and CPU per Port.
Unlike competitive fax boards where the CPU and DSP processing is shared between
ports; the IQ ExpressT features an innovative design architecture which features a
dedicated high performance CPU and DSP per port. This guarantees superior levels of
speed, performance and reliability.
. Low-Profile or Standard-Profile Bracket Option.
The low-profile bracket option allows the boards to be used in the smallest systems,
allowing customers greater flexibility when deploying embedded, thin-clients, or
servers. The standard-profile bracket option allows boards to be deployed in
traditional systems with full height slots.
. High-speed V.34 / Super G3 Fax.
Building on the existing RockForceT product line the IQ ExpressT series supports the
highest faxing rates available.
. JBIG Compression.
With data compression rates as high as 80 percent, JBIG significantly reduces fax
transmission and reception times, slashing long distance toll charges.
. Sideband API.
This innovative design feature allows individual ports to be reset by the fax
application without interrupting other ports and without requiring any manual
intervention. This ensures maximum system reliability and represents an important
advantage over other fax devices.
. Supports Microsoft Windows Vista.
Ensuring a seamless transition for Mainpine OEMs, partners and end-users, Windows
VistaT compatibility with the IQ ExpressT product line has been a top priority for
the company's development team.

Availability
The IQ ExpressT one, two, and four port fax boards will be available for general
shipment beginning May 29, 2007. The IQ ExpressT eight port version will be
available in July 2007.
