- SHORT VERSION
-
- HS/Link Bi-directional Protocol. HS/Link is a high speed, single and
- bi-directional file transfer protocol with many advanced features. It is
- EASY to set up and runs very fast with all kinds of modems. Now includes
- ONLINE CHAT mode. FHSLINK.EXE now supports FOSSIL drivers.

- EXTENDED VERSION

- HS/Link is a file transfer protocol driver capable of simultaneous "CHAT",
- transmission of computer files, and reception of files, at high speeds.
- HS/Link has built-in error correction and is easily installed in most
- telecommunication programs and bulletin board systems. Bidirectional file
- transfer means that uploading and downloading of files can take place
- simultaneously, thus reducing file transfer time up to 50% on many long
- distance phone calls.
-
- The HS/Link protocol is now used on thousands of bulletin board systems
- worldwide, and is frequently used to transport large volumes of message
- traffic in echo networks.

- granted such a license for their type of distribution (if not, special
- written authorization is required). Other important information is also
- presented.
-
