What Is Expected of Those Calling The Net Host!
Some things that others have tried that are not expected of you. Do a
mail scan on your system daily. IF a REP packet is generated, it is to
be uploaded during that day's event. If there is no REP generated then
dialing out is really not necessary for nodes calling the host. But we
do have a minimum of "once a week" that must be maintained for nodes to
call the host system. This is a *minimum* to pick up the private forums
that do not go out on the satellite or FTP packets. If you are a hub for
Intelec then you must call daily, regardless of any REP packet existing
or not. You must call in and grab the private forums DAILY. What we've
seen some SysOps do is upload mail on (example) the 15th. Within that
upload is mail from their board dated the 10th. This is not permissable
and can run the risk of host privileges being revoked. That meant that a
mail scan was either not done on the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th or
it was scanned on the 10th but the SysOp did not run his dialout until
the 15th. Either way it's not permissible. That is longer than the land-
line method and we are not trying to take a step "backwards" with this
new technology.... Again, scan daily and if a REP is created, send it.
If Uplink/Upload Fails Event Processing
If there is a day when our event fails to send the QWK's to the uplink,
or more likely the uplink BBS experiences any of it's constant problems,
within the INTELEC.QIF zip file will be the previous days' mail in the
format of INTELEC.QWK, INTELEC.QW0, INTELEC.QW1, etc. This is for easy
automation. If you are a hub for Intelec, this is NOT an option, you are
required to call the host BBS and pick up the lost mail. Use the SAT cmd
as shows relay "stats" as well as what file name(s) for you to download.
Payment Options
Intelec has a "one-time" membership fee of $35 which is due prior to the
beginning of relays. Please see the NETRULES.IN file for details on this
For those SysOps interested in getting Intelec via FTP or via satellite,
there is a $2/month access fee so we can offset the expense of uploading
the mail to the satellite uplink & FTP server. The host BBS is reliable,
fast and you don't have to worry about losing your hub. And the fee for
doing so is less than 7 cents a day! How many other nets permit calling
the host system directly even if you are a node? Here is a breakdown of
the rates/payment schedules:
If date is between 01/01/96 - 01/31/96 - $24 to be paid through 12/31/96
If date is between 02/01/96 - 02/28/96 - $22 to be paid through 12/31/96
If date is between 03/01/96 - 03/31/96 - $20 to be paid through 12/31/96
If date is between 04/01/96 - 04/30/96 - $18 to be paid through 12/31/96
If date is between 05/01/96 - 05/31/96 - $16 to be paid through 12/31/96
If date is between 06/01/96 - 06/30/96 - $14 to be paid through 12/31/96
If date is between 07/01/96 - 07/31/96 - $12 to be paid through 12/31/96
If date is between 08/01/96 - 08/31/96 - $10 to be paid through 12/31/96
If date is between 09/01/96 - 09/30/96 - $32 to be paid through 12/31/97
If date is between 10/01/96 - 10/31/96 - $30 to be paid through 12/31/97
If date is between 11/01/96 - 11/30/96 - $28 to be paid through 12/31/97
If date is between 12/01/96 - 12/31/96 - $26 to be paid through 12/31/97
In other words, as of 09/01 of a year, the following year is required to
be paid in full as well. We've decided to do this as A) we don't want to
deal with checks less than $10 and the SysOps will only have to make out
another check in a few months anyway. And B) so that all accounts become
due at the same time so we don't have an accounting nightmare over this.
For expiring SysOps the fee's due 12/01, 30 days before the fee expires.
It costs extra money each month to make Intelec available on the Planet
Connect satellite system and the FTP servers. Systems wanting to hub for
for Intelec "outside of North America" would NOT be subject to this fee!
And $2 a month is peanuts compared to the more conventional/traditional
way of relaying e-mail via modem. Mail packets on the Satellite and FTP
will soon be password encrypted and only those authorized to access the
mail will be given this "rotating" password. Current plans are to rotate
the password monthly or to arrange for "key" files at some future date.
Make Check/MO payable to: John Young. P.O. Box 1723 Oroville CA 95965.
There's a $20 fee for bounced checks so please be careful. Check must be
in US dollars, against a US bank, and must have bank "tracer codes".
