1. Product Description
-----------------------
Phone Plus is a full featured telephone dialer with optional Caller ID
and speakerphone support.  You can organize names, numbers, addresses,
and other information in multiple user-defined phone books and dial
using a standard Data/Fax modem.  Other features include automatic
redial of busy numbers, and call logging.  The Caller ID lets you know
who is calling before you answer.  An icon in the system tray lets you
know that calls were logged while you were away from the computer.
Missed calls can be returned simply by double clicking an entry in the
Call Log.  Sound options allow playing a different .wav file for
priority callers.  With Pager Notification you can be automatically
paged when someone calls your home or office.  Place and receive calls
using the full featured speakerphone.  Phone Plus is TAPI compliant and
can share your modem with other TAPI programs.

-----------------------
2. System Requirements
-----------------------
- 80386 required, 486 or higher recommended
- Microsoft(r) Windows(r) 95/98
- VGA or Super-VGA monitor
- 2 MB (minimum) of free disk space
- A mouse or equivalent pointing device

In addition, the Caller ID and Speakerphone features require:
- Microsoft(r) Unimodem V universal modem driver

Phone Plus will run on Windows NT, however the version of Unimodem that
works with Windows NT does not support Caller ID or a speakerphone.

3. Installation
----------------
If you are updating a previous version of Phone Plus, do not uninstall
the old version.  This would remove the configuration settings.  Simply
install this new version over the old one.  Be sure the old version is
not running when installing the new one.

First, extract the files to a temporary directory. You can delete this
directory when setup has completed.  Run Setup.exe and follow the
instructions.  Use one of these methods to run Setup.exe:

- Select Run from the Taskbar Start menu, type the full path of the
  temporary directory followed by a backslash and the name of the
  installation program (e.g., C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE).  Press the ENTER key.
- Use My Computer or the Explorer to find the Setup.exe file.  Double-
  click the icon to run it.

Setup only adds one icon to your Start button, so you may want to add
it to an existing folder rather than create a new folder.  The setup
program will give you this option.

You can uninstall Phone Plus by double-clicking on "Add/Remove Programs"
in the control panel, selecting Phone Plus in the list, and clicking
the "Add/Remove" button.  After uninstalling you may need to manually
remove the Phone Plus directory and any files left in it since the
uninstall does not remove any data files that were created.

-------------------
4. Troubleshooting
-------------------
If you are using a modem with Caller ID or Speakerphone capabilities
and have problems using these features, be sure to read the topic
"Troubleshooting" in the Phone Plus help.
