Information about “SYSCOMM”

This is an excellent menu-driven communications package.  It comes in
three parts:

SYSCOMM is a general purpose comunications package.  It can comunicate
with other computers, transfer files, and act as your window to the
world when connected to one of the information networks.  Several
features of SYSCOMM make it easy to connect with other systems,
including auto-dialing and auto-logon.

ABSCOMM is a special purpose program used for un-attended file transfer.
Jobs are submitted to ABSCOMM to place calls at certain times of the
day and to send a list of files to the remote computer. The times can
be selected to take advantage of the lower phone rates. ABSCOMM is also
the un-attended answering software used when another system running
SYSCOMM or ABSCOMM wants to send you a file.

EDCOMM is a supplemental program.  SYSCOMM and ABSCOMM have data files
that contain initializa- tion parameters and phone directories. EDCOMM
allows the user to alter the initialization parameters and manage the
phone directories.  An additional feature is used to create auto-logon
sequences for SYSCOMM.

How to Start:  From DOS, enter EXPAND for a hard copy of the
documentation.  All the programs (marked .EXE) run from DOS.

Suggested Registration: $70.00 gets you telephone support, a printed
manual, and free updates for two years
