I was approached by a man from Intellience Communication Services (I think
thats the company) about a product that their company is reselling called
'blast'. Apparently it is a GREAT (:-) program that does EVERYTHING (Ever
heard of these before?)

Actually it was described to me as almost a uucp/kermit/terminal program 
replacement for the Xenix, Unix, MSDOS, BTOS, etc operating system inter-
connectivity. It allows for file transfer between the various operating
systems from a menuing system so your users don't have to learn unix to
use the thing.

My question is this, is there anyone out there who has a copy of this
program that is working in a semi-rough enviroment and is working correctly?
I'd like to hear the scoop about all these beer runs that you guys take
anyway!
