ELSA, Inc. Announces the All-In-One Modem
Stand-Alone Modem Combines a 56K High-Speed Access, Speakerphone, Fax, and Answering Machine in One Device
Las Vegas, NV (COMDEX L5640)- November 16, 1998 -- ELSA, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) today announced ELSA MicroLink™ Office. It will combine a 56K high-speed modem, speakerphone, fax, and answering machine in one device. With this multi-talented modem featuring a smart combination of functions, ELSA has once again raised the benchmark in the marketplace for modems.With the ELSA MicroLink Office in modem operation, you can download from the Internet at up to 56,000 bps or send and receive faxes at up to 14,400 bps. ELSA MicroLink Office is available with V.90 standard and it also comes with a flash ROM to secure simpler future upgrades at no additional cost.
ELSA MicroLink Office is also a true stand-alone solution that can work independently of your computer. An integrated 2 MB flash memory can record up to 70 faxed pages or 15 minutes of speech. New messages can be played back just like a normal answering machine: There's no need to switch on your PC.
A real novelty is the ELSA MicroLink Office keypad. With the seven keys mounted directly on the modem housing, you can control the answering machine functions with ease. The usual functions, e.g. recording a greeting, playing back messages, deleting messages, etc., can be carried out just as with a conventional answering machine. The ELSA MicroLink Office also features an integrated microphone and loudspeaker.
ELSA supplies the new all-around modem with a brand new generation of software which has already caused a sensation in the USA: ELSA-COMMUNICATE!-PRO. This software package has been specially adapted by ELSA and unites a multitude of functions within a single attractive program interface. Implemented in this software are the answering machine and fax functions, plus a terminal program, a WWW-browser launch function, Internet telephony, and address management.
The software is a 32-bit application specially developed for the Microsoft Windows® 95 and Microsoft Windows NT® operating systems. This lets the software seamlessly integrate into the operating system and even enables full fax functionality under Windows NT.
The software package of the ELSA MicroLink Office is rounded off with the remote access/remote control program LapLink 7.5, and access programs for the popular online providers such as CompuServe and AOL. The entire software package including LapLink 7.5 and ELSA Communicate! Pro has a value of $400 US.
The ELSA MicroLink Office will be supplied complete with all necessary cables, a software CD-ROM, comprehensive documentation and an Installation Guide. The warranty period for the new modem lasts 6 years. ELSA MicroLink Office will be shipping in mid 1999.
