Internet Telephony for Dummies Book

In an ideal world, Internet telephony would just be a matter of plugging in a microphone and camera. But, hey, this is the real world of competing standards and crazy software. Authors Briere, Hurley, and Wetzel bring some order to the chaos. They begin with an overview of what makes up Internet telephony and how to put it to use. Then Internet Telephony for Dummies simply discusses the underlying history and technology of the subject--mercifully skipping over the basic "what is the Internet" material you've read in other books. From there, the authors--in the light-hearted Dummies manner--tell you how to ensure that your Internet service provider (ISP) supports telephony, what protocol to use, how to select and use equipment, what the leading software is, and more. The authors even discuss the gateway services that enable you to use the Net with a regular telephone or fax machine. The book offers a variety of troubleshooting tips for when things go wrong as well as a look at upcoming options. Internet Telephony for Dummies comes with a CD-ROM that includes telephony software--some demo software and some fully functional--for both Macs and PCs. Read More

  • Product Description

    Reach out and click someone? With voice and video communication over the Internet now all the rage, this may turn out to be the slogan of the '90s. It's no wonder people are excited: Free calls and phone and video conferencing to anyone anywhere in the world is something to e-mail home about. Internet Telephony For Dummies shows how you, too, can take advantage of this exciting new communications medium. Even better, the book1s bundled CD-ROM gives you the actual software you need to use your computer as a free telephone and see as well as speak to colleagues, friends, and family over the Internet. Telecommunications experts Danny Briere and Pat Hurley also explain "whiteboarding" over the Internet to share ideas with colleagues and clients graphically and dynamically. They make Internet telephony almost as easy as the plain ol' telephone system ("POTS" to the cognoscenti).
