WELCOME
1.Welcome to the
Speedway!
The Speedway ISDN PCI Card is an internal PC card which enables fast data
communications to and from your PC via ISDN or BT Highway service.
You will be able to browse the Internet and download files, images and
programs at speeds unavailable via modems connected to the analogue
network. You can also access other remote sites that have both access to the
ISDN and compatible terminal equipment.
Your Speedway ISDN PCI Card can combine both ISDN channels to provide a
data speed of up to 128Kbps.
Note
The actual data speed obtained is dependent upon the data speed offered by
your Internet service provider or that of the remote site you connect to.
You can install the supplied software under Windows 95, 98 and NT. For
further information, please refer to the relevant installation sections.
Also included is a suite of applications that form an integrated
communications package. These programs enable you to make the best use of
your Speedway ISDN PCI Card:
Speedway! data allows you to transfer data at high speed to and from other
PC users who have access to the ISDN and have a
compatible terminal adapter and software.
Speedway! fax allows transmission of faxes very quickly and directly from
a word processing program.
Speedway! phone is a virtual ISDN desktop telephone, providing ISDN
voice communication via your PC’s soundcard.
Speedway! answer gives you an ISDN answering machine on your PC if you
have a sound card installed.
Speedway! term allows you to quickly load information from an ISDN
Bulletin Board Service.
See ‘Typical use examples’ on page 18 for more information on the use of
these applications.
