                   ILink International Echo Mail Network   
   
  ILink is the first QWK mail network.  We are the largest QWK mail 
  network in terms of number of messages exchanged.  Our 200+ 
  internationally recognized BBSs are located in Africa; Asia, including 
  the Republic of China and Pakistan; Canada; Europe; South America; and 
  throughout the USA.  We exchange tens of thousands of messages each 
  month in conferences that are of interest to today's callers.  
  
  We offer over 200 conferences on a wide variety of topics.  Our WIN95, 
  HTML Programming, New Users, Opinion, Pets, Politics, Writers, Seniors, 
  ChitChat, Relationships, OS/2, Buy-Sell, Legal, and Hardware conferences 
  (to name just a few) are very active.
    
  ILink conferences are hosted and suitable for a general audience; our 
  hosts introduce new topics for discussion, and point off-topic 
  conversations toward a more appropriate forum.  You will find no x-rated 
  discussions, profanity, or flames.  
  
  As a member of ILink, you'll participate in a thriving, growing network 
  that provides an "oasis of civility in the maelstrom" (as described by 
  Business Week Magazine).
