In light of the extensive attacks and redicule of the I-Comm browser, 
which I consider highly revolutionary for community networks needs, 
particularly those running operating systems that are not compatible with 
GUI, e.g. FreePort, I am re-posting the fact sheet of the 
browser/terminal. 

All I can say is that I personally tried it on the Finnish Network - that 
adopted it as 'its browser' - which still runs FreePort. It is a 
magnificent addition.

   computer users, I-Comm only requires a PC with Windows, a modem and an
