The "I'm At" feature of PowerTalk allows users to store several
configurations for their AOCE client systems. The options are work, home,
on the road, or off-line. This option is particularly useful for PowerBook
users.
?A PowerTalk user will probably have access to different services depending
on the Macintosh computer's location, at home, work, or on the road. For
example, a user may want to disable Direct Dialup mail unless the Macintosh
computer is at home. Similarly, if the user is at home, some work related
catalogs might not be available.
Working off-line means the user will be able to create and send messages,
but no attempt will be made to deliver the messages until the user
indicates that a network is now connected. This selection is most useful
in situations where the Macintosh computer is not connected to any network
or communications methods.
PowerBook users will find the "I'm at" feature to be especially useful. It
allows them to store several different preset configurations for
collaboration services. One menu selection quickly enables or disables the
appropriate services.
