New Internet Software Provides Nearly Cost-Free Communication Between Offline Computers; Software Eliminates Long Distance Phone Charges for Remote Control and Mobile Users

Business Wire, Sept 9, 1998

SENECA, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 1998--iCall has released the world's first software that allows two computers to dynamically connect to the Internet, exchange information, then disconnect, all without human assistance.

iCallSignal software is the first release in a new product category: unattended Internet-access software. This new technology enables remote control and mobile users to save hundreds TO thousands of dollars in long distance and international phone charges when accessing distant computers.

Calling it "as revolutionary as it is simple," LAN Times magazine recommends iCallSignal to any company that needs to link locations for file transfer, backup, or maintenance, because it provides the link at dial-up ISP rates rather than for the hundreds of dollars it costs for a dedicated Internet connection. iCallSignal makes Internet data exchange as simple, immediate, and inexpensive as a local telephone call.

iCallSignal's technology is application-independent and handles both fixed and dynamic IP addresses, making it an ideal enhancement for all types of existing Internet communications software, including file transfer, remote control, telephony, video conferencing, point of sale reporting, electronic data interchange (EDI), and remote collaboration. -0-
