- WebPhone Web Browser Helper Application Usage Notes
-
- (c) NetSpeak 1996
-
- The WebPhone web browser helper application enables WebPhone calls to be
- placed by simply clicking on a link in an HTML page. The link in the HTML
- page identifies the party to be called, so there is no need to invoke
- directory assistance or enter an e-mail address to place the call. This
- document describes how to install the helper application so you can use
- it to place WebPhone calls from your browser, as well as how to add
- WebPhone call links to your own HTML pages.
-
-
- INSTALLING THE WEBPHONE HELPER APPLICATION
-
- You MUST have WebPhone version 1.05 or later for the WebPhone browser
- helper app to work. If you have an older version of the WebPhone,
- upgrade to version 2.01 before continuing.
-
- To install the WebPhone helper application, download and run the
- self-extracting zip file wphsetup.exe.

- ADDING A WEBPHONE LINK TO YOUR HTML PAGE
-
- Create a text file with the e-mail address to be called and name it with
- a ".wpc" extension. Then add a link to your HTML document that references
- that file. You can use the WebPhone GIF file "phone.gif" included in this
- package, or create one of your own.
-
- For example:
-
- (call.wpc file contains) sales@mystore.com
-
-
- <p><a HREF="mystore.wpc">My Online Store</a> <a href="mystore.wpc">
- <img src="phone.gif" hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0
