===================================

U.S. ROBOTICS SYSOP SUPPORT PROGRAM

General:

This section describes the rules of the U.S. Robotics
SYSOP Program.  U.S. Robotics reserves the right to modify or change these
rules at any time.

Scope:

The U.S. Robotics SYSOP Program permits QUALIFIED SYSOPs to purchase current
U.S. Robotics products at a reduced price.  The purpose of this program is to
continue the close relationship established many years ago between
U.S. Robotics and the Sysop community. Participants should recognize that our
ability to continue the program is dependent upon the strong position
U.S. Robotics enjoys in the reseller channel, with the distributors and
dealers, VARs, etc. that continue to buy and resell our products to home and
business users around the world.  It is our intent to maintain the integrity
of our channel relationships by closely scrutinizing each SYSOP sale to
ensure that we only sell products to qualified SYSOPs.



Qualifications:

1.  The SYSOP states that he/she is NOT in the business of
reselling computer products and/or related peripherals, including modems.
Qualified resellers may take advantage of other programs offered by
U.S. Robotics by calling [phone] and asking for the dealer sales
representative for your area.

2.  The SYSOP has been operating the bulletin board system
for at least six (6) months and that this activity can be verified by dialing
into the bulletin board system.  Typically user logs, activity logs, and local
message bases are a good source for verifying activity.

*** The exception to this rule is as follows:

If you are a registered owner of any of the following software packages
US Robotics automatically waives the 6 month verification portion of the
qualifications.  US Robotics is proud to have entered into this agreement
with:

3.  The SYSOP understands that the number of modems that may be obtained
under this program is limited to the number of working, VERIFIABLE data
lines.  Data lines MUST be dedicated for modem use only and MUST be available
24 hours a day for modem access.  Modems purchased under this program MUST be
used on one of the stated lines.  Furthermore, the SYSOP understands that the
number of serial cards that may be obtained is one for each 2 modems ordered
under the SYSOP Program. Participants in the Sysop Program beginning 1/1/92
may purchase the Dual Async Card based on these rules as well.

4.  The SYSOP agrees to post an appropriate logon notice, visible to users
of the bulletin board, which states that said bulletin board uses and
supports U.S. Robotics brand products.

5.  The SYSOP agrees that he/she intends to operate the bulletin board, for
which these products are purchased, for at least six (6) months post
purchase.  The U.S. Robotics logon must remain in effect for six (6) months
to allow verification that the bulletin board is in place and that the
U.S. Robotics promotional message is being displayed.

6.  The SYSOP agrees that, in order to avoid conflict with the U.S. Robotics
reseller channel, modems purchased under this program cannot be re-sold
without the expressed written consent of U.S. Robotics.  Violation of this
policy will result in the SYSOP's being ineligible for future participation
in the U.S. Robotics SYSOP program.  In addition, any warranties on modems
re-sold without U.S. Robotics authorization will be null and void.

7.  The SYSOP understands that initialization of the verification process may
take from one (1) to fifteen (15) days depending on the number of orders being
processed by the SYSOP Support Department, and difficulty in verifying your
bulletin board.  Shipment of product will take from two (2) to six (6) weeks
pending availability of the particular product ordered.  U.S. Robotics will
ship product(s) to QUALIFIED SYSOPs as soon as possible after:

  A.   The SYSOP completes the order form and questionnaire found on the
       U.S. Robotics BBS via the SYSOP command at the main menu.  These must
       be filled-out on-line as no mail-in orders will be accepted.

Prepaid orders will NOT be processed until payment has been received by
U.S. Robotics.  After placing an order on the board, a SYSOP wishing to
prepay his/her order should send a money order or cashier's check for
U.S. funds to:

U.S. Robotics
SYSOP Support Program
8100 McCormick Blvd.
Skokie, IL 60076

It is imperative that the SYSOP name, voice phone number and BBS phone number
be indicated for identification purposes.  A personal or company check is
acceptable, but shipping will be delayed for ten (10) working days to ensure
that the check clears our bank.
NO CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS WILL BE DEPOSITED BY U.S. ROBOTICS
UNTIL THE SYSOP's BBS HAS BEEN VERIFIED.

  B.   The SYSOP understands that once an order is placed, it cannot be
       changed.  If you are uncertain as to the product you want to purchase,
       you may consult the Information & Text Files file area of this bulletin
       board for product information.  Or, you may call the U.S. Robotics
       Technical Support Department at [phone] or call our
       Fax on Demand system at 800-762-6163  or  708-982-9061.

  C.   Your board will be verified by a U.S. Robotics Online Support Analyst.
       We MUST be able to connect with your bulletin board to verify board
       status.  In the event that we are uncertain of your board status, you
       will be notified by a U.S. Robotics representative.  We will advise
       you as best we can as to what you need to provide in order to have your
       board verified (appropriate logon, copy of phone bill, soft-ware
       registration, etc.).  In no case will we verify a board until we are
       certain that it meets the requirements of the program.

  D.   U.S. Robotics will not accept voice phone-in orders.

  E.   U. S. Robotics reserves the right to modify, change or cancel this
       program at any time.

  F.   If you have any questions regarding this program, please call
       [phone] for clarification.



*** THANK YOU ***


ADDENDUM

We realize that all Bulletin Boards are not the same and we are not always
able to ascertain their validity during our normal verification process.
In order not to exclude those Bulletin Boards from our program, we may
request additional information such as copies of telephone bills, proof of
software purchase and/or registration and network and association membership.
This information will only be requested by U.S. Robotics in rare cases and
can not be used solely as a means of qualification.

Before placing an order, please take steps to ensure the process goes as
easily as possible.

1. Create a login for U.S. Robotics

2. Ensure no questionnaires or voting is necessary

3. If your logon requires information other than password be sure to include
   this information on the order.

4. Once this is established logon under the U.S. Robotics ID and look for
   verifiable proof of six months activity.  If you can't find it, odds are
   we won't be able to either.

 ** US Robotics CAN NOT download special software to verify  **
 ** your BBS.  We support the basic communication platforms. **

 U.S. Robotics is determined to provide a SYSOP Program which is fair and
 equitable to everyone.  Any requests made of SYSOPs in order to verify
 Bulletin Boards are made in order to ensure that the program serves the
 entire SYSOP community and protect the USR distribution channel as well.

 We will make every effort to process each and every order in a professional
 and courteous manner.  Please help us to provide the type of service you want
 and deserve by filling-out the order form as completely and accurately as
 possible and responding to our requests for additional information in a
 prompt manner.
