From the software vendors viewpoint, what are the differences?
The differences in the products include: a) USB Port Required: Both 2000 and MVP require a USB computer connection instead of a serial port connection. b) Windows® 98: Both PhoneTree® 2000 and MVP require Windows® 98 (The ISA version operates on Windows® 95 but requires an ISA slot be available for each line for a maximum of four. c) File Creation: While PhoneTree® Plus, PhoneTree® 2000 and PhoneTree® MVP read ASCII files, the manner by which the file is imported differs. Users will be required to produce a file from their software for importing into 2000 and MVP. d) Concurrent Software Operation: In order to avoid using floppy disks to move files from one computer to another, PhoneBase software must be running on the same computer or network as your database management software in order to import files. e) Importing: While PhoneTree® Plus can accept a direct download from your church software, 2000 and MVP contain a drop down window to import files.
