- Access Policy
- rev. Apr. 2, 1991
- -------------------------------
-
- Currents! allows access to all callers, but offers expanded
- access to those callers who care enough to make a donation to Currents!
- Those callers generous enough to contribute to Currents! will become
- full-fledged members of the 'Currents! Contributors Club' and are
- entitled to all priviledges mentioned below for one full year.
-
- Please read the information below and make the decision as to
- which access level you feel is best for you.
-
-
- Reasons To Support
- Currents! Information Accessory
- -------------------------------
-
- . Currents is the first Macintosh-based BBS in the Dayton area
- to belong to the 8000 member FidoNet.
-
- . The message forums on Currents! broaden the scope of
- resources available to you! Due to the fact that most message
- areas are national or international, the wide range of topics
- and responses quickly enable you to solve problems or expand
- your potential.
-
- . Currents! also is a member of the K12Net International
- Education Network. This network brings together students,
- parents, and teachers from all over the world to discuss
- educational issues and share ideas for helping students
- achieve their potential.
-
- . The File Library on Currents! surpasses any BBS library in the
- Miami Valley! Currents! offers a full line of public domain
- and shareware files for the Apple Macintosh. Contact on the
- national on-line services several times a week for utilities,
- applications, INITs, graphics, etc. which are new and
- promising, as well as updating existing library files helps to
- insure "Current" listings. In addition, Currents! has
- established file libraries for education-related files for the
- Macintosh and Apple II computers.
-
- . Membership in the 'Currents! Contributors Club'.
-
- This entitles you to participate in on-line contests in which
- prizes are awarded for everything from being the 5000th caller
- to uploading the most number of files per month to having the
- funniest anecdaote per month.
-
-
- An Equation
- -----------
-
- Consider this:
-
- It takes about 12 minutes to download a 100K file at 2400
- baud. So you can download 5 100K files in an hour. An hour of
- on-line access charges to America Online (probably the cheapest of the
- nationals) costs $5.00.
-
- Keep the above equation in the back of your mind as you are
- reading this. It will come in handy when figuring what level you will
- choose.
-
-
- 2 Levels of Accessibility to Currents
- -----------------------------------------
-
- The following is a list of the 2 levels of accessibility from
- which to choose. The list includes the time allowed on Currents,
- number of calls allowed per day, and Post/call and Upload/download
- ratios each level must maintain in order to enter the File Library.
-
-
- Level Calls per Day Time per Day Post/calls Uplds/downlds
- ----- ------------- ------------ ---------- -------------
- 1 2 30 1:5 1:5
- 2 5 120 -0- -0-
-
- * Level 1 is the 'new caller' level, but has access to all message
- areas and file transfer libraries. Level 2 has access to all
- message areas & file libraries and NO ratios.
-
-
- Interpretation
- --------------
-
- Level 1 will be allowed a maximum of 30 minutes per day on
- Currents. Those with this level can call a maximum of 2 times per day.
- In order to have access to the File Library, Level 1 must post 1 message
- for each 5 times they call (1:5) and upload 1 file for each 5 they
- download (1:5).
-
- Level 2 will be allowed a maximum of 120 minutes per day and up
- to 5 calls per day. It has no Post/calls or Upload/downloads ratio
- restriction.
-
