Advantages of Using Web Dialer The phenomenal growth of the web has focused a great deal of attention on Internet connectivity.

Easy to Use Web Dialer is simple to use because it is a Windows program (.exe file). There are no DLLs to register or other complicated procedures, just a straightforward command syntax. Anyone can use Web Dialer--you don't need to be a programmer.
Negligible Overhead Web Dialer is only about 14K bytes in size, making it possible to add Internet access even in situations where file size is an important issue.
Browser and Platform Independence Web Dialer will work with all the leading web browsers, including all versions of Netscape, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and various versions of Mosaic. You can use it on Windows 95, Windows 3.1x or Windows NT with either 16- or 32-bit applications.
Works with a Variety of Development Platforms Web Dialer can be used with virtually any Windows development platform, and with many productivity applications. Examples include Visual Basic, Delphi, C++, Access, Windows help Files and Microsoft Excel and Word. The only requirement is that you be able to launch an external Windows program and pass it a command/parameter.
