From the QCOM board. Nice if a similar feature could be incorporated into car kits for G* phones - putting your regular cell phone in touch with the car kit. To: Craig Schilling who started this subject From: Cooters Thursday, Jan 4, 2001 11:28 AM ET Respond to Post # 91222 of 91229 Vox2 Increases Line of Supported Phones; Vox.Link Merges Cellular Phone with Traditional Phones in the Home and Office --From AOL.-- Cooters LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 4, 2001--Vox2 Inc., a communications solution provider, announced today that its Vox.Link, a wireless device that merges a cellular phone with all the standard phone lines in the home or home office, is now available for Motorola cellular phones. Vox.Link now works with three of the world's best-selling wireless brands - Nokia (NYSE:NOK), Motorola (NYSE:MOT) and Ericsson (Nasdaq:ERICY). The new Vox.Link model is debuting at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Jan. 6-9 (Booth #19511, Gold Lot). The first units for Nokia and Ericsson debuted last fall. "We're pleased to support the world's second most popular cell phone brand," said Michael Hoeffler, chief executive officer of Vox2 (www.vox2.com), which developed the Vox.Link. "Motorola users can now take advantage of a unique product that helps them stay constantly connected." The new Vox.Link Model 131 will support five models of Motorola StarTAC(R) phones and five models of Motorola Timeport(TM) phones. These cellular phone models are offered by Verizon Wireless, Cingular Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Sprint and many others. Vox.Link merges a cellular phone with existing home or office phones. The device is a cellular base station that plugs into a phone jack, allowing wireless calls to be answered on every phone in the user's home or office. The base station simultaneously recharges the cell phone battery. A distinctive ring sets a wireless call apart from standard landline calls. Outgoing wireless calls can be made from any standard phone. The Vox.Link gives wireless customers an extra phone line and lets users benefit from free and low-priced calling plans provided by most cellular services. Vox2 is also increasing its support for the current Nokia and Ericsson Vox.Link models. The new Vox.Link Model 112, which will also be shown at CES, supports Nokia's 5185i and 5180 cell phones. These CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) phones are offered by carriers including Verizon Wireless and Sprint. Other Nokia cell phones that work with Vox.Link include the 6160-6162 series, 6120, 5160 and 5120. Vox2 also announced that its Vox.Link for Ericsson will now work with cell phone models R280LX and A1228AX, sold by AT&T Wireless. Other Ericsson cell phone models supported by Vox.Link include the T18LX, T18d, LX588, KF788 and KH668 phones. The new Vox.Link models will be available for purchase later in the first quarter of this year. The Vox.Link is available for purchase from Hello Direct Inc. (Nasdaq:HELO). The Vox.Link retails for $199.99. About Vox2 Founded in 1999, Vox2 Inc. is a provider of communications solutions for the home and wireless markets.

That's why we use Electors.. So in case it is decided that you are not really "intellectually qualified" to cast your vote for President.. Come on, P, you're not that dumb. There are important reasons for the electoral college. One is to insure fairness for the smaller states. If it were simply a matter of popular vote then all you city slickers would be the only ones electing the Prez. And our candidates would NEVER campaign in Des Moines because those podunk farmers are only worth a coupla thousand votes. Easily outnumbered by one city of retirees in Florida, or a coupla labor unions in Pontiac, Michigan. At least the electoral college makes sure that voters in New Mexico don't get completely ignored in favor of the jumbo population centers of New Yawk, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, etc. But I'm sure you knew this.
