I contacted Telnic months ago and told them the management console was far too complicated; had been designed by nerds, not humans, and should be re-configured with a grid that you tick for access levels. You never get a nerd to design an interface for the public. A psychologist is better. I mean didn't these guys test it on real people? A friend of mine who bought a dottel nearly put his fist through the computer screen after 2 hours trying to access the telhosting. I have been writing a blog on dottel for 3 months and I STILL do not understand what a profile is! At the moment the only market for dottel is for companies or businesses that have a webmaster who can set them up. A very serious problem!! An absolute deal killer if they don't fix it. On the other side of the coin once the thing is up and running it is easy and a joy to use. Perhaps the answer is for people to get them set up through phone companies or websites that can throw a nerd at the problem. ie. You email the details to a nerd and the nerd enters it. Maybe this would work. But it is not immediate. Another negative. Good article.
