Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to read this DIDnet Information Kit.
DRAGnet is committed to providing professional-caliber services and
fulfilling a mission focused on quality disability information. After
three years and many, many efforts to work through existing networks, we
started our own network so we remain accountable to the people who
benefit from it. In short, the "WHY" is because we believe we can
deliver a better value, a stronger, more useful product if we own the
store rather than simply make deliveries for someone else.
We feel cyberspace itself is undergoing an evolution from a few all-
purpose network providers to an environment of many "niche" or meta-
networks and echomail conference providers. At the same time, the
attitude that BBS technology is little more than an interesting "hobby"
which should staunchly avoid anything that benefits the commercial
sector seems to us a very short-sighted one. It is further complicated
by the mistaken idea that simply because a network relies upon
volunteers that there can be no accountability for the network's
technical performance. Such ideas inhibits the flow of information to
those who need it.
Again, please read through the enclosed materials carefully. We
believe you will see the difference in quality even in these materials.
If you have questions, comments or suggestions -- please feel free to
call, write or netmail us.
Sincerely,
- gill -
