It allows any customer with a telephone to access and deliver voice messages, fax mail and e-mail messages from a single message box over the Internet. "Amteva's Unified Messaging Plus combined with "Troopers ISP" provides an open, scalable, extensible unified messaging solution," said Korak Mitra, vice president of messaging at Netscape. "Together our products enable Telcos and ISPs to provide carrier-class unified messaging services to millions of customers."
