New Rapid Link Router Provides All-in-One Phone and Fax Line

LOS ANGELES, CA — (MARKET WIRE) — 04/28/2005 — Dial Thru International (OTC BB: DTIX) today announced that it has launched its Rapid Link Router, which gives any business or residential customer a phone line and fax line in an integrated format. With the Rapid Link Router, users can make calls and fax documents anywhere in the U.S. and Canada for one low price.

The Company offers this service through the Rapid Link Router, a small box the size of a wallet that plugs directly into an Internet connection and then plugs into any standard analog phone that exists in a home or office and any analog facsimile machine. The Rapid Link Router will work on DSL, Cable modems and any other high-speed Internet connection.

The Rapid Link Router package is perfect for any small to medium-size business as the total setup cost is usually less then the price of a single standard phone line from your local exchange carrier. By just plugging a standard cordless base station (with its adjoining cordless phones) into the router, a user has a complete phone system tied into the Rapid Link Router, permitting unlimited calls to the U.S. and Canada. By plugging a fax machine into the second phone port on the Rapid Link Router, a user has a complete office setup for one low monthly price. The Rapid Link Router also comes with very low international rates to the rest of the world. More

Because there is so much spam already flying around the Internet, many ISP’s have adopted a very aggressive port blocking strategy; they simply don’t allow any emails to be sent unless it is going to their servers, where presumably they can authenticate it. For those of us traveling with our virtual offices, this can be a real problem, because we rarely have an account on the local ISP when working from a remote office. Even if we have an account, we usually want to use our home email server to send and receive mail.

If you operate your own email service, we highly recommend opening an additional port for SMTP. Depending on the platform it is running on, this is generally not a complex operation. Just make sure you leave port 25 open as well, because that is the way other email servers forward mail to your server. Changing your email service to another port without leaving port 25 open is like boarding over your front door and leaving a window open around back - most people will think your house is abandoned.

An alternative is to use a service like domainMX.net. This service is particularly useful if you have your own email domain for your small business or personal use. They will act as a backup email server for your regular domain, and also forward email on an alternate port with authentication. The service is comfortably priced at around $25 per year for a low volume of mail per month. Well worth the price to keep your mail flowing while you take your virtual office on the road!

Using an online bill payment service can make traveling for extended periods of time less stressful and eliminate the need to prepay all your bills before you leave. When combined with electronic funds transfer and automatic deposit, it might not be necessary to ever to to the old brick and mortar bank again.

Some people are afraid to use online bill payment services due to concerns about security and potential for fraud.

Online banking sites use SSL encryption which protects the information you send to the bank from casual eavesdropping. Electronic banking transactions are protected by the Federal Reserve System Electronic Fund Transfer Act, which limits liability for fraudulent transactions to a total of $50. Instances of fraud in this area have been considerably lower than other types of fraud, probably because the transactions are so well documented that it is difficult to escape with funds. Many providers limit liability for consumers to $0 as long as the transactions are entered within the correct time limits.

Of course, it is important to protect the security information for your account and change the password periodically to prevent unauthorized use of your online account. If you use a web browser in a public location, be sure to clear its cache before leaving.
