BizBase, Toronto (416) 698-7395
Toronto's Business BBS
presents:
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BizNet : The Business Network
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BizNet is a PCRelay/Qnet echomail network specifically for boards
which cater to business users. Our conferences are tailored
especially for that purpose.
BizNet is strictly business. BizNet systems may cross-echo network
messages with other echomail networks upon prior permission of the
BizNet Sysop Group (BSG).
To join the network, you must have either PCRelay or any of the Qnet
variations of netmailing software (Tnet, Rnet). Fill out and send in
the attached form, or call BizBase at 416-698-7395 and fill out
questionnaire 3 from the main menu.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
/ Rules of Order - Version 2.0 (Apr 15/92)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BizNet is operated by the BizNet Sysop Group(BSG), whose membership

admit or refuse any Sysop as a participating system to BizNet; the
BSG further reserves the right to suspend network access of any
individual or system for misconduct considered detrimental to the
spirit and intent of BizNet.
The BSG shall designate one of its members to act as Operations
Officer to run the day─to─day operations of BizNet and to coordinate
system membership applications. This position is affectionately
referred to as BOSS. The BOSS position will be assigned to each system
in the BizNet in turn quarterly.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Though the BSG is responsible for implementing changes to these Rules

petition the BSG for Rule changes at any time. However, all
discussions of that nature must be conducted in the BizNet
