                           About The Intelec Network
                          ---------------------------
      Quality  has  been our biggest claim to fame and is our most important
      growth factor.  Intelec is built upon  other high standards  as  well,
      like   diversity  and integrity!  Our main focus is on quality  as any
      network can generate useless bulk mail! What does  Intelec  represent?
      Important  issues,  tech support and dedication  to the BBS user.  Our
      Admin conference is fully public so any  User or SysOp is  welcome  to
      voice  his  or her opinions or offer their suggestions to the network.

      For  PCBoard  we support RoseMail, Rnet, Qnet and Cam-Mail,  and other
      BBS's use QWiKerNet, Jnet, GAPQwk software. Our  our  membership  inc-
      ludes  PCBoard,  Wildcat, Gap, Spitfire, TriBBS, and more, all working
      together seamlessly! We are  officially  a  QWK-based  network  so  no
      PostLink  and  no  additional  PCRelay  applicants.   Sorry  folks....

      Intelec  also  has among it's membership several author-supported con-
      ferences  and authors who support their software in one of  our  other
      conferences  such  as BBS-Door, SysOps, PCBoard, Communication & more.

                           About the Intelec Founder
                          ---------------------------

       In mid 1989 there was a need for a network based on the  philosophy
       that  a network can be administrated  without all the "politics and
       petty personality clashes"  which are still very widespread  today.
       While  Intelec, as most networks did, started out rather small, our
       growth was more rapid than most.  Growth  can cause severe  growing
       pains  in some networks but it did not seem to affect Intelec as we
       always maintained a keen focus on what was important.  For as  long
       as  the focus is maintained, Intelec will always be one of the more
       popular networks available to any BBS's users.

       Intelec was previously named NetPro but that name was  short-lived.
       Intelec  Online,  in operation since October of 1985,  was the host
       system for the Intelec Network  and soon after the network  adopted
       its  name.  The Intelec Network was founded by Cliff Watkins and it
       was molded with the help of folks like Dave Calmer, Gordon  Lincoln
       and  many others. Cliff's vision of how a network should be run was
       unique in the respect that he felt  at  home  being  "down  in  the
       trenches"  and not  behind some committee of bureaucratic red tape.

       Sadly,  Cliff is no longer the administrator of the Intelec Network
       but his vision will continue  through those of us he has  inspired.
       In  May of 1993 Cliff passed the torch to a veteran Intelec member,
       Dave Calmer.  Cliff and Dave are longtime friends  and  both  share
       the  same  vision  of how the Intelec Network should be run. Cliff,
       known to his comrades as  "The Benevolent Dictator"  was unique  in
       how  he operated the network.  His sense of fairness, gentle nature
       and insights were key to Intelec's success.  And this success  will
       continue  under the leadership of Dave Calmer. Cliff will be missed
       almost as much as Cliff will miss doing what he loved most. But  if
       there's  one thing you can count on, it's that he will always be in
       the  hearts  and  minds  of  those   of   us   inspired   by   him.
