I believe its do Nov. 15 Here's some news on InnoMedia Click Here! Back to: Home / Internet & Multimedia / Applications & Software / IP Telephony 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. About InfoTalk InfoTalk incorporates a modem, processor, and all of the necessary Internet access technology to make Internet calls fast, convenient and user-transparent, all without a computer. InfoTalk includes a convenient LCD display and front panel buttons for easy installation and call monitoring. InfoTalk even supports Caller ID and Call Blocking and includes a timer/alarm. The Transmit/Receive Rate Indicator and Performance Tuning features let users evaluate network conditions and ISP connections, and fine-tune the voice quality. Packet Loss Monitoring tells users when to postpone their call due to Internet overloading.
