notes: label: Description
content: This unopened box with a reference manual and software relates to the VeriFone (see 2000.0206.01 for a related product, the Phone Plus). The Phone Plus, a smart screen telephone designed and released by U.S. Order in 1994, was created to appeal to the home user. It was an enhanced "information appliance" that combined the functions of a telephone with Internet packet-switching technology and included banking and shopping features. This "home transaction terminal" had limited functions, however, and failed because users had already turned to the Web for these same features. VeriFone Inc., a leader in point-of-sale terminal hardware and software, purchased the technology from U.S. Order and continued to develop hardware and software for the home banking and retail markets. TXO was a trademark taken out by VeriFone in 1992 for computer software relating to transaction automation terminals.
