BIGMOUTH VOICE MAIL SYSTEM

Meet the new BigmOuth Voice Mail and Call Processing System
($299.95).  This single 8-bit card gives your computer the
ability to become a full-featured, computerized telephone
management system, rivaling those PBX systems costing thousands
of dollars more.

The BigmOuth provides answering services, voice mail, call
processing, personal phone management, outbound call distribution
-- or any combination of these and many more features.  It uses
high quality, real voice digital recording technology to provide
superior crispness and clarity to both inbound and outbound call
applications.

As an answering system, it lets the computer answer the phone in
your voice and record messages from callers.  It logs in the
time, date and duration of the call.  Your outgoing message can
be up to sixty seconds long.  BigmOuth lets you set the number of
rings before it answers (including a Tollsaver mode), set up call
monitoring with an external speaker (included), transfer messages
to individual mail boxes, and forward messages to any location --
including a pager or cellular telephone.

For alarm systems, there is a special jack that will cause
BigmOuth to dial up to three numbers and play a recorded message
once an alarm circuit is closed (no need for a separate Emergency
autodialer).

As an autodialer, it lets you set up databases for customer,
supplier and personal numbers.  It finds and dials numbers with
just a few keystrokes, and allows you to keep notes or contact
information with a built-in editor.

As a voice-mail system, BigmOuth lets callers select individual
message boxes to leave their messages in.  Voice-mail provides
central automated answering services for multiple users.  These
individual boxes also have their own individual greetings, and
all messages can be retrieved remotely by the box owner, or they
may be forwarded to a phone or pager in a different location.

BigmOuth can also be used for call distribution.  It will deliver
a message automatically to a whole list of phone numbers, such as
information about a private sale to preferred customers or it
could call territory managers all over the country to announce a
price change or a new product introduction.

The Questionnaire selection is used to record the questions
associated with a questionnaire telebox.  The questionnaire
function plays recorded questions and records the responses,
storing them with a single questionnaire response file.  Each
questionnaire box can have up to 40 questions associated with it.
It first plays a greeting message, then starts asking.  It will
continue to play and record responses until it reaches the end of
the questions.

For a home office, the BigmOuth is an indispensable item.  For
small business, it is a true productivity multiplier.  The
BigmOuth requires 256K RAM, 1 XT expansion slot and MS-DOS 3.0 or
greater.  It comes with full instructions, telephone cord and an
external speaker for call monitoring.  There's nothing quite like
it on the market, and at $299.95, it's very affordable.
