What is Intercom

Intercom aimes to be a high-quality voice communication tool for use over the InterNet or a local area network. As needs in this area are diverse, it allows many of its audio parameters to be changed by the user, enabling one to choose between voice quality and bandwidth consumption. The customizability doesn't end there however. Command hooks and conditional execution make it possible for external programs and environment variables to influence Intercom's behavior.
