Is this to good to be true? Will the long wait now bear fruit.The key phrase: "General Magic sells its Portico service through resellers but already has trials in place with 11 providers and expects to announce deployments soon, says Mark Campbell,the company's senior product manager for telecommunications." sites.stockpoint.com\107u0500.htm

Straight, I just glanced over on the Yahoo board and found these two messages. As always, the info you get over there is always suspect. But, his posts concerning the telcos make as much sense as anything I have seen so far. Take care and will be back in a week. Kurt post.messages.yahoo.com Telco deal is here...... by: a_gift_to_all 99689 of 99697 If you need to know, here is how it works. If you don't have PORTICO. You dial your own phone number ( Telco designated ). TELCO CENTRAL OFFICE recognizes that your phone is engaged, routes your call to GMGC through LEASED LINE to your VIRTUAL PERSONAL ASSISTANT (VPA) "a PORTICO with a different name". When a caller dials your phone number ( Telco designated ), if you don't answer your phone or your phone is engaged, TELCO CENTRAL OFFICE recognizes that and routes your call to GMGC through LEASED LINE to your VIRTUAL PERSONAL ASSISTANT (VPA). "OUR SERVICES ARE READY TO DEPLOY" AND IT IS ALL IMHO post.messages.yahoo.com TELCO PRICING..... by: a_gift_to_all 99690 of 99697 TELCO VPA Pricing: Lines and minute use of phone lines are covered by subscribers TELCO, ( regular phone bill ). Cost of VPA would be according to the level of service and plan provided. Messaging and call routing .....under 4 cents a minute. Full service VPA ( Contact, calendar, e-mail, news, stock,) under 10 cents a minute AND IT IS ALL IMHO
