Technologies, a service company that provides computer users with a
"one call does it all" ordering service for all of their ISDN needs.
CyberLink's "ISDN Express" service will provide third party
support between the customer and the ISDN service provider to ease
the process of installing ISDN service.
"The experience of ordering and installing an ISDN line and
coordinating this with ISDN hardware and software can be
painstaking," said Bob Young, vice president of products, Cardinal
Technologies.
"Cardinal has made our ISDN products easy to install and now the
customer can easily get their ISDN service ordered. By partnering
with CyberLink, Cardinal is ensuring that customers will enjoy the
benefits of ISDN without the complexity associated with the
installation of the service."

including an automated electronic mail form on its web page at
cardtech.com or customers may call 888/FOR-ISDN.
CyberLink will provide this free service to customers regardless
of the telephone company or ISDN service provider the customer is
using. CyberLink has strategic partnerships established with such
companies as Pacific Bell, MCI and GTE which enables fast and
efficient service for their customers.
"We're pleased to partner with a company like Cardinal
Technologies that really knows the ISDN market," said Steve Roberts,

adapter at a consumer price point and giving the consumer a free
installation set up service through CyberLink, Cardinal is making
