          {For IBM PC, PS/2 and compatible computers

          Word of mouth dominated business long before computers.  It's the
          natural way people communicate.  The spoken word whether howling,
          pleading, demanding or respectfully requesting,carries vast power
          that  written words alone fail to  convey. Computers arrived with
          plain green-on-black text.  Useful, yes,  but boring.  Along came
          graphics  with  eye-popping,  dimensional  color.    As  graphics
          standards   advanced   to    Windows,   computing   became   more
          interesting,and  more functional. And now . . . SOUND!  Rumbling,
          ranting, ruminating,  chortling sound, coming to  a computer near
          you through the power  of Artisoft's Sounding Board adapter  kit.
          Use the Sounding  Board adapter and ArtiSound  recorder to attach
          voice comments to documents  in progress, build presentations and
          route them  along  network  e-mail.  RCA-type jacks  give  you  a
          standard  audio  connection to  CD  players,  tape recorders  and
          amplifiers  for record  or playback.   When  used on  a LANtastic
          network, e-mail  becomes voice  mail, allowing  users to  Chat in
          real time or send voice messages. The Sounding Board installs and
          configures easily through the  Windows control panel and includes
          ArtiSound recorder software, which is accessible from any Windows
          application. The kit also includes drivers for DOS-level use.  It
          digitizes  your  words  and  sound  with crystal  clarity.    The
          telephone-style  handset  (included)  provides   convenience  and
          privacy while  eliminating any need for  external microphones and
          speakers.  Under its  original  designation  as  LANtastic  Voice
          Adapter,  the Sounding  Board  system won  the  PC Magazine  1990
          Technical  Excellence  Award .    In  Windows  3.0,  it  supports
          Microsoft  multimedia  extensions.  In Windows  3.1, the Sounding
          Board  uses  the  Windows'  Object Linking  and  Embedding  (OLE)
          protocol so you are a click away from adding the  sound dimension
          to a spreadsheet, word processing document, e-mail message or any
          Windows  application   supporting  OLE.  Incorporated   into  the
          Sounding Board software are  some of the tools from  the Artisoft
          Voice  Programmer's Interface  with  which you  can create  voice
          functions in  existing applications. The  complete VPI (available
          separately)  works with  Sounding Board,  enabling developers  to
          create  new  dimensions  of  voice  and  sound  in  software. The
          Sounding  Board kit gives business  users a voice  in Windows and
          LAN environments,for a very attractive price.
