Ever been dumbfounded by the effect your Internet usage has on your monthly telephone account, or wondered how you could possibly have spent that amount of time online?
Internet service provider Intekom offers an easy and effective solution to the problem with Net Timer Pro (NTP 3.3), an Internet timer that can be downloaded free of charge from Inzuzo, Intekom`s interactive portal for small to medium businesses.
Net Timer Pro enables users who connect to the Internet via a PC and modem to monitor accurately how much time they spend on the Internet, and more importantly, how much it is costing them.
"Intekom wanted to offer a free facility to users which would both enhance the benefits of the Internet, and allow them to keep tab of the costs," says Chris van Zyl, marketing manager at Intekom.
According to van Zyl, Net Timer Pro from http://www.inzuzo.co.za is available to all Internet users - not just Intekom subscribers.
"Any Internet user can download the software," says van Zyl. "The product is less than 1.4MB in size, virus free, and requires Windows 95/98/NT and a modem dial-up connection.
"To download the facility, users will need to fill in a short questionnaire for update purposes," he adds.
Net Timer is linked to Telkom call rates and will give a running total of the cost of the telephone connection - be it during business hours or over weekends. It also takes into account the various Telkom rates, in terms of peak hours, off peak, weekends or public holidays.
Another feature of Net Timer is its quick link to the Inzuzo Web site and the Aardvark search engine from the desktop.
NetTimer Pro was awarded Five Stars by SuperShareware.com for its hassle-free downloading, ease of use, and effectiveness in controlling the time spent on-line.
