easy-to-use telephony product from innomedia eliminates telephone charges without inconvenience
October 21, 1998 SANTA CLARA--Calif. via NewsEdge
Corporation -- Oct. 20, 1998--People can
now call anywhere in the world without long
distance charges and without the annoyance
of pre-scheduling the call by simply using an
ordinary telephone! InnoMedia today
announced InfoTalk(TM) Version 2.0, a new
version of the company's revolutionary
Internet Telephony device. Connected
between a standard telephone and the wall
jack, the self-contained InfoTalk 2.0
seamlessly and transparently routes long
distance calls over the Internet.
Incorporating two separate patent-pending
technologies, InfoTalk achieves optimum
voice quality as Internet traffic conditions
and bandwidth constraints change. When the
Internet gets busy, InfoTalk's unique multiple
compression algorithms and automatic quick
packet recovery ensure the best possible
Internet voice quality and lowest delay
possible.
Heralded as a breakthrough product when
first released, the updated InfoTalk Version
2.0 provides a host of new convenience and
performance enhancing features. The major
new features include: SaveDial, SpeedDial,
SmartScript, Internet Test and Automatic
Upgrade notification.
-- SaveDial enables calls free of long
distance charges without
prearranging the calling time. Callers simply
dial the desired
number as they normally would, then press a
key and hang up after
one ring. InfoTalk automatically notifies the
call recipient, and
transparently initiates the Internet
connection for both sides.
-- SpeedDial lets users automatically redial -
over the Internet -
parties they have previously called. This
makes the use of the
InfoTalk much easier and the voice
connection much quicker.
-- SmartScript automatically - and
intelligently - determines
whether a user's new Internet account
requires a login script. If
it does, SmartScript auto-detects and
auto-creates the script.
-- Internet Test (ISP Test), a handy
one-step feature, tests the
Internet login process and the Internet
connection.
-- Notify Upgrade allows users to decide if
they want to be notified
automatically of new firmware upgrades. If
the users select the
default notification, when new versions
become available, the
users are notified on-screen whenever they
use their InfoTalk.
Users also have the option to choose "no
notification" if they
are not interested in hearing about new
upgrades. It's that
simple! Users define their preferred version.
