Thank you for requesting information about UNICOM Information Services.

We've been online for over 3 years, and are truly one of the few
"business only" online services for small business owner, business
professionals and managers in existence today.

When you access UNICOM, you will have the option to join one of our
conferences.  They include:

* The 'Original' Strictly Business!BBS - An information exchange service
  for entrepreneurs, managers and business professionals.  DON'T
  EXCEPT ANY SUBSTITUTES!   Founded in 1990, you will find e-mail
  discussions on different topics, informative articles on starting,
  expanding and better managing an enterprise.  We provide valuable
  insight and current techniques on marketing & sales, raising
  financing, franchising, business & marketing planning, plus much
  more.  You will find our Conference Leaders ready and willing to
  help answer most of your business-related questions.  We provide an
  extensive library of how-to type information, plus thousands of
  shareware and public domain software programs for your computing
  needs.

* Int'l Trade Conference - If you're interested in importing or
  exporting, you'll find ITC a benefit to your needs.  We offer
  current TRADE LEADS and CALENDAR OF EVENTS to help you identify
  trade opportunities or attend trade shows, fairs or conferences.
  You'll find our online database easy to use and completely
  searchable.  And when you find the information you need, download
  the file(s) with any of the more popular protocols.  We also
  provide information on ISO9000, profile of countries, marketing
  and sales, importing/exporting, plus general global information.
  ITC is free with a Strictly Business!BBS membership.

* Columbus News Connection - If you are interested in posting a
  news release, or need filler for your corporate newsletter, CNC
  will benefit you tremendously.  Even though CNC is targeted for
  central Ohio, there are many articles of interest to everyone.
  CNC offers the Columbus Women In Communications (WICI) directory,
  and current press lists for the Columbus area.

* The Daily Reporter - Columbus' oldest daily business newspaper is
  now available online.  There are two conferences available: NEWS
  and LISTINGS.  NEWS brings you editorials and stories from the
