----------------- SCIENCE FACTOR SCIENCE NETWORK --------------------
AUGUST 1992 [SFNET] 08.01.92
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A SCIENCE-EDUCATIONAL-PROFESSIONAL-ENGINEERING MESSAGE NETWORK
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[SFNET] is a Science/Education/Engineering based network, which was
started in July 1991 for the sole purpose of providing high quality
advanced educational topic message exchange for personal computer
using commond QWK mail packets.
(See below for QWK packet information and mail programs)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
!! There are NO connect fees for using SFNET !!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Central Hub
Science Factor BBS - Bellvue, WA (Seattle)
Regional Hub Locations:
Panasia BBS - California - Central Western Regional
The Event Horizon - Phoenix, AZ - Southwestern Regional
Universe City - Sydney Austria - Austrian Regional
---------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
==================== REQUIREMENTS ======================
-Just a few-
1) Upload the application form to me (SF BBS) or your
desired regional hub (see hub.lst) and await
verification of access, this usually occurs within
1 day if done directly to SF BBS.
2) Carry the SFNET conference and monitor it periodically
if you are a node (announcments and changes).
3) Include the word [SFNET] in your tag line.
** 4) ** SEPARATE ** [SFNET] from other networks in your
conference/message base structure if you carry other
network systems.
(ie: don't mix them alphabetically)
==========================================================
----------------
HUB REQUIRMENTS:
----------------
The only extra requirements with being a hub is that:
1) You must carry the SFADMIN conference.
2) You should send your NODE applications to SF BBS
via the SFADMIN conference.
3) You must be verified directly with SF BBS (central
HUB) to be a HUB system.
===========================================================
---------------
CONTENT REQUEST
---------------
1) HELP keep improper use of the system to a minimum. I'm
pleased to report that all has been going well with this
aspect of [SFNET] but I'd like to have it remain that way.
All I ask is that you, as a sysop, please frown upon users
that would misuse the system and reduce the quality of the
message base.
PROFANITY: Not Necessary, just use big words instead ;-)
==========================================================
------------------------------------
OTHER NETWORK CONNECTIONS into SFNET:
------------------------------------
In the event that other systems want to participate in SFNET
this should be verified though the respective HUB system to
SF BBS. Access can be given via the hub without requiring
sub node registrations in that system. (ex: Another net
wants to share a conference) The HUB system sponsoring the
internetwork connection will be responsible for monitoring
it's content.
---------------------------
NET SOFTWARE (QWK PACKETS):
---------------------------
I have available the following software (for PCBoard systems)
QNET - For sending and recieving messages (nodes/hubs).
QMAIL - For Hub use (PCBOARD).
TNET - For sending and recieving messages (WILDCAT!).
TOMCAT- For Hub Use (WILDCAT!).
ALSO any QWK package that you are happy with is fine, there
are others out there as well. Science Factor recommends QNET
& QMAIL from Sparkware for PCBoard and TOMCAT and TNET for
Wildcat! systems.
----------------------------------------
SFNET CONFERENCE: [** ALL MUST CARRY **]
----------------------------------------
This is the global network conference and should be carried by
all participating nodes so you can follow any additions and changes
to conferences and network issues that might come to light.
---------------
SOURCE SYSTEMS:
---------------
Definition: A source system is one that is considered the ORIGIN
of a particular conference and is responsible for it's content
and message traffic, The SYSOP is usually responsible for
Sourced Conferences. These must be cleared with SF BBS.
I am constantly looking for good SOURCE systems that may have
a currently operating conference that would fit into this system.
You will remain the source system for the conference and will be
the OFFICAL SOURCE of the conference.
----------------
CONFERENCE HOST
----------------
Definition: A user in a particular Node or Hub system may want
to Host or monitor a conference to answer questions and post
information that might be of interest to other users. These
must be cleared with SF BBS.
