General and Technical Aspects of Our Software

Our products (general) - All of our scalable software products are designed for the MS Windows NT or Windows 2000 Server platforms (using Dialogic's "DNA" natural drivers).

We support DIGITAL T-1 / E-1, or ANALOG (POT) installations

We support configurations employing the 16 port Dialogic D/160SC-LS (analog) card on the low-end, incrementing through the family of non-retired analog, digital T-1/E-1 Dialogic/Intel voice telephony cards, supporting conferencing. The maximum amount of concurrent call traffic on a system is only limited by:
  • the number of licensed ports (phone lines),
  • the physical ports configured,
  • and the maximum threashold of the Dialogic device drivers.
Complete prompts and music tracks are included with all products. All products are immediately ready for live deployment once installed and configured.

Our products are easy to install, maintain, navigate and can be run on any standard desktop PC, half-height tower, or rackmount passive-backplane system. Simply...

  • install the OS (MS Windows NT or Windows 2000),
  • install the Dialogic voice telephony card(s)/device drivers,
  • install our software,
  • and configure your runtime preferences.
Once done, connect your computer to the phone company line installation (demarcation) and you're ready for paid subscribers to call into the system (posting/responding to ads, sending/receiving real-time messages, and engaging in private 1-on-1 conferenced connections).

Our products (technical) - All of our programs are less than 200K in size, designed in state-machine design, in the "C/C++" programming language. Our executable code is optimized for speed and (operating system) resource management. We don't use 3rd party libraries or development kits. Instead, we program directly over the Dialogic device drivers, for pure performance, using the native Dialogic API's.

We don't use the overhead of ActiveX controls or libraries in our designs, either. As a result, we're able to capture, process and display realtime channel events regardless of call traffic saturation on high (dense) channel capacity deployments. These are not novice designs. Our products are industrial grade.

We try to maintain a consistant "look and feel" across our product line, in both the interface and the internal features (ads/mailbox, live 1-on-1, call-forwarding, and admin. functionality), where applicable. Our hope is to minimize the learning curve, when migrating from one product to another.

All of our systems include a backdoor/admin. channel. The "backdoor" is accessed on channel 1 and is used to setup/maintain accounts and monitor/supervise system activity. Many of the features, accessed by the admin. channel are also available, in the form of pop-up windows, from our menu bar, for remote/local desktop management.

Some of the intuitive features found in our products include:

  • Automatic housekeeping/cleanup of all stale or outdated message, ad, greeting and other temporary voice/data files, on all channels (constantly purging and keeping all directories clean).

    Runaway disk space managment can be fatal to the performance of a program.

  • Constant freeing up of memory structures and file handles no longer in use (per-channel).

    Runaway memory and/or file handle managment can be fatal to the performance of a program, as well.

  • Real-time maintenance of accounts. This means that account time may be added, an account may be frozen, etc... all while the subscriber is currently on the system, with immediate results. All of our programs perform rapid (real-time) multi-user database access with record/field locking.

  • Real-time backup of databases to separate directories, consistant with the roll-back and redo architecture of a SQL database.

  • The ability to download total or updated account information at any time.
