RELAYNET(TM) INFORMATION AND MESSAGE EXCHANGE
Relaynet(tm) is one of the oldest national networks. We
support over 190 conferences with over 375 boards throughout
the U.S., Canada, Europe and the Middle East. The activity
level of our conferences produce between 800K and 1.2 meg of
mail daily (the amount of mail you receive daily of course
depends on the number of conferences your board relays
daily.) Our topics range from product and software support
sponsored by authors to current events, political
discussions, an on-line AA meeting, hardware support such as
USR, Ashton-Tate, Iomega and Harddisks and we also have small
amounts of exchanged mail with MediaNet, MetroLink and
QLink.
With a two node 386 stand alone system running v.32 modems as our
NetHub, Regional Hubs do not have to compete with BBS users
for mail transfers. Many of us are pc-pursuitable and allow
transfers at 2400 as well as higher speeds. A dependable
back up system is in place in case of NetHub failure (such as
an already experienced tornado!). For those of you who are
Hayes oriented - we offer a v.42 19,200 Hayes modem access as
well. With an established Super Regional System we offer
even more flexibilty for mail transfer. Super Regional
systems are committed to three daily transfers and stand
alone night time transfer setups.
We use the best networking software available with mail
turnaround times potentially of less than one day!
We consider ourselves a social network, with an open
structure. Our requirments for joining are small - an
interest in networking with 375 other boards across the
world, a willingness to join in and help where necessary and
contribute to the conferences that YOU enjoy reading,
ownership of PCRelay software and a small membership fee.
Because we have a wide spread regional hub system you are
probably fairly close to any one of our 50+ regional hubs
across the country and Europe. Each one of them would be more
than happy to provide you access as a node, or you can call a
Super Regional hub system directly if you choose to be a hub.
There are a few rules to be followed:
1) Aliases are not permitted (except in designated conferences)
but sysop-permitted-benign-aliases for whatever reason the
sysop decides (such as Joe Green) are of course no concern of
the network.
2) All nodes must take one conference - the COMMON conference
so that any user is able to reach any other user in the
network. With over 375 boards we want our users to be able to
quickly find a common link from board to board.
