- Free Software Update Offers New Features, Enhanced VoIP Service 
Provider Integration, and Extended Diagnostics to Simplify Installations

TalkSwitch(R), the leader in the design and manufacture of innovative
telephone systems for small and multi-location businesses, and its United
Kingdom distributor Intramation, today announced the release of TalkSwitch
management software 6.10 in the UK & Ireland.

The free software update offers TalkSwitch users new features for
enhanced call handling flexibility and increased productivity, including the
ability to integrate with multiple Internet Telephony Service Providers, with
fail-over to PSTN for added security, plus more extensive diagnostic
capabilities to simplify VoIP deployment.

In addition, users will notice a dramatic new Java-based graphical user
interface that enhances the intuitive configuration experience, provides
extensive help messaging for guidance, and makes installations even simpler.

"This software makes setting up and configuring a TalkSwitch system a
snap," said Jan Scheeren, President and CEO, TalkSwitch. "And our customers
are going to love the new things we've added in, such as the ability to take
advantage of the offerings from multiple service providers. Software 6.10
gives unprecedented flexibility and control and further establishes
TalkSwitch as the right choice for small businesses."

For the first time customers have the option of integrating with up to 4
different service providers on a single system, allowing them to take
advantage of the best offerings from each. If a certain service provider has
great rates on local calling they can use that provider, then select a
different one that has better long distance or international rates. It's a
great way to save money and get the most value and return on their phone
system purchase.

There is also a built-in diagnostic tool that allows users to instantly
check the status of firewall ports to ensure optimal connectivity for VoIP
networking.

"The release of the version 6.10 software has made a great phone system
even better," said Darren Wooding, Managing Director, Intramation.
"TalkSwitch have listened to feedback from customers to create a new,
intuitive look as well as bringing in great features such as system speed
dials and unified messaging. With TalkSwitch already offering voicemail for
all users, music on hold and analogue and VoIP support as standard, it is the
best small business phone system value on the market today."

Remote management capabilities have been enhanced with support for
centralized administration of TalkSwitch system, making TalkSwitch an even
more attractive proposition for administrators and value added resellers
seeking to manage networks of TalkSwitch systems across different locations.
