Subj: CBM-128 Needs Your Help! Conf: (68) CommodoreC
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We need YOUR help to keep the CBM-128 echo alive and make it grow!
The first thing we need to do, is to get CBM-128 onto more FidoNet
nodes. To help with this, I've written the following message, which I'd
like you to capture, fill in the blanks (SysOp's name/Your Name), and
send to the SysOp(s) of the FidoNet node(s) in your locality that do not
already carry CBM-128.
You may also wish to tell the SysOp(s) which local node(s), if any,
already carry CBM-128 so that they can contact them about echo feed,
cost-sharing, etc..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear <SysOp's Name>,
As a user of your bbs and a Commodore C=128 computer user, I would like
to ask you to PLEASE pick up the CBM-128 echo.
Echo Tag: CBM-128
CBM-128 is a support echo where C=128 users can share information about
the C=128 computer, its software, its peripherals, programming it, news
and reviews, etc..
The CBM-128 echo is important, both to me and your other C=128 users,
because it is one of the few avenues of support for the C=128 that is
growing at a time when industry support is declining.
The moderator has assured us that once the distribution and traffic
reach the required levels we will apply for FidoNet Backbone
distribution. However, CBM-128 does not currently meet Backbone
requirements and so is being distributed on a private/direct basis.
The current distribution sites include:
1:207/101 - Diamond Bar BBS - Jonathan Hart, SysOp
Any listed node may request feed and poll here.
USR 14.4 DS - DS/HST 4.8k-14.4k bps
- V.32bis 4.8k-14.4k bps
- V.32 2400-9600 bps
- V.42 & V.42bis
1:209/209 - 'dBest' Western Star 2 - Dave James, SysOp
ONLY regional hubs in the area serviced by
209/209 may request feed from it.
USR 16.8 DS - DS/HST 4.8k-16.8k bps
- V.32bis 4.8k-14.4k bps
- V.32 2400-9600 bps
- V.42 & V.42bis
1:154/321 - The Edit Suite BBS - Jack Becker, SysOp
Any listed node may request feed and poll here.
Brand ??? - V.32 2400-9600 bps
- V.42 & V.42bis
Now is the time to act! You can help us get CBM-128 on the FidoNet
Backbone sooner by carrying it on your system. Any and all help you may
wish to offer to expand distribution of the CBM-128 echo in the net
and/or region will be greatly appreciated.
You may wish to consider a private cost-sharing plan in which one node
could import/export the echo, feed the other nodes in the net/region,
and pass the hat to help out the node doing the import/export. This
would increase distribution while minimizing cost for individual sysops.
This will help us get CBM-128 on the Backbone that much sooner.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
<Your Name>
