Chat and Collaborate

Cristina Gair

Sharing or marking up a document while talking with a colleague just got as easy as walking and chewing gum at the same time. JRI Group’s Tel-A-Graph software lets you exchange and collaborate on documents while conversing via phones connected through your PCs’ modems and it’s all done on the same phone line. We found Tel-A-Graph to be easy to use, with a familiar Microsoft Office-like design. For our test drive, we dialed a coworker, launched a Word document, and made our changes with no trouble. For security’s sake, the program offers password verification so snoopers can’t see files or operate applications on your PC. At $20 for one person and $30 for a pair, it’s bound to boost your cooperation with coworkers and clients. Tel-A-Graph, 888-544-4204, www.tel-a-graph.com
