GeoPort

Geoport is a hardware and software communications archi- tecture that has been optimized for computer-telephony integration. It has three main attributes:

•It lets any computer connect to any telephone (analog or digital, public or private) anywhere in the world.

•Once connected, it supports an arbitrary number of independent data streams up to a total bandwidth of 2 MB/ second.

•Unlike traditional asynchronous data communications (such as AppleTalk), GeoPort also supports isochronous data streams (such as real-time voice and video) and provides the real-time Application Program Interfaces (APIs) necessary to hide the implementation details from both the recipient and the sender.
