Everything about Datastorm Technologies
Company that made computer communications software
Datastorm Technologies, Inc., was a computer software company that existed from 1986 until 1996. Bruce Barkelew and Thomas Smith founded the company to develop and publish ProComm, a general-purpose communications program for personal computers. ProComm flourished in the pre-World Wide Web world, when personal computers used modems to connect over telephone lines with other individual computers, online services such as CompuServe, bulletin board systems (BBSs), Telnet and Gopher sites, and the like. Datastorm was the first company to evolve from a shareware publisher into a large commercial software publisher. ProComm 2.4.3 for MS-DOS is still available as shareware. Wikipedia →
