Notes
on using call accounting on a network
Ultimate!
Call Accounting is not a network product. It
can be used by only one person at a time. It
can however be put on a network.
Reports can be generated and saved as files,
which can then be shared with other users. These
reports are saved in a text format which can
be easily viewed in notepad or word processors.
PcAnywhere
can also be used to remotely operate call accounting
through a network or modem, but only one person
can use it at a time.
If
you wish to put call accounting on your server,
this can be done also, as long as only one person
at a time uses it.
When using call accounting on a server or PcAnywhere
on a server you may need to consider the security
risks to your network.
