The Magic Cap operating system includes a new mobile agent technology named Telescript.

When the Magic Cap devices were delivered, the only Place for agents to travel was the PersonaLink service provided by AT&T.

The payload carried by these agents was also hampered by the slow dial-up modem speed of 2400 bit/s.

As a result, deployment of agent-based technology was incredibly difficult, and never reached fruition before the PersonaLink service was shut down.
