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! <smile>
AccessNet is just like cable TV: We offer 15 general type conferences and
an Internet EMail address as part of our "basic" package (NOTE: currently, only
those using RoseMail software or a UUCP program can have an Internet Email
address). On top of the basic group, we offer the "extended" conferences.
These are specific UseNet newsgroups that you choose to carry. Other than the
initial, ONE TIME, $15.00 registration fee, the basic AccessNet package is free.
If you wish to carry any of the UseNet newsgroups, there is a very reasonable
fee that you will pay to your Hub. AccessNet is a not-for-profit network. For
a complete list of all available conferences and newsgroups, please refer to
ACCESSNT.LST. For more information on the pricing of UseNet newsgroups, please
refer to USENET.$$$.
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, SysOps who 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 currently use PostLink and RoseMail software to transfer our mail.
NOTE: In order to make AccessNet more widely available, any compatable QWK
format system will be OK to use! Both PostLink and RoseMail are designed for
PCBoard systems; however, there are many UTI drivers available to make PostLink
compatible with other BBS systems. RoseMail will be coming out with a version
(very soon) that will be compatible with a wide variety of popular bulletin
board systems without the need for a UTI driver. The big plus about RoseMail
is that it is FREE to all PCBoard SysOps! Although not official yet - it is
said that it will be FREE to ALL SysOps (when the general version comes out).
Both programs are versatile and user-friendly net-mail systems. Either
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' 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 or RoseMail will never annoy your users!
Other features of both systems 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 little meaning, Hub software is built in, allows you to add
your BBS's Tagline, and many many other useful and needed features. An added
bonus for RoseMail is that it is also an OFFLINE QWK mail door!
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. PostLink
currently costs $50.00. My suggestion is that if you do not already own a
copy of PostLink DON'T buy it!! RoseMail is a much better system and it is
FREE software (see above).
