This is the link from Compaq/Wildfire & PacBell Message from Tor Miller ... This WildFire Service apparently has no internet capabilities, thus no competition to GMGC as far as I can see .... biff XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx Ideal for busy people, the Wildfire personal assistant uses speech recognition to manage telephone communications completely hands-free. Recognized by such industry experts as The Yankee Group and The Institute for the Future, and by users as an indispensable tool that dramatically enhances productivity and safety, Wildfire revolutionizes the way people use the telephone. The Wildfire electronic assistant is developed for deployment on several connected industry-standard Compaq ProLiant servers, leveraging the ProLiant's superior scalability, price-performance and reliability. When a user says, "Wildfire," the service activates and responds by saying, "Here I am." Through Wildfire's WildDial Voice Dialing, users can also place outgoing calls hands-free by simply saying "home," "work," "other" or by saying the name of a contact in their address book (WildList). Other service highlights include voice-controlled voicemail (WildMail) and intelligent call waiting (WildWhisper). With a hands-free car kit or earpiece, all of Wildfire's functionality can be accessed without touching the telephone keypad.
