SHORT DESCRIPTION:

Easy Comm is an easy-to-use, general purpose, communication program for
IBM PC compatible microcomputers. Easy Comm allows communicating with
remote computers through the modem or through the direct link (COM port).
All functions of Easy Comm can be selected either from pull-down menus or
by pressing short-cut keys.

DESCRIPTION:

Easy Comm is a general purpose communication program. Easy Comm
allows communicating with remote computers through the modem or through the
direct link (COM port). You can upload files to or download files from the
remote system using one of the several built-in file transfer protocols
(XModem, YModem, YModemG, ASCII). Emulation of ANSI and VT100 terminals is
supported by Easy Comm. Another useful feature is a 10-screen buffer for
a modem window which allows you viewing the last 10 screens of the modem
window text. Connecting with a remote system is very easy - just add a new
entry to the dial directory if it does not exist, set all the required
parameters including the phone number, and press Alt-D. All new entries in
the dial directory will be automatically stored on your disk. A chat mode
is a convenient way of conducting a dialog with a remote system user.
Auto-login feature of Easy Comm allows you to write simple scripts for
automatic logging in to remote systems. Modem control strings can be
customized for your modem requirements.

Easy Comm also has a built-in, very flexible, text editor. It allows
editing multiple files simultaneously. Each file will be opened in a
separate window. Most functions can be selected from pull-down menus so you
do not have to remember any commands (using mouse). More experienced users
can invoke many commands with a single or double-key stroke (hot keys). If
you have a problem or are not sure about something you can use a
context-sensitive, on-line help by pressing F1 key.

You can customize some features of Easy Comm. You can change the colors of
edit windows, dialog boxes and other elements of the user interface.

Easy Comm allows printing files. You can define various printer settings
in a Print Options dialog box. You can also define headers and footers.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
