* 5. TIP:   Some phone services now offer "Internet Call Waiting!"
            http://www.nortel.com/pcn/cw/index.html

     Many users of Mark/Space's PhoneWatcher (CallerID software) have
     been asking for "Internet Call Waiting." We're passing this
     information on to you, as it appears the time is coming when
     your phone service may include such a feature!

     NORTEL says: Internet Call Waiting allows single-line users to
     monitor and control incoming calls without ever leaving the
     Internet. When your phone service provider offers this feature,
     all you will require is a dial-up connection to an 
     ISP and a Java-enabled browser running on your laptop or desktop. 
 
     The following information comes to us from Lucent Technologies:
            http://www.lucent.com

     Lucent Technologies has announced Internet Call Waiting, an
     intelligent network (IN) software solution that will allow
     on-line Internet users to receive a call-waiting message on their
     computer screen when a telephone call comes in on the 
     same phone line.

     The software must be installed in the local telephone network by
     an Internet service provider who wishes to offer this features
     to its customers.

     When a telephone call comes in, on-line users surfing the Web
     would see a pop-up message on their computer monitor. The user
     would have the option of routing the call to voice mail,
     ignoring the call or accepting the call. 

     (Lucent's Internet Call Waiting solution was expected be
     available in the third quarter of 1998.)

* 6. TIP:   Using PageNOW! with FilmMagic Pro
            http://www.inksoft.com/overview/features.html

     FilmMagic Pro 2.0 is InkWell Software's Macintosh imaging solution
     for AGFA, Lasergraphics, MGI and Polaroid Film Recorders. It is a
     Queue-based PostScript RIP and bitmap file interpreter for Service
     Bureaus, Graphics Departments, and Medical Imaging Centers.

     FilmMagic Pro now offers error reporting to alphanumeric Pagers
     for users of PageNow! by Mark/Space Softworks. FilmMagic Pro now
     pages you if you are away from the computer and the software needs
     your attention.

* 7. TIP:  Update on using PageNOW! with Nextel
      
     Here's a bit more detail on using PageNOW! to send text messages to
     Nextel Phones:

     Your speed and settings should be 1200-2400 baud/Even Parity/
     7 Data bits/1 Stop Bit. Create a Service using the TAP protocol,
     and, as the phone number, use the area code and the first three
     digits of the Nextel phone's number, then 6683 (NOTE on your 
     phonepad) as the last 4 digits. Example: if the Nextel phone's
     number is 123-456-7890, then you would type the service listing as
     "123-456-6683." In the Subscriber listing, you will type the
     person's full, 10-digit Nextel phone number as the pin number.
     That's all there is to it. (This tip submitted by PageNOW! user
     Glenn Cobb. Thank you, Glenn!) 

* 8. STATUS REPORT: PageNOW! 1.5 for PalmOS (Pilot, PalmPilot, PalmIII)
                    http://www.markspace.com/pagenow_pilot.html

     PageNOW! 1.5 for PalmOS is now in Public Beta.

        Works with all phones supported by the Option Snap-On GSM modem as
        well as the Nokia 9000 and other phones with built-in modem.
      - A handy troubleshooting window during message send. See all the data
        being sent to/from the service. Very handy for tracking down invalid
        pager IDs or improper communications settings

* 9. FEEDBACK:  Happy PageNOW! users in Denmark, @ NOW-Online, NIKE

     From Denmark: "I have been using PageNOW for a few weeks and I love
     it. It's true, I use it for business and it is functional and very
     useful, but I use it for personal communication too. It is private,
     quick, and there are no message errors because I don't 
     have to send it thru a third person.

     Great stuff, thanks,

*10. HAPPY ENDING!: PhoneWatcher Spans Generations--Connects Grandma
     to Family!

     "My 92 year old grandmother lives with my mother and cannot hear the
     telephone ring. After trying several external ringers (none ring
     loud enough), I gave my Mom my old 030 Mac with speakers and a
     modem.  Problem is all of the telephony applications out there
     required a PowerMac or at least an 040 processor.  That's when I
     came across PhoneWatcher, and for our needs, it works like a charm.

     "In the past, I had thought about selling the Mac, but never thought
     the few hundred I could get for it was worth letting it go. Now, I'm
     glad I kept it. Because it is doing what no other piece of phone
     equipment could do: making our lives a lot easier. No more
     does my mother need to rush home from work in the middle of the day,
     worried why my grandmother is not answering the phone.

     "And yet, it would not have been possible without the software.
     Thanks for not abandoning the lowly 030 processor when writing
     PhoneWatcher. We may not use all of PhoneWatcher's full range of
     features, but now my grandmother can hear the phone loud
     and clear. Now, if only the neighbors don't complain . . .

     "I wish you much success with PhoneWatcher."

     John Mark Davis

     Editor's Note: PhoneWatcher works with all Macintoshes using
     Mac System 7.x-MacOS 8.x
