	Hello and welcome to the new and exciting world of AccessNet!
AccessNet is a relatively new net-mail network (Est. 4/10/91) that is
comprised of both adult and non-adult conferences or channels.  Conferences will
be referred to as channels...

	For a complete list of all channels see ACCESSNT.LST
    Also - Please check with The ACCESS Network (Home of AccessNet) for
    the latest ACCNETxx.ZIP file.  There may have been additions to the
    channels... The number is (518) 283-5716/5719.


   The purpose for creating AccessNet was simple!  We believe that participating
in net-mail should be one of the most fun and exciting parts of BBS'g!  There
are many net-mail networks out there that are a nightmare to deal with!  From
the obnoxious to the primadanas, SysOps who don't care enough about their
supporting Nodes.  Without the necessary support, setting up and maintaining a
net-mail system can be a frustrating task.   We, however, care about each and
every participating BBS - whether they are a Node, Hub, or a Regional Hub!
There are NO fees or dues that are required to become an AccessNet SysOp!  The
only requirements are that you are a friendly and responsible SysOp and
that you have PostLink software.

    AccessNet has 45 channels that are for "everyone" and 13 "adult" channels
that are available to adults only!  Having a total of 56 channels is certainly
not set in stone.  We encourage all SysOps involved with AccessNet to make make
suggestions for any new channels.  A vote will decide whether or not the
channels should be added.  By being an AccessNet SysOp, you have the right to
decide which channels you wish to carry!  The exception, unfortunately, are
those SysOps who are younger than 18.  Those who are not 18 years of age may not
carry the adult channels.

    We use PostLink software exclusively.  PostLink is probably the most
versatile and user-friendly net-mail system available!  It is set up as a door
on your BBS... Not as a front door!  Upon connecting with a BBS - one should not
have to "hit escape" to log on!  Most people who are calling a board are calling
to utilize the BBS...NOT to transfer mail.  As an internal door, PostLink will
never annoy your users!  Other features of PostLink include:  the ability to
send and request files, manage and maintain all mail transfers automatically, a
built in communications program that can write your logon scripts,
automatically allows the handling of private mail without lengthy security or ID
numbers that have no meaning, all Sites have the ability to be a HUB built into
the software!, allows you to add your BBS's Tagline, and many many other useful
and needed features.  PostLink was written by Kip Compton, author of PCRelay,
for use by PCBoard BBS software;  HOWEVER, there are many UTI drivers available
for many different types of BBS software.   As a result,  we have a very diverse
group of SysOps that relay AccessNet.   Postlink currently costs $50.00 and may
be purchased from Larry Miller of The ACCESS Network (518-283-5716/5719).
