SPECIAL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

	HARDWARE

		1 MB Chip RAM.

		Hard drive recommended.  You may be able to run it from
		floppies, but it wouldn't be pretty since it's 1.5 megabytes
		unzipped.

	SOFTWARE

		AmigaDOS 2.04 or higher.


MACHINE USED FOR TESTING

	Amiga 2000, 1 meg Chip RAM, 3 meg Fast RAM
	20 megabyte hard drives
	Kickstart and Workbench 2.04


LIKES

	Well, this is one of the best communications programs I have seen
for the Amiga.  Its features beat all the other communications programs I
have ever used.  It has a nice voice feature which announces what it's doing
while dialing (i.e., "Line Busy").  One of the best features is that it's
free!


DISLIKES AND SUGGESTIONS

	Not much wrong with it, except that some heavy requirements might
stop some users of Amiga 500 and 1000 and other non-hard-drive systems from
using this really nice program.


CONCLUSIONS

	I would recommend this program to just about everybody, except users
without hard drives.
