"A user's experiences putting Internet telephony to work." according to A Customer. Voice-over-net (VON) is not just an Internet fad; in its shorthistory the technology has developed at a remarkable rate, particularly in association with real-time video.

In the meantime, commercial users are putting VON to work for conferencing (voice and video/voice), one-to-one voice communication, and secure telephony.

Cleared up a lot of new user type questions." according to A Customer. I just finished reading the book, and must say it's a great read besides being very informative about using the internet to talk to people with these webphones.I thought it would be too technical or even out of date, but it really has some good tips on how to tweak your Internet phone connection. Therea are two other books out there I looked at a dummies book, I think and another one,but this one had so much more in it, and was very well written I went with it. I particularly enjoyed the little CD-ROM help program, and was suprised to find all that software on the CD. Seems lately books come wit. "Excellent book" according to A Customer. By far the best book on the subject. Well written and easy to follow.Author extremely helpful in assisting me with problems I had with one product highlighted in the book.I highly recommend it. She knows her stuff, and doesn't pitch products, which is nice to see. So many other authors of computer books do. I am happy to say because of buying the book I too am saving a bundle of money talking to my brother-in-law in Nebraska.
A look at the developing Internet phone technologies from the consumers point of view. The text begins with a basic introduction of Internet telephony, describing exactly what it is - and how to use it. The author addresses and answers such questions as: what's the cheapest and best product? Does it really work? What software and hardware do you need with each product? How much money can you save? The text covers video-conferencing, audio technology and Netscape 3.0's current telephony features. WebPhone and Internet Phone are described and compared, along with other telephony packages. An accompanying CD-ROM contains fully functional versions of top telephony products and demo versions of many more.
