           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.

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 verification of an order will
    take from two (2) to five (5) weeks 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 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 identi-
    fication 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]
    in the U.S. or [phone] in Canada.
    Outside the U.S and Canada, call [phone].

    C.   Your board will be verified by a the U.S.
    Robotics SYSOP Administrator.  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 either by U.S. Robotics via your board
    or by mail or voice.  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 require-
    ments of the program.

    D.   U.S. Robotics will not accept 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.  In Canada,
    call [phone].  Outside the U.S. and Canada, call
    [phone].

                    *** 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 6 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.
