About

Built by a tech, for techs.

Dialsoft LLC logo

Dialsoft LLC is a small software publisher in Wharton, New Jersey. Our Windows tools come straight out of day-to-day IT work: every one of them started as a problem we kept hitting in the field and couldn't find a good tool for.

Our BBS software comes from somewhere more personal. We were there for the multi-line chat systems of the early 90s — and we're rebuilding the best of that era so it runs on today's machines and networks.
