Overview
              Voicent Gateway is a VoiceXML 
              gateway server. It offers a high-level development platform for 
              interactive telephony applications. 
              Our technical breakthroughs allow us to achieve great 
              reliability and usability using simple voice modems instead of more 
              expensive telephony cards. With the savings in hardware and 
              software, it is now feasible to develop and market a wide range of 
              telephony applications at much lower prices. 
              Voicent Gateway is also ideal for distributed applications. By 
              deploying gateways in different geographic locations and connect 
              them with the internet, there is virtually no limit on 
              scalability. And as an added benefit, such application can completely 
              avoid long-distance phone charges. 
              This tutorial contains step-by-step instructions to develop an 
              inbound application (timeofday) and a outbound application (callnow). 
              More advanced topics related to outbound applications are 
              covered in the Gateway Outbound Application 
              Tutorial.
