Celestial / Fiendish summoned creatures question

[DangerMaus]

I searched for this but didn't find a message that answered my specific question.
The celestial and fiendish templates no longer give the summon creatures an Int boost. Does this mean there is no way to communicate to with the summoned creature other than speak with animals?
That was always the nice thing about summoning them that you could tell them what to do (at least basic commands anyway).

By the time you can SM III you can get Lantern Archons and Dretches who have Int 6 and 5 respectively.

That's fine but I am thinking of playing a Malconvoker and will be summoning a lot of fiendish monsters for a while and I am just curious if my PC will have any control over them, other than attack nearest opponent.
