protocol must be installed.
z a computer with an Intel or AMD processor and hard-
ware suitable for the operating system.
z computer with a USB port
z operating system Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Me,

computer with a Pentium processor and 16 MB RAM is
recommended.
z To operate FRITZ!fon or any other telephony software, a
full-duplex sound card and equipment for speech input
and output over the sound card are required (headset,
for instance).
