The Portset I S P.

The Internet Service Provider for the visually impaired.

To get onto the Internet or to send and receive Email's, you need what is called a dial-up connection to an Internet Service Provider, (ISP).

Your computer uses your normal telephone socket. A call is placed to an ISP who checks to see if you are a subscribed user. When this is done you are given access onto the web and to any email facilities to which you are entitled.

There are a lot of ISPs around but sadly they all assume that you are a visual user and require you to enter detailed information through a series of displayed boxes, known as windows. All of this could be very difficult without sighted assistance.

Portset have resolved all of these difficulties by providing a totally automatic connection solution. Not only is WebTalk installed on your computer without any sighted help needed, but also your dial-up connection is made for you to our own specialist ISP.
The Portset ISP not only provides you with a starting point onto the web at connection, but also gives you your own email address to communicate worldwide with friends and colleagues. Every time you connect to go on-line the WebTalk home page will be your first stop. The WebTalk home page includes major features of Assistance about the web, Information, a Search facility, and Links to common and specialist Internet sites. Once you are at the WebTalk home page you can go anywhere on the Internet, just enter an Internet address and off you go.

The WebTalk Email facility has been arranged to allow you to compose, send and read your mail simply and easily. Just press a key on your computer keyboard to have direct Email access. You can even compose your mail off line and it will be sent for you automatically when you connect.
The Portset ISP Email does not have advertising. This means that the only text read for you will be the information that you want to hear and the text you need to know. Without advertising to manoeuvre through, text reading is uninterrupted. Portset's ISP retains the privacy and confidentiality of your email address. Your email address is not disclosed to third parties so you can be confident that you will not receive confusing junk email. Only you will disclose your email address to people you contact or who you wish to contact you. Portset's ISP is accessed using local call rate on an 0845 number which can be accessed anywhere in the United Kingdom. Many ISP's will limit your Internet access to certain times of the day, or impose a limit of so many hours per month, but Portset's ISP does not impose a limit on your web time.

You can surf at any time and for as long as you wish. All of these benefits come from the Portset ISP at a very low cost. Less than £1 per week. Payment for Portset's ISP subscription is even easier when you take advantage of our payment options. You can even buy the software this way too.
