Section 1 - About WebTalk
=========================

WebTalk allows any Internet connected computer user to have real- 
time, full-duplex, telephone-like audio conversations over the 
Internet. WebTalk is the next generation product for
interactive communications over the Net, moving greatly
beyond the capabilities of today's very popular text based chat.

To make it easy to locate users on the Internet, Quarterdeck 
has designed the Virtual Meeting Place Servers. By logging 
into one of these servers you instantly are in reach of other 
users on line, who are waiting and wanting to talk. The server
network is oriented in a topic room format so that you may 
choose who to talk with based on mututal interests.

Alternatively, you may search for users online through the use 
of the Quarterdeck Web page directory search engine.

Both of these call initiator methods are made freely available 
to WebTalk users. You may take advantage of them simply by 
creating an online ID and then logging in to our network through 
the use of your Web browser (Quarterdeck Mosaic is included for 
free with the purchase of WebTalk). Simply point your browser to
http://webtalk.quarterdeck.com/ and follow the on screen directions.
