Enabling Made Easy

Using e-mail as
a means of transferring data and status is a great idea
because e-mail transfer is a standardized Internet application.
In addition, both humans and machines can read e-mail
without modification.
Adding Press4Sevice
ISP service into the mix makes e-mail protocol-independent
and capable of being dynamically routed because normal
e-mails can be converted to fax, ftp transfers, and
web page data without user intervention. E-mail-to-voice
message capability is soon to become a Press4Service
feature as well.
The 2124 modem and
evaluation board, coupled with the Press4Service offering,
can help you put just about any type of data on the
Internet with minimal effort in a short amount of time.
I’m
not suggesting that you consider releasing your network
programming staff, but maybe you should promote them
to executive positions. As executives, they can accompany
you on fishing excursions to Tims Ford Lake in that
corporate jet you bought with the money you saved by
deploying the Cermetek Internet appliance modem/Press4Service
ISP solution. Jets, fish, modems, or whatever, by using
the Cermetek 2124 it’s not complicated, it’s embedded.
