     Hello and welcome to the exciting world of AccessNet!  AccessNet
was established on April 10th of 1991.  What makes AccessNet different
is that professionalism and quality come first.  AccessNet has the
friendliest group of SysOps whose collective concern for friendliness
and fun, keeps the callers coming back for more!

     The purpose for creating AccessNet was simple.  We believe that
participating in net-mail should be one of the most fun and exciting
activities of BBS'g!  There are many netmail networks out there that
somehow leave you feeling humiliated.  From the obnoxious to the
primadanas, Hubs that don't care enough about their supporting Nodes.
Without the necessary support, setting up and maintaining a netmail
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!

     We do NOT have moderators in our network... We have Conference
Hosts. Hosts are there to stimulate conversation, not to stifle it.
Our policy on adding new conferences to the network rests on the
placement of a qualified and friendly host to that conference. We
depend on the ideas and suggestions from those who participate in the
network for direction and growth.

     We use Postlink netmail software to move our mail.  Although
Postlink was written for PCBoard, it supports many other BBS packages
through the use of UTI (Universal Text Interface) drivers.  At this
time we know that the following BBS packages have UTI's written for
them: Wildcat 3.x & 4.x, Spitfire, RBBS, Remote Access, TriBBS.  There
may be others we are not aware of, check with your bulletin board
software author.

     Postlink is a very versatile and user-friendly netmail package.
It is setup as a door on your BBS... Not as a front door!  (Upon
connecting with a BBS - one should not have to 'Hit Escape twice...'
to log on!  Afterall, most people who are calling your board are
calling to utilize the BBS...NOT to transfer mail.)  As an internal
door, Postlink will never annoy your users! Other features include:
the ability to send and request files, manage and maintain all mail
transfers automatically, a built in communications program that can
automatically write your logon scripts, allows the handling of private
and encrypted mail without lengthy security or ID numbers that have
confused meaning, Hub software is built in, allows you to add your
BBS's Tagline, and many many other useful and needed features.

     In order to obtain PostLink, Please contact Bonnie Anthony of the
Rime (RelayNet) network.  Her BBS numbers are: 301-229-5342/5623.
PostLink currently  costs $50.00 to purchase (mention AccessNet to get
a $15.00 discount).  There is no shareware version.  If you have any
questions about PostLink or need any assistance in purchasing or
setting it up - do not hesitate to call either Robert Parsons or Larry
Miller. (See below for numbers)

     AccessNet has many different types of BBS systems in our network.
As a result, we have a diverse group of SysOps that make up AccessNet.
AccessNet does NOT have ANY yearly fees!  AccessNet is a
not-for-profit network.  For a complete list of all available
conferences, please refer to ACCESSNT.LST.
