> >I don't know what Battlefield Communicator is

> Battlefield Communicator is a utility which provides real-time voice
> communications for multiplayer games over the Internet and local
> area networks.  The current version supports up to 15 players and
> a future version will extend this.

> I'll keep from rambling on about features and sounding like an
> adverti***t.  Drop by our website and check it out.

> If anyone has questions, I'd be more then happy to answer them.

> Version 1.0 of the software was released just last week, ending
> a public beta which involved more then 9000 users.  A demo
> version is available from our web-site:
