- PCBNet
- ------
-
- Opinion:
- --------
-
- PCBNet is a ALL PCBoard Network. There are alot of Networks out there, but I
- wanted to start a Network just for the GREATEST BBS SOFTWARE made! In my
- opinion PCBoard is that software.
-
- Software:
- ---------
-
- PCBNet currently uses the NetMail Relay Program to do mail transfers. I have
- included this program with this zip file to help speed up you joining the
- net.
-
- Hubs & Nodes:
- -------------
-
- We just started not long ago, so we are still very small, and I would like
- this Network to grow quickly. We need Hubs & Nodes, mostly Hubs at the current
- time. If you would like to be a Hub, unzip the software, and set the hub door
- up on your system. Then you will relay with the nethub, which is my system
- listed later in this file. Everything is pretty easy to set up, but if you
- have problems, you can get a hold of me by calling my BBS at the number for
- the NetHub. Once you have setup your Hub, just call the NetHub and start
- your transfers using door 52 at the current time. Right now we don't have very
- many conferences, as we need nodes to support them. I will add them as they
- are requested. You must setup 1 conference to start, that is Sysops, I'm
- using this conference for now, to do all net messages etc. we could add a
- conference just for net members at a later date. If you just want to be a
- node that's fine too. As of this typing we only had the nethub, so you will
- have to transfer there, or leave a message on my system and I will reply with
- your closest hub to use. As soon as you are setup, you can start transfers
- with the nethub, as I have it setup to accept new bbs's as for now to get
- things rolling.
-
- NetHub:
- -------
-
- The Ultimate Connection PCBoard
- (313) 232-1905 - HST 14.4 V42 Supported.
- Door 52 is the NetHub as of this date.
-
- Taglines:
- ---------
-
- I do ask that all hubs and nodes set there taglines as:
- [PCBNet] BBS info...............................
- I want the [PCBNet] as the first thing in your tagline, that way all will
- know what net we are, and there will be no problems in this area. Here is a
- sample of my tag to help you undestand what I mean:
- [PCBNet] The Ultimate Connection - Flint, Mi - 313-232-1905
- Please have this set, before you start transfering mail.
-
- More Information:
- -----------------
-
- More info can be recieved by calling the nethub and leaving a message to the
- sysop. I will reply as soon as possable.
-
- Hubs:
- -----
-
- We will give hubs there name as HUB?? as the ??'s are there 2 letter state
- abb. If you are a hub, use the HUB?? as your BBS ID. Nodes can pick any
- id right now, later there could be a sign in time first as id's could
- become doubled. If you decide to become a hub, you can without any nodes
- right now, that could change later. But I do ask once you are setup and
- transfering to try to get nodes from your state to join in, this file will be
- posted on Salt Air. But word of mouth helps alot in starting a new net.
-
- Conferences:
- ------------
-
- As conferences could grow quickly, I have decided to not list any here. Once
- you have joined I will set it to send you a list of current conferences.
- Plus you may request any new ones at that time. But if you request it be
- available to be the host of it. Just set Sysops up as your first conference,
- be sure to list it in the software as SYSOPS as that is the net name for that
- conference.
-
- Net Helpers:
- ------------
-
- As we grow I will be asking for people to help out in different areas, like
- a person to set up new conferences, etc. Basicly the people to help out so
- one person doesn't have to do everything.
-
- Final Note:
- -----------
-
- Please unzip the software and join today. I know this file was written
- kinda quickly to get it out, if anyone would like to write a better one for
- the net that's fine. Just send it to NETHUB, when you have it done. Thanks
- for reading this file, and I hope I can say welcome aboard soon...
