Subject: PhoneTech 1.0.1
PhoneTech is a versatile utility that provides many powerful phone-related
technologies that usually require expensive software, special hardware, or
both.
Working through any ordinary modem, PhoneTech provides the following features:
* Includes a compact and easy to use "Phone Book" with which you can store
any number of names and phone numbers for quick access.
* "Keep trying" technology: if the line is busy or there is no answer,
PhoneTech can retry the number periodically until you get through. You don't
even have to pick up the phone until you're successfully connected.
* System wide hotkey allows you to switch instantly between your modem (for
dialing) and your phone (for speaking) from within any application. Work at
your Mac in comfort while PhoneTech toils in the background getting through to
your party.
* Voice mail macros: fight automated phone answering systems with your own
automation! Do you call companies that require you to press 1, then press 3,
then enter your 16-digit account number, then enter your 5-digit password? Now
you can "script" the process and do it all with one mouse click.
* A call timer can show you the accumulated time of phone calls, with an
option to automatically time only long distance calls.
* Keep notes on each entry in your PhoneTech phone book; these notes can be
easily updated, automatically date-stamped, and up to 32K long.
* Sophisticated "import" feature allows you to transfer names and phone
numbers from other databases to the PhoneTech phone book.
* "Listen In" feature turns your modem into a one-way speaker phone. If
you're put on hold, you can use this to listen in on the line without holding
the receiver to your ear.
* Automatic translation of text phone numbers, such as "1-800-SOS-APPL".
* Integration with Qualcomm's Now Contact(tm), so that Now Contact can
automatically use PhoneTech, with its "keep trying" feature and other
capabilities, to dial phone numbers.
* And, as they say, "much more!"
Virtually everyone who spends any time at a Mac has to make phone calls while
they work. Some do this only occasionally, while others make calls constantly
as part of their job. Either way, the process can be made vastly more
convenient and less troublesome, without having to learn a complex new
hardware or software system, for the vanishingly small investment of $20.00.
Minimum requirements for PhoneTech are any Mac with a 68020 processor or
better (includes all Power Macs) running System 7.1 or later, a modem and a
phone on the same line as the modem.
PhoneTech is shareware and costs only $20.00. This download version is
complete and not disabled in any way; registered customers receive a code to
turn off "please register" reminders.
