* Renegade Bulletin Board System Support Network
* The Ultimate Renegade Support network! Read on....
What is it?
-----------
Renegade Support Network (RGSNet) is an open, easy-going message
network devoted to the support of Renegade Bulletin Board Systems.
RGSNet has been in operation since September, 1993. Our current
member list exceeds 1000 nodes. Although Renegade is the most popular
software used in the network, any sysop is welcome regardless of BBS
software.

The echos themselves generate approximately 300
messages per day (total) about 2000-2500 per week.
What are the rules?
-------------------
1. You must use real names. This can be done in Renegade by toggling
the 'R'eal names flag to 'on' in all the RGSNet message areas.
Exceptions: RGS_DOORS - Handles ok, must sign with Real Name.
RGS_CHAT - Handles ok.
RGS_BRE50 - Handles ok.
RGS_FE50 - Handles ok.
ALT.BBS.RENEGADE - Handles ok.
2. You must use a front-end mailer such as FrontDoor. I suggest
using FrontDoor v2.12 Noncommercial, but other mailers such as
Portal of Power, D'Bridge, and BinkleyTerm work fine.
3. All systems MUST be 300 baud or higher. Sorry, no 110 baud here.
4. Simple!
What does it cost?
------------------
The services we provide are free, however, the costs of maintaining
the system resources to provide quality mail services and file
distributions do cost us money. Some hubs and hosts may require a
small fee to offset their cost of calling long distance, others do
not. If your hub/host imposes some sort of Cost Reduction Plan,
then that would be considered your cost and donation to the network.
If your hub/host does not require a fee, or you would just like to
help further RGSNet's growth and development to help provide even
better services, please send a small contribution ($5.00 or more) to:
Scott Freeman
P. O. Box 1141
North Palm Springs, CA.
92258-1141
Your contribution will recorded, and a special "Thank You" will be
posted in the RGSNet InfoPack, released each month. You will be
listed with other "contributors" and it will be noted that you, along
with many others, helped further Renegade and Renegade Support for
EVERYONE!
How do I join?
--------------
All you need to do is contact your local RGSNet node for the latest
InfoPack and Application Kit. Freq'ing "RGSNET" from any of the
following sites will also get you the latest RGSNet InfoPack:
USA West - Scott Freeman - 1:219/800 Down Temporarily!!!
USA East - Don Ludington - 1:265/118 /0
Canada - Brent Smith - 1:245/100 /113
NZ/Australia - Wayne Knott - 3:772/390
Israel - Benji Selano - 2:403/652
Run the file APPGEN.EXE to automatically create a short text file
with vital information needed to apply. Once you have completed the
application, netmail the file created with your information to your
state host (preferably, if there is one), or the Temp Network
Coordinator at 50:57/0, or upload it to 703-494-4470, The Rebel's Yell
BBS.
If you know your state host's address, please send the application to
that address, the turn-around time is much quicker that way.
Once your application is reviewed, you will be sent a node number and
nodelist via netmail in ZIP form. Or, if you cannot be reached via
netmail, we will try our best to send it via your BBS. Please allow
7-10 days for your application to be reviewed and a new node number
assigned (we receive them almost every day and it is sometimes
difficult to keep up), please be patient.
* NOTE: You must be using a front-end mailer such as FrontDoor to
join RGSNet.
