Some important organisations acting in satellite communications research and developments participated with papers and technical discussion. Among them Inmarsat, Eutelsat, Intersputnik, United Nations Office for Outer Space and others. More than 70 papers, 5 plenary talks and about 15 posters have been presented at plenary and topical sessions: Session 1: Satellite communication systems and broadcasting Session 2: Platform launchers, space complex and equipment for satellite communications Session 3: Satellite based systems with high elliptical and low Earth orbits, VSAT networking and data transmission Session 4: Satellite based systems for ecological monitoring and navigation The conference proceedings in two volumes were published at the beginning of the conference. The special feature of the proceedings is the first time publication of detailed technical description of many Russia-originated satellite communications projects - Express Marathon, Gonets, Coupon, Gals and others.

Padgett Peterson) Subject: Re: Dynamic Negotiation and Caller-ID > From: Ross E Mitchell > The following article, which I co-authored, has just appeared in the > November/December 1994 issue of MIT's Technology Review. --lots skipped -- > But in the system we suggest, > phones with caller ID displays can also be set up to automatically > refuse calls when the number has not been provided by the caller. Gee. wonder if they saw my Procomm + Caller-ID .ASP (freeware in the TELECOM achives) from two years ago. This is exactly what I was talking about. Particularly nice for dial-up connections to computers > Applying the principles of dynamic negotiation, senders of electronic > mail would have the option to identify or not identify themselves. > Recipients could reject as undeliverable any e-mail with an > unidentified sender. E-Mail does not work the same way: to send mail a dynamic negotiation must take place (can be done in relays). The recipient service *always* knows at least the last node that processed the mail. Further a *feature* of E-Mail (at least SMTP) is that the return address can be made other than the sending address. If I want to make the return address sandy_claws@north.pole, current implementations will happily accept it. However, properly implimented systems always provide the return path - the "Received: from" line(s) in SMTP and the "PATH" line(s) in NNTP. This is not to say that an uneducated user cannot be fooled, just that it is possible to set up a system that cannot be easily fooled. Internet "Caller-ID" already exists and is being used by some government agencies (facinating subject in itself). It is interesting to note that MIT is catching up in theory to where hobbyists were in practise two years ago 8*).

I would like to find out what sort of jack these use and if there is some sort of adapter which can be used for home phone lines. Any info on either of these phones would be great. Also if anyone has these for sale I am interested. Thanks. Alex Jeannopoulos ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Nov 1994 03:11:44 -0400 From: Monty Solomon Subject: GeoPort Technology Passed along FYI to the Digest - Strong Support for GeoPort Technology Paves Way for Development of Standard Link Between Computers and Telephones CUPERTINO, CA--October 19, 1994--Apple Computer, Inc., together with leading computer and telephony vendors, today announced the emergence of GeoPort as their preferred cross-platform computer telephony interconnect standard. Vendors participating in the announcement include: AOX, Inc., AT&T Corp., Crystal Semiconductor Corp., Cypress Research Corp., IBM Corp., Motorola, Inc., SAT Groupe SAGEM, Siemens PN, Siemens Rolm Communications, Inc., and Zilog, Inc. GeoPort, developed by Apple Computer, is a plug-and-play serial interface which is backward compatible with the serial ports used in most personal computers, but offers over 200 times the bandwidth. Beyond just providing a physical connection, it also hides the differences between differing computer platforms and communications systems, while allowing any kind of data to pass between them. Apple first introduced GeoPort in August 1993. Later that year, it began working with the major telephony and computer vendors including AT&T, IBM, and Siemens Rolm, to refine GeoPort to fully meet the needs of both communities. Today's announcement reflects the results of that joint effort. "With GeoPort, we are working to eliminate the technical and economic barriers which have constrained the development and adoption of personal communication products," said Rick Shriner, vice president of Apple's core technologies group. "With the support of both the telephony and computer industries, we believe we are developing a powerful building block for global communications and collaboration." GeoPort offers a powerful solution for both the computer and telephony markets. Telephone and computer customers will be able to communicate and collaborate more easily and effectively than ever before. They will be able to talk to each other, send faxes and computer data to each other, see each other, and share common information, without having to worry about what kind of telephone, telephone line, or computer happens to be present at each point of the connection. Apple Computer, Inc., a recognized pioneer and innovator in the information industry, creates powerful solutions based on easy to use personal computers, servers, peripherals, software, online services, and personal digital assistants. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, Apple (NASDAQ: APPL) develops, manufactures, licenses and markets products, technologies and services for the business, education, consumer, scientific & engineering and government markets in over 140 countries. Apple, the Apple logo and Macintosh are registered trademarks, and GeoPort is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. ATTACHMENT Fact Sheet GeoPort Technology GeoPort , developed by Apple Computer, is a plug-and-play serial interface which is backward compatible with the serial ports used in most personal computers, but offers over 200 times the bandwidth. The serial communications architecture of GeoPort is optimized for computer-telephony integration: - It allows any telephone (or telephone line, up to T1/E1 rates) to be connected to any computer, in any country in the world. - It supports any set of Telephony APIs (application programmatic interfaces) such as AT&T/Novell's TSAPI, IBM's CallPath, Microsoft's TAPI, or Apple's Telephone Manager. - It allows any telephone to take full advantage of the services provided by the computer, and vice versa. - It is inexpensive to implement, and uses existing technology. - It supports any type of information: computer data, voice, fax, modem, voice, video. - It allows multiple simultaneous streams of informationQincluding real time information like voice and videoQto pass through a telephone connection in order to be processed by the computer. These services will allow vendors and developers the opportunity to offer such features as: - An integrated mail-box for voice mail, email, and facsimiles. - Fax and modem capability over a digital telephone connection, like that found in an ISDN line or in many PBX environments. - Document sharing or other simultaneous voice and data úÿ (continued next message) ÿ@FROM :telecom@delta.eecs.nwu.edu úÿ(Continued from last message) applications over conventional phone lines. - Video conferencing over a PBX or ISDN connection. - Telephone assistant services, like automated call screening, call forwarding, and call tracking.

Admittedly, I've been plugging this a lot lately, but to me it seems to be a rather fantastic idea: bring the vendors all together, tell them in essence to can their press release nonsense and show that they know what they are talking about. It should have been done years ago.

WOW! The things people go through just to test an 800 number! [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Smart aleck! I did not fake that heart attack just to get in there and test whether or not I could stick them with a few directory assistance calls. I did it to get a chance to check out the phone room in general. Also, I wanted to see what the 708-933 prefix was all about and its connection to 708-677. 677 comes as no big surprise; we have had ORChard (672) and ORchard (673 thru 677) as long as I can remember. 'Orchard' is a popular word here in Skokie; lots of things use it in their name here such as the Old Orchard Shopping Mall, the Old Orchard Theatre, etc. I think it has to do with a long time ago when there were actually lots of apple orchards around here. Apples, they say, are good for your heart, but that's no reason for me not to quit for tonight and go upstairs and eat the rest of that lasagna in the fridge left over from dinner.
