SecureCom

SecureCom is a relatively small and fast personal communication Shareware program. It is designed to hook two people up directly (without using the IRC channels, servers, IP servers, etc.) for a one-on-one personal text mode chat.

SecureCom utilizes two "Hailing features" to accomplish this. One Hailing feature uses a built in seamless e-mail facility to send your current IP address to another SecureCom user in a specially coded e-mail letter. The other user (who is checked into the net and has SecureCom running in Monitor ON mode) will receive the message and prompt him to connect or not connect.

The other Hailing feature utilizes the use of an internal TCP/IP server that listens on a preassigned port for direct connection requests. One SecureCom user can Hail another user via the Internet and/or a Lan directly by just knowing their IP address. It sends the Hail (connection request) directly to the IP address and is handled by SecureCom's internal server that prompts the user to accept or decline the connection.

Either of these Hailing methods can be used independently of one another.

One button Hailing makes it a simple and painless way to connect on the Internet or the local network..

No other servers, e-mail or support software are needed.

Requirements
OS/2 version requires Warp with TCP/IP installed (or the Warp 3.0 IAK) and an internet connection with a mail account.

Windows 95/NT version requires Windows 95 or Windows NT with TCP/IP installed and an internet connection with a mail account.
