What Is CyberNet?
-----------------
CyberNet is a support network of Bulletin Board Systems using
FidoNet-compatible mailers to exchange messages and files relating to
software products from Serious Cybernetics. The host system for Cybernet is
The Phoenix StarFighter BBS (our primary support site), located in Lula
Georgia USA, FidoNet/CyberNet address 1:3616/20.
Who Can Belong To CyberNet?
---------------------------
Anyone capable of using a FidoNet-compatible mailer who has an interest in
any software distributed by Serious Cybernetics will generally be welcome
within this network. Access to CyberNet is granted by the host system at
1:3616/20. Your actual link to CyberNet may be from another CyberNet node,
this will be determined by your capabilities and locations of other nodes in
your vicinity, under control of the host system. Any and all requests for
access to CyberNet should be forwarded via FidoNet Netmail to 1:3616/20,
addressed to either Scott Davis or Danny Sosebee.
CyberNet Network Description - Echo Areas
-----------------------------------------
Currently there are two echomail areas within the CyberNet network. It is
required that you carry both of these echomail areas to be a member of
CyberNet. The specifications and requirements for setup of these echos are
as follows :
Area Tag : CYBER
Type : Echomail
Access : Public
Restrictions : Real Names Only - No Aliases Allowed
Echo Source : FidoNet/CyberNet 1:3616/20
Archive Type : ZIP (unless otherwise requested)
Extraction : PKZIP v2.04g
Moderator : Scott Davis
Description : This echo is for primary support discussion of any
software release by Serious Cybernetics. It should be
made available to the public
Area Tag : CYBER_SYSOP
Type : Echomail
Access : Sysops Only
Restrictions : Real Names Only - No Aliases Allowed
Echo Source : FidoNet/CyberNet 1:3616/20
Archive Type : ZIP (unless otherwise requested)
Extraction : PKZIP v2.04g
Moderator : Danny Sosebee
Description : This echo is restricted to sysops within the CyberNet
structure, and is primarily for administrative messages
relating to CyberNet itself. Any difficulties with
links, questions regarding membership, or other such
problems should be posted here.
If you are a member of CyberNet, it is REQUIRED that you carry these
echomail areas. CYBER should be made available to the public. In the case
of a conflict, the moderators may request that the echo be denied to problem
users. The CYBER echo is strictly for the support of release versions of
software by Serious Cybernetics. It is most emphatically NOT a place to
discuss ALPHA or BETA versions of any software. Idle chatter should be
limited to a minimum, as should excessive quoting of reply text. Please
remember that some sysops are paying long distance phone bills to receive
this echo. Be courteous. The CYBER_SYSOP echo is strictly for use by the
sysops within CyberNet to discuss any problems associated with network links
and other administrative functions. Software discussions should not be
posted here.
Please note that CyberNet is a special interest support group, and all
CyberNet links are asked to respect this and prevent misuse of it on your
systems.
Serious Cybernetics Bug Reports
-------------------------------
Serious Cybernetics will make every attempt to answer questions and provide
products which are as bug-free as we can make them. However, please note
that we are humans and make mistakes like everyone else. If you have
trouble with some of our software, feel free to let us know the difficulty
as soon as possible. Detailed information on software problems should be
provided whenever possible. The more information, the better and quicker we
can respond.
When posting a bug report in the CYBER echo, please be sure to provide the
following information :
- Programme/Library Name and Version Number.
- Any error codes produced by the programme/library.
- Unusual hardware and/or software configuration you are using.
- A detailed explination of the exact error and it's results, with
examples if possible. This one is VERY important.
All bug reports should be addressed to Scott Davis. Scott is the CEO of
Serious Cybernetics and the author of our software. Questions regarding
CyberNet itself, it's links, and it's base functioning should be posted to
Danny Sosebee using the CYBER_SYSOP echo.
CyberNet Network Description - File Areas
-----------------------------------------
There are 7 file areas within the CyberNet network. You may choose not to
take any of these areas. If you do take any CyberNet file areas, you must
take CYBEROPS, as it is the relay for all network administrative files. The
other file areas are totally optional. All files injected into these areas
will come from our primary support site only, they should not be entered
from other CyberNet links. At a later date, other file areas may be added
for related files which will allow others to contribute to. All files
injected into these areas will be via HATCH, and will require the receiver
to set up a copy of TICK or an equivalent programme to process the new
files.
The following file areas are currently available :
AreaName Description
-------- ------------------------------------------------------------
CYBERLIB Programming Libraries
CYBERWIN Windows Software
CYBERBBS BBS Support Software
CYBERDOR BBS Door Software
CYBERSND Sound Card Software
CYBERMIS Miscellaneous Files
CYBEROPS Operational Files (REQUIRED)
It should be stressed here that all CyberNet nodes who set up to take these
file echo's should set them up for RECEIVE ONLY. At the current time, files
will only be hatched into CyberNet from our host system.
