People have been asking about the UNIX PC voice capabilities. I have been authorized to post the following information (I sound like Frank-9000): -- Release 2 of Voice Power adds the ability to support up to 7 voice cards simultaneously in one 3B1 (with expansion cabinet). Release 2 features include: + Programmers toolkit providing full driver and applications voice library documentation. + Voice Data Access script interpretor for fast prototyping of voice response applications using ASCII scripts. + Compatibility with the ATT Speech coding standard supporting record/play at 16, 24, 64 Kbps. + Automatic Attendant application for PBX's to allow calls to be handled without a live attendant. + Voice Design Tool for designing applications using the user agent. Good for non programmers. Release 2 is an orderable ATT product with the following PECC codes: 37419: Card and system software ($999). 1030-101: Answering machine and electronic voice mail ($445) 1030-010: Automated Attendant ($395). 1030-012: Voice Design tool ($995). -- Now I don't understand any of this stuff, but if people have heavy questions about the technical features of the product I can maybe route them to the originators of the package. Questions like "what's a PECC code?' or 'what colour is it?' are likely to get a short and physiologically improbable answer. Try calling one of the myriad 800 numbers and playing dumb. -- Jonathan Clark [NAC,attmail]!mtune!jhc An Englishman never enjoys himself except for some noble purpose.
