MAJOR BBS AND TELIX BACK RIP GRAPHICAL INTERFACE
 ------------------------------------------------

Galacticomm, Inc. announced on February 1 an alliance with deltaComm
Development, and TeleGrafix Communications, Inc. to unite BBS technology and
terminal software development toward an online graphics standard.

deltaComm develops the popular Telix terminal communications program.
TeleGrafix is developing the Remote Imaging Protocol (RIP) - RIPscrip, a
graphics protocol designed specifically for BBS applications.

"Our mutual goal is to greatly simplify the operation and use of bulletin
board systems by the computing world, " comments Galacticomm Vice President
Scott Brinker. "This means having a common graphics standard that is
supported by both leading BBS and terminal program manufacturers. We've
chosen the RIPscrip solution because of its elegance and portability. And we
couldn't be prouder about working with the Telix development team."

TeleGrafix CEO Jeff Reeder says, "RIPscrip - a Remote Imaging Protocol - is
more efficient and flexible than the NAPLPS (North American Presentation
Level Protocol Syntax) standard used by Prodigy. Since we have a lot of
experience in the BBS world, we were really able to target the needs of BBS
operators and users. Almost any BBS can implement RIPscrip support, and we're
particularly pleased that The Major BBS and Telix are joining forces to
support it as an integrated feature."

"Telix development has always been driven by the needs of its users," says
deltaComm President Jeff Woods. "Now, more than ever, we're hearing the need
for a common graphical standard. By working with Galacticomm and TeleGrafix,
we intend to lead the way to a dazzling future of online graphics and
eventually multimedia. This is just the beginning. The alliance of BBS
vendors and term program vendors has been long overdue. There are a number of
ways we can work hand-in-hand with Galacticomm to provide more benefit to our
mutual customers."

A major new release of Telix is expected this summer at the ONE BBSCON. Over
800,000 people use Telix as their preferred terminal software. Galacticomm is
expected to release Version 6.1 of The Major BBS sometime this spring, and
Brinker did hint that integrated RIPscrip support would be included. For more
