WHY YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.
-----------------------------------------------
Mission Impossible Can Be Reached on:
0602-654329 - Node 2 - 1200-9600 Courier HST - FREE ACCESS!
0602-654680 - Node 3 - 1200-9600 Courier HST - FREE ACCESS!

????-?????? - Node 1 - 1200-19200 Courier DS - SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So what DOES make Mission Impossible such a great board? Well, for
one thing, it's the sheer size of the board. Three nodes online, 1
GIGABYTE of disk space and growing all the time....
Where many boards have 1000 or so files to download, Mission
Impossible currently has around 14,000 - with 1000 new ones being
added every *month*. Imagine: 25 to 30 new files every DAY! Our
target is 25,000 files and we have the space and the resource to
meet that target.
Where many boards have 300 or so users, Mission Impossible has
well over 3300 at the time of writing - and around 250 new users
join every month. Many of them are computer professionals who are
willing and able to answer your software and hardware queries.
Where many boards have a few new messages each time you call,
Mission Impossible has 6500 new messages every *4 weeks*. Many are
serious, many are frivolous, but all are entertaining.
Where many boards have just one line, Mission Impossible has four -
2 feature Courier HST modems, 1 features the 14,400 bps Courier Dual
Standard and 1 features a Compucom 9600 bps Speedmodem. Four high
speed lines to connect you to Mission Impossible!
If you're looking for a particular file, chances are the board
will have it. If not, new files are downloaded from the USA every
week and Subscribers are able to make requests for special files
that they would like "importing" from the USA.
If you're looking for fun, Mission Impossible has that in plenty
too - check out the Oddballs message conference and see. Or check
out one of the 30 or so Live Games that are always available. Or
take the Mission Impossible "Official Aptitude Test", or even
check out if we should enrol you in "BBS Anonymous"!
If you're an old-hand at comms or if you're just getting started,
Mission Impossible is the board for you. The software used is
Wildcat: renowned for its simplicity of use as well as its power
and flexibility. And everyone is warmly welcomed, whether they
call dozens of boards each week or whether Mission Impossible is
the very first board they have ever called!
Remember, three nodes of Mission Impossible are entirely free!
They offer uses access to almost all of the facilites that we
provide and there are no fees for access to nodes 2,3 and 4 at all.
Mission Impossible is so popular that it can be hard to connect -
especially during peak times. But subscribers get their own
uncrowded node - and the promise of further subscriber-only nodes
if the first one gets too busy. Subscribers also enjoy NO file
ratios: there is absolutely no need to upload in order to download
(although uploads earn yet more benefits and privileges). And
subscribers get one hour of online time a day, 1 megabyte of
downloads a day and, of course, access to those "hot" files direct
from the States.
Membership is just £25 for a full year. 50p a week or
thereabouts. For access to so much hardware and software
assistance and for access to so many Public Domain and Shareware
files, we think it's a bargain.
To join, simply send your cheque, postal order or even cash, to
Keith Barnes, Mission Impossible BBS at the address below.

------------------------------------------------
Yes, I would like to take advantage of the following benefits of
membership:
* Access to all nodes, including node 1 - much
easier to get a connect!
* No file ratios at all - no need to upload at
all if you choose not to.
* 1 hour of system time a day.

* 15 file downloads a day.
* All for 50p a week!
Please enrol me for 1 year's subscription to the board at a cost of
£25 Sterling. I understand that, while you will do all possible to
ensure the continuity of service of the BBS, you cannot guarantee this
and that should the board close, there will be no entitlement to a
refund of unused subs.
