Introduction

The Linksys EtherFast ® Cable/DSL Voice Enabler
Congratulations on your purchase of a Instant Broadband EtherFast
Cable/DSL Voice Enabler powered by Net2Phone
Cable/DSL Voice Enabler powered by Net2Phone
using your high-speed broadband Internet connection to place Voice Over IP
telephone calls. † With the Voice Enabler added to your existing Internet
router, you can easily enable any network solution to instantly make phone
calls over the Internet. An ordinary telephone connects to the RJ-11 port
(telephone jack) on the back of the Voice Enabler, and calls are routed by
Net2Phone's superior quality network to anywhere in the world—significantly
reducing long distance charges.
Phone calls made over your high-speed Internet connection are clear and reli-
able because of superior technology—much clearer than standard phone calls
over the Internet. And because you are using a standard telephone, there are no
worries about incompatibility or making sound cards, modems, speakers, and
microphones work together. None of your PCs even have to be turned on to
make calls, so there's no waiting for your PC to boot up to make a call. The
EtherFast ® Cable/DSL Voice Enabler handles all of your telephony needs once
added to your existing router, switch or hub that's connected to the Internet.

About Net2Phone

Net2Phone is a leading provider of voice-enhanced Internet communications
services to individuals and businesses.
Recognized as the company that first bridged the Internet with the public
switched telephone network, Net2Phone routes millions of minutes daily over
the Internet. Using its advanced IP (Internet Protocol) network and technolo-
gies, Net2Phone routes voice and other value-added applications worldwide.
Internet calls are less expensive than traditional phone calls primarily because
these calls are routed over the Internet. All NetPhone initiated phone calls are
made through special gateways that reduce echoing and cross-talk, resulting in
high-quality phone calls. Bypassing much of the traditional phone network
makes it possible for Net2Phone to provide incredibly low rates for the millions
of calls it delivers worldwide.
