NETWORK ACCESS is useful *only* to those systems using handles/aliases and
running Tabby or another network application.
NETWORK ACCESS works in conjunction with Handler, by Craig Struble, or
another utility which handles aliases for networking purposes.
NETWORK ACCESS asks the caller to provide their real first and last names
in order to gain access to networked message areas. If the user chooses
not to provide these, nothing happens. If the user does provide them, they
are automatically entered into the Handler "Aliases" file and a restriction
flag is changed.
NETWORK ACCESS automatically capitalizes the caller's entry to ensure
quality across the network.
