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.
