System 7.5: PowerTalk Features for PowerBook Computers (2/95)


This article provides an overview of the PowerTalk capabilities within System 7.5 available for PowerBook computers.

Because PowerTalk software enables collaboration, it is especially useful for those of you who need to communicate with others, whether or not you are connecting to a local area network, a public e-mail service, or directly to another Macintosh computer. Even if you are not part of a network, you can install PowerTalk Personal Gateway Software (available from third parties) to get easy access to fax, pager, and e-mail services, as well as the Internet.

PowerTalk puts everything you need to communicate in one place. You can organize information needed to collaborate �?- such as electronic addresses, phone and fax numbers, and supporting notes �?- in easy-to-access catalogs that you can take with you wherever you go. Your DigiSign "signer" can also travel with you, enabling you to approve and verify documents �? even when you are on the road.

PowerTalk was specifically designed for those of you who frequently connect to a network, work off-line, and then reconnect at a later time. With PowerTalk, you can quickly and easily copy mail from a server, read it off-line, and compose replies. When you reconnect to the network, all messages are sent automatically.
