Inter-Tel's Vocal'Net IP Telephony Gateway Named Product of the Year by CTI Magazine PHOENIX, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Inter-Tel, Incorporated (Nasdaq: INTL - news) has received another top industry award from one of the leading trade publications for its Inter-Tel Vocal'Net IP Telephony Gateway. CTI magazine honored Inter-Tel's Vocal'Net with the distinguished ''Product of the Year'' award in its February 1998 issue. After evaluating hundreds of products, CTI called the Inter-Tel Vocal'Net IP Gateway a product, ''that excels at what it does.'' As a ''Product of the Year,'' CTI considers the Vocal'Net one of ''the best computer-telephony integration products available.'' ''With nearly 30 years of telecommunications experience, Inter-Tel has developed a thorough understanding of the IP telephony industry. Our insights gained in the telecom marketplace have been incorporated into every aspect of this product's development,'' said Tom Parise, president and chief operating officer for Inter-Tel. ''The numerous awards we have received for our IP telephony products lend tremendous credibility and validation to our goal of providing application-driven, software-oriented products with our customer's needs as the foundation.'' Using Internet protocol (IP), the Inter-Tel Vocal'Net gateway serves as a bridge between the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and an IP data network. The Inter-Tel Vocal'Net takes a voice phone call, converts it to data and sends it out over an IP network. Another Inter-Tel Vocal'Net at the other end collects the packets and converts them back to a full-duplex call. It enables organizations to communicate full-duplex over IP networks, such as the Internet or private company intranets, for potential savings compared to standard long-distance phone service. Through an alliance with Motorola, Inter-Tel has begun development of an H.323 interface for interoperability between Motorola's VIPR family of gateways and Inter-Tel Vocal'Net gateways. Inter-Tel also intends to develop an H.323 standards-based Gatekeeper to handle IP address resolution, bandwidth management, call restrictions, call event monitoring and call billing. The Gatekeeper will incorporate the Inter-Tel Vocal'Net Call Accounting System (CAS), which manages and monitors accounting and billing functions for pre- paid and billed calling services. Additionally, Inter-Tel intends to develop an H.323 standard voice processing platform to provide IVR functions for pre- paid and billed calling card services. The CTI ''Product of the Year'' award comes on the heels of several other industry awards bestowed upon Inter-Tel for its Vocal'Net IP Telephony Gateway. Computer Telephony magazine celebrated the Vocal'Net with a ''Product of the Year'' award in its December 1997 issue. The ''Good-as-Gold Gateway,'' as the article title expressed, rated it as the ''best overall corporate IP Telephony gateway.'' The Vocal'Net was also awarded an ''Editor's Choice Award'' from CTI magazine in November 1997. That award praised the design and functionality of the Vocal'Net gateway, as well as Inter-Tel's contributions to the advancement of the Internet telephony industry. Other awards earned by the Inter-Tel Vocal'Net gateway include the best of show at Computer Telephony Fall Demo 96 and Computer Telephony Expo 97. Inter-Tel will be exhibiting the Vocal'Net IP telephony gateway at Computer Telephony Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center March 3 - 5 (booth 1643), Internet World Spring at the Los Angeles Convention Center March 11 - 13 (booth 7433), MicroAge Solutions at the Phoenix Civic Plaza March 27 - 28 (booth 1718/1619) and Voice On the Net Spring at the Fairmont Hotel (San Jose, CA, booth 28).

Seth, I did not mean that has a barb by saying I would put some of this information in valuespec.com. I won't include your quote as you requested. I'd like to discuss some of the points about FTEL- IF you want to. I felt it educational to learn more about the marginability of stocks, etc. Maybe now we can discuss the "Listability of Stocks" in the National market or some other point the thread would like to put forth.

All: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Why the hell do you guys bother responding to this jerk? I am starting to get as pissed off at the people that keep responding to him as I am at the instigator himself. Please, stop wasting space here with your responses. The only responses that I believe are worthwhile are the ones that Martin has posted....in response to some of the bad info the loser spreads. Face the facts....this guy is a hemmoroid that won't go away. Stop responding to him PLEASE, and at least I won't have to see 20 notes from this asshole everyday. He likes to annoy you guys, HAVEN"T YOU FIGURED THAT OUT YET? Sickening, but thats how he gets his kicks...since he can't make any money. I don't mean to sound rude, but I am really getting sick of all this banter. (edit - Seth: not solely directed at you...sorry)
