InfoInterActive Announces Internet Call Manager for Linux Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 14:45:50 -0500 InfoInterActive Announces Internet Call Manager for Linux BEDFORD, NS, Dec. 13 /CNW/ - InfoInterActive Inc. (TSE: IIA), the leading application service provider of Internet call management services, announced today Internet Call Manager for Linux along with a comprehensive strategy to involve Linux developers in the creation of future services. The move extends InfoInterActive's services to a rapidly growing and influential segment of computers users and also expands its client software availability, which currently includes Windows and Macintosh platforms. Internet Call Manager is the world's first personal call management application for handling telephone calls as they happen while consumers are on-line. First introduced in 1997, ICM now includes a full suite of services empowering Internet users to fully manage their calls in real-time. For dial-up Internet users, ICM solves the dilemma of frequent busy signals, and has become the leading, cost-effective alternative to an additional phone line. The Linux version of Internet Call Manager will be released in three stages beginning the first quarter of 2000. First, a binary client will be released to allow the Linux community to acquaint itself with the product's real-time Internet call management capabilities. The source code for the user interface will then be made freely available, allowing the imagination and creativity of Linux users and developers to create new variations of the product. The third release will include the free source code for the entire client including the protocol for communicating with InfoInterActive's servers. This three-stage release will allow InfoInterActive to incorporate valuable feedback from the Linux users to ensure maximum portability across Linux variants. Interested parties can register their interest in this release at infointeractive.com. This site will become a repository for Linux contributions and a forum for suggestions, questions and other feedback. InfoInterActive brings considerable experience in the open source movement. David Trueman, director of engineering at InfoInterActive, is known as one of the principal developers of GAWK, a scripting language now distributed with Linux and other free and commercial operating system distributions. Trueman was elected Canadian Internet Person of the Year in 1995 for his contributions to CSuite, a free Linux-based distribution that facilitates community-based access to the Internet. "Linux users are innovative thought leaders in the computer industry and we are delighted to provide them with open access to our software," says Trueman. "The track record of the Linux development community in producing innovative applications is already impressive." InfoInterActive is the industry leader in the development and deployment of network-based enhanced services combining telephone, Internet and wireless technologies. In 1997, the company launched Internet Call Manager, the world's first service to allow Internet users to monitor and manage calls while their phone lines are busy engaged on an Internet session. IIA globally markets ICM directly to end users, and through telephone companies, Internet Service Providers, Enhanced Service Providers and other value-added channels. The company holds US and Canadian patents for the relevant technology and has patents pending in 26 other countries worldwide. See www.infointeractive.com for further details.
