- HOW TO BECOME PART OF THE SBI LIST:
- -----------------------------------
-
- There is no fee required to become a part of this list. The ONLY
- requirements are:
-
- 1. The BBS should be privately owned (no Freenets, and no University BBS's).
- BBSs that are privately owned, but receive free Internet access
- through a government site will be considered on a case-by-case
- basis. Government-run BBSs will also be considered on a
- case-by-case basis.
-
- 2. The BBS must be accessible on the Internet via TELNET, RLOGIN, WEB,
- and/or Special Client. This means you must be able to actually LOGIN
- to the BBS through the Internet.
-
- 3. It must BE a "BBS" of some kind - sites that provide internet
- services, must also have a variety of local services. This is not a
- listing of mere "internet providers".
-
- 4. The BBS must be in operation "24 hours" a day, excluding maintenance
- and mail-run times, and Internet accessibility must be active during
- normal BBS operating time. (For example, sites that connect to the
- Internet for only couple of hours a day are NOT on this list.)
-
- 5. The BBS must accept new users. What's the point in advertising a
- "closed" system that won't let anyone login? If your BBS does not
- describe exactly how to login as a new user, then you must include
- that information in your listing.
-
- We also request that any additions or changes to this list be submitted
- by a sysop of the system (we don't take user-contributions of list
- information) - this is to protect the integrity of the list, and the
- systems on the list. Please also be sure to supply a valid internet
- address.
-
- THE LIST AUTHOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY SUBMISSION. So far,
- this hasn't happened...but you never know. I wouldn't include a BBS
- dedicated to kiddie porn, for example.
-
- NOTE: I WILL verify additions to this list via telnet! I do not
- require or request a "guest" account - I am merely confirming that the
- telnet address is "alive" and eventually gets me to some kind of login
- prompt.
-
- NOTE: Only one BBS listing per IP address! If you run several "BBS's"
- from the same IP address, you can mention them in the 10 line
- description.
-
- SUBMITTING NEW/UPDATED SYSTEM INFORMATION
- -----------------------------------------
- There are now (2) ways to submit new/updated system information:
-
- 1 - Access the SBI WEB page (http://dkeep.com/sbi.htm), and fill out the
- interactive WEB input form. (THIS IS THE PREFERRED METHOD)
