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.
Section 2 - Requirements for using Quarterdeck WebTalk
========================================================
1 A working Winsock based TCP/IP or SLIP/PPP connection configured
for your PC. (We recommend using Quarterdeck's QWinsock and
Location Manager software included with this application for
dial-up connections).
2 An account with an Internet Service Provider (or one may be
established using Quarterdeck's easy Connect-and-Play account
creation program).
3 Thirteen (13) megabytes of available disk space (all components),
