Description
A look at the developing Internet phone technologies from the consumers point of view. The text begins with a basic introduction of Internet telephony, describing exactly what it is - and how to use it. WebPhone and Internet Phone are described and compared, along with other telephony packages. The author addresses and answers such questions as: what's the cheapest and best product? Does it really work? What software and hardware do you need with each product? How much money can you save? The text covers video-conferencing, audio technology and Netscape 3.0's current telephony features. An accompanying CD-ROM contains fully functional versions of top telephony products and demo versions of many more.
