1. Introduction
---------------

With eRing, anyone using an ordinary telephone can talk to you directly
at your PC connected to the internet.

With eRing, you won't need a second phone line and you won't miss your
calls!


2. How does it work
-------------------

Someone trying to reach you on the internet needs to call the eRing Access
Number and punch in your phone number. 

The eRing window will pop-up on your screen and display the name and phone
number of the person who is calling. If you accept the call, eRing will
enable an exchange of voice messages between the person who is calling 
(with an ordinary telephone) and you at your PC (with your microphone and
speakers).

The eRing Access numbers can be found in section Access Numbers of our 
web site at www.eRing.net.


3. Hardware and Software Requirements
-------------------------------------

- Sound card (SoundBlaster or other)
- Speakers
- Microphone
- Windows 95, 98 or NT


4. How to Install
-----------------

Simply double-click on the installation program (eRingIns.exe)


5. What Does it Cost
--------------------

There are two versions of eRing:

eRing Lite is free.
eRing Plus costs $19.95 per year (subject to change).

When you first install the software, you will be able to use eRing Plus
for an evaluation period of 30 days without cost or obligation. 

If you haven't paid for eRing Plus before the end of your evaluation period,
your software will be automatically changed to eRing Lite which you can 
continue to use without cost or obligation.

Note that someone calling long distance to an eRing Access Number will be
billed long distance charges by their own long distance carrier just like
any other call. 

Please visit sections Access Numbers and Cost of our web site for all the
