  1. Speedy Dialer is not a voice modem. It is a sophisticated single line device that includes a built-in telephone. Speedy Dialer allows you to place or receive calls (either live or with automated messaging), and it has the ability to recognize live answers vs. answering machines, busy signals, and disconnects. Call processing is much faster and more efficient than using voice modems or dialing by hand; therefore, you can make many more calls per hour.

  2. Yes, each Speedy Dialer does have to be connected to a PC. The Speedy Dialer is controlled by the software installed on the PC it is connected to.

  3. No, you don't have to install anything inside your PC. The Speedy Dialer is an external device that plugs either into the PC's serial port or USB port.

  4. If being used as an Auto Dialer it only works with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If used as a Power Dialer it can be used with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

  5. When Auto Dialing, Speedy Dialer detects Busy Signals, No Answers, Live Answers, Answering Machines, and Disconnected Numbers, but does not detect Faxes. When used as a Power Dialer, the agent makes those determinations and marks each record in the software.

If you aren't sure about the type of ports your phone system has, contact your phone system vendor.
