Internet Telephony Gateway Software For Under $30 March 5, 1999 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Quicknet Technologies has taken the wraps off a low-density H.323-compliant Internet telephony application, called the Internet Switchboard. The unique selling point of the package is its price -- it sells for $29.95. Yet, despite its low price point, the product has the power and flexibility of much more expensive applications, albeit with a low call density ratio. Stacey Reineccius, the firm's president, said that, with the Internet SwitchBoard, the company is allowing its customers to gain the performance and flexibility of high end systems for a low end price. "We offer H.323 Internet Telephony systems that provide an unmatched feature set for an equally unmatched price point," he said, adding that, with the software, users of the firm's Internet LineJack and Internet PhoneJack can now take advantage of a range of Voice over IP (Internet Protocol) capabilities that have been previously beyond the reach of small businesses and individuals. According to Quicknet, the Internet SwitchBoard package provides the high performance, high quality audio and flexible H.323 based Voice over IP capabilities designed specifically for use in small office and personal applications. The software has a wide array of features, including integrated H.323 support using hardware based audio compression and support for Web800 calling. The Web800 feature, allows businesses to speak with visitors to their Web site. According to the firm, through the addition of a free hyperlink on the Web site, which can be customized for the business' own phone system, visitors can call from the Web into an existing phone system and be automatically routed to the correct person or department. Quicknet's Web site is at quicknet.net .
