- "The Ultimate Virus Info Net"
-
-
-
- VirNet was started in February 1991 by Mikael Larsson, and is a network of
- Bulletin Board Systems (BBS).
-
- VirNet is an newstarted network, and it maybe will take some time before
- the network has grown-up. But for the moment VirNet is expanding into 1
- more region, Belgium. But wants to expand into MORE regions!
-
- This network is specialized on distributing information about viruses,
- worms, trojans etc etc. VirNet is the FIRST and probably ONLY network
- specialized on Virus/Antivirus, therefore VirNet is unique.
-
- In VirNet there are both message- and file-echos. File-Echos are distributed
- from Sweden and contains new updates of program, such as the McAfee Associates
- program ViruScan, Clean-Up, Vshield, Vcopy, Fshield, NetScan and Sentry.
- There will also be other programs sent by this file-echo. Files that is
- new and intresting.
-
- There is ONE File-Echo that *EVERY* member of VirNet must join, this echo
- is the filedistributing echo for the nodelist, echolists, policy etc etc..
-
- About message echos, for the moment is there about 5-7 Swedish echos and
- 3 English (International) echos. Every NET in VirNet MUST have an own
- net-echo. Also every region MUST have an own region-echo for sysops only.
-
- VirNet is a free network that allows private nodes, but VirNet does NOT
- allow points. Everyone with a mailer program is welcome to join us, but
- they should be able to pickup mail every night.
-
- VirNet messages and files should be packed with Phil Katz' PkZip, because
- this is our standard packing program.
-
- Region number is based on the country code to the country the region is
- located in; Example Sweden - Region 46, UK - Region 44
- But for countrys with just ONE digit in the countrycode (as USA) we will
- reverse the countrycode and put a Zero at the end; Example USA - Region 10
-
- Netnumbers are based on the region number, the first net in Sweden is
- called 9:461, second 9:462.. Therefore there could only be 9 nets in
- echo region.
