- ATTENTION BALTIMORE AREA MODEM USERS
-
- Starting Feburary 1, 1993 The NetWork BBS will begin offering Internet
- Mail and USENET News to its callers. Subscription rates are very reasonable
- with discount rates starting at $25/year for unlimited access to all features
- of the system. [To put this into perspective, other systems in the area
- charge up to $35 a MONTH!]
-
- The NetWork is a 5-line dialup bulletin board system running PCBoard BBS
- software. If you haven't experienced the conveinience of USENET on a
- PC-based BBS you don't know what you're missing! Not only do you have
- full email connectivity to the entire Internet "world", but you get an
- easy-to-use ANSI interface. Subscribers have access to our offline mail
- program that lets you DOWNLOAD your mail/news and read it OFFLINE;
- you then callback to UPLOAD your replies - saving valuable access time.
-
- In addition to Internet/USENET connectivity, The NetWork offers access
- to 2 major PC-based international echo-mail netoworks (RIME and Intelec)
- that provide email connectivity to hundreds of BBSes around the world,
- plus a file base that consists of over 1.3 GIGABYTES of MS-DOS programs
- (inlcluding the full SIMTEL MSDOS Internet Archive on CD!). The NetWork
- is an official distribution site for major shareware producers including
- Apogee (the BEST shareware entertainment) and McAfee (famous for
- superior virus protection).
-
- All profits received from user subscriptions go directly to support the
- system. Any money received above and beyond the cost of operation
- goes to help purchase computer equipment for local charities.
-
- If you've been disappointed by the services offered by LOCAL dialup
- systems, then you owe it to yourself to call The NetWork today! You
- can subscribe on-line using your Visa/Mastercard for an INSTANT
- security upgrade.
-
- NOTE - Subscription prices will soon increase as the cost of a USENET
- feed is very expensive. Subscribe soon to get a great introductory price!
-
- Questions can be forwarded to howie@fnma.com until our feed is
- actrivated. I look forward to your call! First time callers have instant
- access to 600Megs of files, and all PC echomail network conferences.
