Ex Compaq execs launch Web portal

have launched an Internet portal company called OfficeDomain Inc.
The Austin-based company's first offering, a messaging service that merges voice
mail, e-mail and fax messaging into a single system accessible via OfficeDomain's

Company officials say the portal site and messaging service will compete with
similar services offered by GTE Corp. in Irving, Texas; eFax.com in Menlo Park, Calif.;

networking and was Networking Products Division vice president when he left Compaq in
