Intellicomm v1.00 
        
Intellicomm is a modern communications program designed for BBS work, and
capable of operating in manual, semi-automatic, automatic, and unattended
modes.
       
Intellicomm supports only ANSI-BBS terminal emulation.  Eight built-in file
transfer protocols are provided, and eight external protocols may be used.
Additional features include a text editor, an ASCII file viewer, a back
scroll buffer, a file management utility, and two assignable hot keys. The
program is capable of swapping itself out to disk or XMS/EMS while shelling
to DOS.
        
Most of Intellicomm's automation is derived from a dialing directory that
consists of a separate "BIF" file for each BBS to be called.  Each BIF can
contain enough details of its board's operation to permit the program to
create jobs similar to scripts, specific to the operation of the BBS. This
way, the interaction with each called BBS can be configured to practically
any degree of automation the user wants.
         
Installing Intellicomm is very simple.  Once the component files are copied
or unzipped into a directory, the setup program is started by typing GO.
Between the intelligent setup program and the very clearly detailed "Quick
Start" document it is difficult to go wrong.  The BIF's require a lot of
attention, but only because building them is a little tedious.
        
Running Intellicomm is delightful.  Registration reminders are unobtrusive
and polite, and all the screens are clean, modern, tasteful, and very color
configurable.
                                                             
Intellicom is fully mouseable, and compatible with DOS 5.0, DESQview 386,
and Windows 3.1.
       
With all this talent, Intellicomm is amazingly compact. Installed, the
program files require a directory of about 325k. Only 290k worth of RAM is
required to run Intellicomm, and the main executable, ICOM.EXE, is sized at
about 150k.
              
Registration is a bargain at $29.95 US.  This fee is discounted $10 for
anyone who submits proof of purchase from whatever competing product
Intellicomm is to replace.
