- Section 1 - About WebTalk
- =========================
-
- WebTalk allows any Internet connected computer user to have real-
- time, full-duplex, telephone-like audio conversations over the
- Internet. WebTalk is the next generation product for
- interactive communications over the Net, moving greatly
- beyond the capabilities of today's very popular text based chat.
-
- To make it easy to locate users on the Internet, Quarterdeck
- has designed the Virtual Meeting Place Servers. By logging
- into one of these servers you instantly are in reach of other
- users on line, who are waiting and wanting to talk. The server
- network is oriented in a topic room format so that you may
- choose who to talk with based on mututal interests.
-
- Alternatively, you may search for users online through the use
- of the Quarterdeck Web page directory search engine.
-
- Both of these call initiator methods are made freely available
- to WebTalk users. You may take advantage of them simply by
- creating an online ID and then logging in to our network through
- the use of your Web browser (Quarterdeck Mosaic is included for
- free with the purchase of WebTalk). Simply point your browser to
- http://webtalk.quarterdeck.com/ and follow the on screen directions.
