-- AMERICA's RURAL COMMUNITY BBS MESSAGE NETWORK --
If you are the SysOp of a BBS system, I would like to invite YOU
to join UsNetMail. America's Finest 'easy-going' BBS callers
message network.
NO One is ever refused access to UsNetMail, unlike other networks.
If your BBS is new, or in a rural community, that is just fine
with us. Never feel that you will not be 'good-enough' to get
both you and your users into the network. Its almost all 100%
automated.
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MESSAGE PRIVACY:
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PURSUANT TO THE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS PRIVACY ACT OF 1986, 18 │
│ USC 2510 et. seq., NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THERE ARE NO │
│ FACILITIES PROVIDED BY THIS SYSTEM FOR SENDING OR RECEIVING │
│ PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. ALL MESSAGES │
│ SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE READILY ACCESSIBLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. │
│ │
│ Do NOT use this system for any communication for which the sender │
│ intends only the sender and the intended recepient or recipients │
│ to read. │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
(UsNetMail 1991)
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
Netmail, is a 'commitment' that only YOU can decide. YOU pay
nothing to UsNetMail for the messages you receive, and nothing
for the messages you and your users put into the network in the
various conferences.
As the SysOp, YOU must decide IF you can afford to take on
netmail. The costs for netmail are incurred by Long-Distance
charges on your phone bill. It requires a commitment on your
part to anticipate and be prepared for an average monthly
expense of $15.00 to $30.00 more on your phone bill per month.
An average mail run takes only 2-5 minutes per night. This
means that it will cost about 22cents to 55cents per night
to send and get mail. If you do not think that YOU can afford
this, then RIGHT NOW you should NOT consider having any kind
of netmail available for your BBS callers at this time!
YOU should also have a High-Speed Modem. 2400 baud may cost
you more than you can logically affort in Long-Distance. The
only way 2400 baud is acceptable is if you are a PCPursuit
customer where you get 30-hours of modem calls for $30.00
per month.
UsNetMail DOES sell an internal high-speed modem which xfers
approximately 1700cps which is a V-Series 14,400 baud carrier
modem and is only $250.00. It will connect at High-Speed to
any V-Series modem, and any US Robotics Dual/Standard or 16.8
modem. An American made 5-year warranty Brand Name modem.
=============== Who does UsNetMail want Most? =============
UsNetMail would like to become America's Rural BBS Network.
Not to offend those who are in larger cities, we are in
Tampa, Florida, and that is not so Rural <G>, but I grew up
in a Rural Farming Community, and I feel that these areas would
be best served by UsNetMail.
UsNetMail has alway had pride in its membership, and their users,
and moreover, pride of having a relaxed 'laid-back' atmosphere.
SysOps, and other callers are not expected to 'war-lord' the
conferences, and when an off-topic message appears in a
conference, JUST LET IT SLIDE. It causes nothing but problems
when other callers try to 'jump' on those who may have just
made a small mistake in posting a message.
=============== What can UsNetMail Offer You? ===============
UsNetMail can offer to you and your BBS callers, a special
and relaxed atmosphere where you can become a part of a
group of other BBS callers who rely on UsNetMail for the
help, education, pleasures, and sharing that communicating with
people from all walks of life can bring.
Its not all smiles :-) but more GOOD than ugly. No everyone
gets up on the 'right' side of the bed each day, and we must
understand this when we are using such a vast network.
====== IS UsNetMail DIFFERENT FROM OTHER NETWORKS? ===========
-YES-
Besides the 'family' atmosphere of the users, we do a few things
that the other networks just dont.
UsNetMail has the most informative and powerful NetWork Reporting
system....BAR NONE....of any Network in the World.
Monthly you will receive an ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT of all conferences
and their traffic levels.
PERIODIC CONFERENCE IDENTIFICATION-- UsNetMail National HUB system
automatically generates (periodically) a conference ID message
which has the name of the conference, and its basic description.
This helps YOU to be sure conferences are configured properly, and
helps your callers feel more at home with reference to the
conference topic and its use.
================ WHAT DO I DO TO JOIN UsNetMail? ===============
That part is VERY easy.
FIRST, you must join the UsNetMail Network, by calling the
UsNetMail WORLD HUB at (USA) 904-567-0596. This is a High-Speed
V-Series modem, regardless of your connect speed, it should only
take you about 4-minutes to complete member questionaire.
THEN, download according to your BBS system type the needed mail
tosser files.
DECIDE where you will want to call to exchange your mail.
In this packet are files with the extension of .HUB Find a HUB
in a location that is best for you.
NOTIFY the HUB you want to call for mail, (Follow the HUBs
instructions.) You may additionally be assigned a specific time
to make your mail-runs.
The HUB sysop will then wait for a notification message in the
UsAdmin Conference that you have joined the network.
(This could take up to a few days)
================= WHAT PROGRAMS DO YOU NEED? =================
On your side you will need: Tnet20.zip for Wildcat Pre V3.0
Tnet30.zip for Wildcat v3.0+
Qnetv30.zip for Pcboard systems
The above are used to insert and extract messages in/out of
your BBS system's message bases.
You must also have some way to call and exchange mail. Your
current modem communications program (Telemate, Qmodem, etc) and
an appropriate script. OR use ROBOCOMM v4.2 which is the
program 'of choice' to carry out the exchanging of mail packets.
I think that both YOU and your callers will enjoy UsNetMail.
