Tips & Information
Did
you know that the Internet was originally developed by scientists and the
Pentagon as a “Doomsday” telephone system to be used in rebuilding the world
after World War III?
Information is sent over a network in packets of information through many
different computers over many different routes.
The idea was that if one of these computers was knocked out of
commission, the others would still be online, connected and able to deliver the
info packets. With
the end of the Cold War and the break up of the Soviet Union, the internet was
let loose by the scientists and now we can all use it to send email, browse web
and download free software.
Speaking of free
software, check out HotSend at www.hotsend.com.
This free program makes it easy to email anything to anyone. Now you can
send your buyer that Property Listing Synopsis, right from inside T-lll.
HotSend converts the Synopsis into a rich, full color format optimized
for email attachment. It combines the document with HotSend's free Microviewer-the
only software needed to view and print a HotSend document-to create a
"portable" document that can be opened by anyone! Whoever receives
your message just double-clicks on the attachment and the free HotSend
Microviewer opens and the document is displayed ready to be viewed and printed.
Your attachment looks and prints just like the original, but the receiver
doesn't need to own, buy, download, or install anything!
Thinking
about adding a dedicated telephone line for your computer so you won't miss
important phone calls? Think again! Now, you can surf the Internet on your
single phone line without worrying about missing important calls. That's because
the FREE Internet Answering Machine from CALLWAVE
makes it possible to hear who's calling while you are surfing the Web! The
Internet Answering Machine works with the Busy Call Forwarding feature of your
phone line to answer calls while you are online. Once activated, callers no
longer get annoying busy signals when you are online. Instead, callers will hear
a brief CallWave greeting after which they can leave a short message at the
tone--that you will be able to hear instantly!
It takes less than five minutes to install and it’s FREE at www.callwave.com.
FAXING FOR FREE
Get
your own unique fax number to receive faxes and voice mail… for FREE. From
anywhere in the world, friends, family and business associates can send faxes to
you or leave voice mail at this number. Your faxes and voice mail will be
delivered directly to your existing e-mail address!
Get it at www.fax4free.com!
