Users of voice mail can see their messages displayed graphically through CallWare ViewPoint or in the GroupWise Universal Mail Box. CallWare voice mail solutions also use the Internet as a mechanism to provide global communication without long-distance charges.
According to Tom Gammon, vice president of MicroAge strategic products and services, "CallWare's software enables our resellers to add computer telephony applications to our large range of products and services.
