New Internet Software Provides Nearly Cost-Free Communication Between
Offline Computers; Software Eliminates Long Distance Phone Charges for
Remote Control and Mobile Users
September 10, 1998
SENECA, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- iCall has
released the world's first software that allows two computers to dynamically
connect to the Internet, exchange information, then disconnect, all without
human assistance.
iCallSignal software is the first release in a new product category: unattended
Internet-access software. This new technology enables remote control and
mobile users to save hundreds TO thousands of dollars in long distance and
international phone charges when accessing distant computers.
Calling it "as revolutionary as it is simple," LAN Times magazine recommends
iCallSignal to any company that needs to link locations for file transfer, backup,
or maintenance, because it provides the link at dial-up ISP rates rather than for
the hundreds of dollars it costs for a dedicated Internet connection. iCallSignal
makes Internet data exchange as simple, immediate, and inexpensive as a local
telephone call.
iCallSignal's technology is application-independent and handles both fixed and
dynamic IP addresses, making it an ideal enhancement for all types of existing
Internet communications software, including file transfer, remote control,
telephony, video conferencing, point of sale reporting, electronic data
interchange (EDI), and remote collaboration.
Sample customer applications:
- Consultant needs access to PC-based fax and voice mail software
while on the road;
- MIS department performs routine maintenance on computers in
remote sales offices;
- Customer support for inventory control company needs remote
access to customer sites;
- Operations manager needs after hours computer access to
out-of-state mfg facility;
- IS for small retail chain pulls point-of-sale data from stores on
an ad hoc basis;
- Remote programmer needs after hours access to company's source
code control database;
- Consulting company uses Internet telephony to communicate with
remote sites.
Currently available for Windows 95 and Windows NT, a 2-computer license costs $129 ($99 if purchased before Oct. 15). A free, full-featured, 30-day demo version of iCallSignal is available on iCall's Web site at www.icall.com.
