ConnectNET Network Application
Last Revised: May 24, 1996
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Information
ConnectNET was started February 17, 1996 between Devcon BBS (the NC) and
and Len's Flying Quintet (the AC). The node numbering system is an easy
to follow system, with a permanent node assigned on a +1 basis, @1 being
the NC, @2 the AC, (the area coordinators in ConnectNET are in charge of
new systems) and @3 the SLC. @4 is the permanent number of the original
NC, @5 is held for the original AC. @6 is the first "real" node.

Network & Group Coordinators
The NC is a lifelong position unless the NC resigns or has 90 percent of
the network's votes to remove the current NC. Then the NC will initiate
a general election held for a new NC. The election will be the same way
an AC or SLC election is held (explained later in the docs) The NC will
also be the GC for Group 1, unless the NC wishes to appoint someone else
to the position. The GC will handle all the responsabilities of NC, and
forward any and all changes to the NC for distribution.
The NC will be responsable for:
■ Network support
■ Sending out updates
■ Receiving applications
■ Counting votes
■ Keeping the net running up to speed
The GC will be responsable for:
■ Sending updates to the NC
■ Getting nodes running in their group
■ Helping the NC run the network

Other Coordinators
The AC (Area Coordinator) is the NC's assitant, and has a 6 month
term. Voting will be discussed later, the AC can only be removed when
the AC resigns or 2/3 (or more) of the net wants the AC removed. (The
same holds true for the SLC). Both the AC and the SLC are voted on in
specified months. The AC voting is in March and September, the SLC is
voted on in January and July. The incumbant needs below 1/3 the votes
to be defeated. If there is no incumbant, or if the incumbant has the
under 1/3 the votes, majority wins. Voting will be based upon all the
sysops voting. Only one vote is allowed for each BBS.
The AC will be responsable for:
■ Setting up connections
■ Helping new sysops get the net set up correctly
■ Helping the NC in whatever way is needed
The SLC will be responsable for:
■ Setting up the subs.lst
■ Making sure the subs.lst is always up to date
New nodes will be allowed unless 25% of the sysops have reason to
reject them. The reason must be valid. Unregistered WWIV BBSes / net
software is allowed, but registration is highly encouraged. No system
with illegally modded source code will be allowed in the network, plus
no system with any illegal files will be allowed. Knowledge or taking
part in any illegal activities over the net is not permitted and is an
immediate reason to be removed from the net. 75% voting is the normal
required number of votes to be removed from the network. Only user #1
on a BBS is allowed to vote.

Connections
The AfterMath WNY Server is available to connect to for local and
long distance connections. It will callout to long distance BBSs that
have four more nodes connecting to it. It is @1716 on ConnectNET, and
the Group 1 GC.
Connections may also be made to @1 if connecting to @1716 isn't a
possibility for a sysop.

General Network Rules:
1) Taglines are NOT permitted on the network.
2) Private BBSes are allowed, but will have [PVT] next to their
name, and their phone will be listed "716-ZZZ-XXXX" with ZZZ
being the zone code.
3) Part Time BBSes are allowed also, but will have [PT] next to
their name. Their FULL PHONE will be listed.
4) The WNY-GEN and WNY-SYS subs are required subs.
5) Gating subs is NOT encouraged, but will be permitted.
