S eptember 1996 / BYTE Lab Product Report / Details

The program group created by Midisoft MediaWorks, the software bundled with Boca's SoundExpression 28.8 SRS board, is crammed with 26 icons. Opening the MediaWorks applications bar cuts down on much of the confusion. However, when the Voice Mail applet is open, attempts to run Help from the applications bar result i n an error message. To correct this problem, you have to select "Yes" in the "Do you want to try to find this file yourself?" dialog box and find the file manually.
SkyTel subscribers in midflight can access faxes and messages from their home PC with Cheyenne Software's BitWare F/D/V fax/data/voice software, which is bundled with Best Data Products' Smart One 2834VLX External Modem and Zoom Telephonics' ComStar 28.8 Modem Board. You just have to double-click on a SkyTel icon in BitWare F/D/V to make the air-to-ground connection, and you can be notified about incoming faxes or voice mail.
In another step toward the paperless office, Day-Timer Organizer for Windows is bundled with Diamond Multimedia's TeleCommander 3500XL. The software Day-Timer has all the features of its paper sibling, and then some. Anyone who has used the portable Day-Timer will feel at home with the software version, which includes daily, weekly, and monthly planners. This program integrates a calendar, an address book, a to-do list, a notebook, and an expense tracker.
