The discussion of Fig. 14 beginning at the bottom column 18
of Schindler indicates a Windows-based environment for imaging

The discussion at the middle of column 19 at lines 32 through 36
indicates the information services menu includes the capability

modem for voice messages. Thus, again, there is no teaching
