time. With DBA you hear the audio instantly as you receive it and perhaps
best of all, the Plugin is FREE. You can download Delta Beta's Audio Plugin

and reusability combine to allow for the rapid development and prototyping
of web-based applications, under either Microsoft¹s ActiveX or Netscape¹s
