WEBPAL


A The WebPal Internet Box converts a television set (or VGA monitor) into a device that can access the Internet. The box is operated by its own hand-held remote control unit, a wireless keyboard is also available for use. WebPal's built-in 33.6Kbps modem lets you surf the net, through a regular voice grade telephone line, at very high speeds.

The supplied IR keyboard eases data entry without messy data cables.
