WHAT IS SEEKNET?
SeekNet is a NEW Echo mail Network That was Created because I felt
there was a need for a Professionally run, User/Sysop Friendly, Mail System
without all the cumbersome Rules and Application procedures. We don't feel
that it's to much to ask for an Easy Access, Free mail Net with active
Conferences. I found Precious few while "Seeking" a Net to compliment
those I already had on my BBS. One had three conferences, another had
thirty, but no activity in any of them, and still another had one phone
line with and a generic Modem which took three tries to connect to. This
is not to trash these Nets, it's simply to say that I longed for something
more. I wanted Quality, Friendliness, and Professionalism. But I didn't
want the same old Nets that every other BBS on the Block had. Thus, SeekNet
was formed!
This Network can now handle mail in either .qwk or Fido type
mail packets. If you are using the .qwk format, any mail Tosser like Tnet
or Qnet will be able to Import mail into your message area. We're hoping
for wide participation. We have over 36 conferences and will be adding
more as the need arises.
The File NETCONF.LST Contains descriptions of Conferences. The File
SEEKERS.CFG is The configuration setup we use at The Seeker's Place,
complete with Our conference numbers. You can use any text editor to add
your conference numbers and tagline, and use this .cfg file for your
setup. Make sure that you leave the SeekNet portion of the tagline intact!
Change the Upload/Download path to reflect your comm. program, and you are
all set. The file SN_AREAS.CFG is Information needed if you are echoing
with Fido type mail packets. Also Included are SEEKNET.ANS and SEEKNET.ASC
which are some nice screens to Introduce your callers to the Network.
You can customize them with your own Info and NODE/HUB ID: Number. In
addition SEEKNODE.ANS is a Ansi "Node List" Bulletin for WildCat 3.x, and
SEEKNODE.LST is a ASCII Node List which can be used as a bulletin.
Making mail runs to The Seeker's place should be Quick and Easy.
All modems are High speed and with the "!" Option Placed before your
Network Name, you can go Directly to the Mail door without ever seeing The
BBS. This is Great for auto mail runs. saves Time, and Time is Money.
There is also Information, as well as script files available for sysops new
to Echo mail to help them get setup with Seeknet.
GUIDELINES!
Any Network worth It's salt has Rules and we are no exception. We
are trying to keep the rules to Simple Common Sense ones. We want the Net
to be Informational and fun, but not Burdensome.
Conferences are Topic Specific, but we will allow for deviation.
For example; If someone is Talking Lan systems, in a Lan conference, and a
user reponds that he has such a system and will sell it for x amount of
Dollars. This is not an infraction of the rules (Since it "is" Topic
specific). He will NOT have to go to The "For sale" conference and post.
This does not however mean that dealers can fill the conference with sales
pitches or ads.
Since This Network is for all and accessible by all, we do require
that the language be kept in a "PG" rated mode.
All Net sysops are "REQUIRED" to carry the Net administration
conference. It is for Net sysops Chat, exchange of ideas, and/or questions,
suggestions for the Net. This conference "MUST" be "PRIVATE" and accessible
only by you and your co-Sysop/s. Please read "ALL" Mail in the Net
administrative conference since it is where notices of changes, additions,
Policy or suggestions will be posted. General Sysop chat pertaining to
anything other than the Net should be posted in the Sysops conference.
There will be no Verbal assults on Individuals or Flaming allowed on
the net.
We Don't require, but we do request that nodes carry at least 7
SeekNet conferences.
Aliases or handles are "NOT" Permitted on the Network (Except in a
case where an Alias conference has been added to the Net).
No illegal acts of "ANY" kind will be permitted on The Net.
Any Dispute that may arise between nodes or hubs will NOT be handled
in public conferences but will be resolved by the two disputing parties
and The SeekNet administrator, whose decisions are Final!
Any Net Sysop knowing of anyone who wants to host a conference and
is qualified should contact the SeekNet administrator.
-------------------------------------------------
This is no fly by Night Net. We plan on being around for a "LONG"
Time. Join the SeekNet Family and grow with us. All Network BBSs will be
given a Unique Node ID Number consisting of SNxxx, "x" being Numbers.
SeekNet Hubs will have numbers in the form of SNHxxx. This will assist
us in keeping Track of, and identifying all BBSs in The Net.
