capabilities, including the real-time monitoring of all ChatterBox

anywhere in the world and requires no remote operator involvement. With
the industry standard SNMP protocol this powerful control can be
accomplished by a wide range of platforms including Novell's NMS, Hewlett
Packard's Open View and IBM's NetView Also available from J&L, will be the
