Thank you for considering SON-net as an addition to your bbs.
We support both the QWK/REP and FIDO message standard for message flow.
QWK/REP: The originating hub is The Seed Sowers BBS located in
Toronto, Ontario. (416) 498-5259/5962. Connections to SON-net can
be made through the Rosemail door for any hubs or nodes wishing
to connect with the network.
FIDO: We also support the FIDO message standard. BBS's may transfer
Fido type of mail in SON-net the following ways:
- 1). If you are a member of IMEX then you can receive your feed
through the IMEX network. SON-net is affiliated with IMEX
and can feed nodes from any recognized IMEX hub in North
America. The only condition is that you join and become
a valid member of the IMEX network. IMEX requires a minimal
charge ($1) monthly from all nodes (which in many cases would
be much cheaper than long distance charges). Call the Seed
Sowers BBS to download a IMEX application.
- 2). If you don't wish to join IMEX but would like to still echo
using the Fido message standard, you may use a program called
FidoQ. This program takes QWK/REP files and converts to the
Fido message standard. You would have to receive your feed
from a recognized SON-net QWK/REP bbs hub. FidoQ may be
downloaded from the SON-net COMMENTS conference on the
Seed Sowers BBS. The only charge would be the registration
fee to the author of the the FidoQ program.
- 3). Directly echo the fido messages with (currently) the Seed
Sowers BBS as the hub. This would involve calling a hub
(currently Seed Sowers) and you would use Front door on
node 2 (498-5962) to send/receive mail. You would receive
your nodelist from the Seed Sowers BBS.
Please read the file SON-net.pol (network policies) next.
Thank You
