Welcome to InfiNet, or the International Freedom of Information Network.
Enclosed you will find all necessary configuration files for echoing this net
QWK-style.
All standard InfiNet rules apply, and the application (INFI-QWK.APP) still
needs to be completed and approved. Please familiarize yourself with the
contents of the "INFINPOL.TXT" and "INFINSET.TXT" files (in those areas that
do not apply solely to non-QWK transfers), as these documents form the basis
for this network. Once your application has been received and approved by
the Network Administrator, ALL conferences will be available for transfers.
Only Sysops and Test will be available until that time.
It is recommended that any system that is new to QWK mail transfers should
consider adding only 10-15 conferences at a time, to verify that there are no
configuration errors. Duplicate checking will be done by the HUB system, and
crossed conferences will NOT be tolerated, as this causes problems for ALL
systems in the network. As InfiNet is primarily FTS (Fido-standard), it is
vital that no QWK system create a cross/dupe problem, as it makes it much
more difficult to track these types of problems without the routing info
that is contained in FTS-standard messages.
If you need an ASCII configuration file, please use the one provided, editing
the necessary information for your system. The file name is BOATYARD.CFG and
should not be changed unless your software documentation indicate that it is
required. If your BBS software or QWK Door has the capability to import the
CONTROL.DAT file, that is also included.
If you have any questions or need any assistance on QWK networking:
1) Consult your documentation for the BBS/Door you are using, for any
specific requirements.
2) Verify that your BBS software is capable of both importing and creating
NET STATUS QWK Packets. The software at the QWK Hub will NOT import a
non-Net Status QWK packet!!
