-
-
- The message should include the following information:
-
- a. Your system's name. For example: Joe Blow's RBBS, Home
- Town RCP/M/CBBS. Scan the list and pick an original!
- b. Your System's area code and phone number. If your system
- is available thru PC Pursuit, let me know.
- c. Your location. (City and Province or State).
- d. Sysop's name.
- e. Hours of operation.
- f. Modem speeds supported.
- g. Your on-line storage capacity. (Total, in Mb).
- h. Hardware and BBS software used.
- i. Special features and interests, hardware notes, etc.
- j. Restrictions. (Fee charged, "first-time" restriction,
- etc.).
-
- NOTE: The combined text for items (i) and (j) should fit into two
- 75 character lines. If this size is exceeded, the text will
- be edited to conform to the desciption format now used.
-
- Below is a template for RCP/M list entries. Your update file
- should follow this format.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- System Name Location (city) Mdm Speed Phone Number
- Sysop's Name Hrdware & BBS Sftware Hours Size Date
- Description of system (up to two 75 character lines).
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- EVEN IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON THE CURRENT LIST, please send
- this information if anything is missing, incorrect or has been
- changed. You should also send the information occasionally just
- to confirm that you are still up and unchanged. If you discover
- that another system has come up or gone down, it would be greatly
- appreciated if you would pass the word along to any of the
- systems listed above, so that I can keep the list as up-to-date
- as possible. Also, pass this document on to new Sysops.
-
- Note: It is better if you send a file with the information about
- your system using KMD or XMODEM, since is it easier to pick up
- files rather than messages and the error-checking will prevent
- errors in the phone number or other data. Use .DOC or .UPD or
- your area code as the filetype. Using your areacode will make it
- easier for the list editor to add updates.
-
- System operators of recognized systems may obtain free
- access to the Sysop RCP/M Detroit (a passworded clearing house
- for system operators that carries the latest software). To
- obtain access to this system, you must be running a significant
- system, the existence of which will be verified.
-
- To gain access to Sysop RCP/M, the National Remote System
- Clearinghouse, you must first obtain a password. This may be
- done by either:
-
- (1) Calling Technical CBBS RCP/M ([313] 846-6127) and
- leaving a note on the system as you exit the MINICBBS
- message system (use the 'G' for Goodbye, and it will
- then allow you to leave a note to Dave Hardy, the
- Sysop), or
-
- (2) Call Dave Hardy (voice) at CDP Corp. at (313) 846-1055
- Mon-Fri 11AM-7PM. This is the preferred method and also
- the fastest.
-
- Be sure to also include your choice for your password for using
- the Sysop RCP/M. Please make your password at least 6 characters
- long (maximum of 20, no ";", "$" or "," characters please) and
- don't use anything obvious.
-
- ***DO NOT LEAVE YOUR REQUEST IN A MINICBBS MESSAGE! *** LEAVE IT
- ONLY AS A COMMENT WHEN YOU EXIT MINICBBS via the 'G' command.
-
- There is no fee for accessing the Sysop RCP/M. The password
- protection is to provide a private communications and exchange
- system for remote system operators.
-
- The telephone number for the Sysop RCP/M is (313) 885-0506.
-
- Sysops should also be aware that the RCPMnnnn.LST is
- periodically verified. If your system is non-operative around
- the middle of the month but not permanently down, send a message
- to me (Ian Cottrell) through any of the systems listed above,
- explaining the situation. While missing a single verification
- will not normally result in deletion from the list, it is better
- to be safe than sorry. If your system is no longer functioning,
- please have a friend modem a message so your system can be
- deleted. If your system is deleted in error, send a message and
- you will re-instated as soon as possible.
