* Renegade Bulletin Board System Support Network
* The Ultimate Renegade Support network! Read on....
What is it?
-----------
Renegade Support Network (RGSNet) is an open, easy-going
message network devoted to the support of Renegade
Bulletin Board Systems. RGSNet has been in operation
since September, 1993. Our current member list exceeds
1100 nodes. Although Renegade is the most popular
software used in the network, any sysop is welcome
regardless of BBS software.

The echos themselves generate approximately 300
messages per day (total) about 2000-2500 per week.
What are the rules?
-------------------
1. You must use real names. This can be done in
Renegade by toggling the 'R'eal names flag to 'on'
in all the RGSNet message areas.
Exceptions: RGS_DOORS - Handles ok, must sign with
Real Name.
RGS_CHAT - Handles ok.
RGS_BRE50 - Handles ok.
2. You must use a front-end mailer such as FrontDoor. I
suggest using FrontDoor v2.12 Noncommercial, but
other mailers such as Portal of Power, D'Bridge, and
BinkleyTerm work fine.
3. All systems MUST be 300 baud or higher.
Sorry, no 110 baud here. :-)
4. Simple!
What does it cost?
------------------
The services we provide are free, however, the costs
of maintaining the system resources to provide quality
mail services and file distributions do cost us money.
Some hubs and hosts may require a small fee to offset
their cost of calling long distance, others do not.
If your hub/host imposes some sort of Cost Reduction
Plan, then that would be considered your cost and
donation to the network. If your hub/host does not
require a fee, or you would just like to help further
RGSNet's growth and development to help provide even
better services, please send a small contribution
($5.00 or more) to:
Scott Freeman
P. O. Box 1141
North Palm Springs, CA.
92258-1141
Your contribution will recorded, and a special
"Thank You" will be posted in the RGSNet InfoPack,
released each month. You will be listed with other
"contributors" and it will be noted that you, along
with many others, helped further Renegade and Renegade
Support for EVERYONE!
How do I join?
--------------
All you need to do is contact your local RGSNet node
for the latest InfoPack and Application Kit.
Freq'ing "RGSNET" from any of the following sites
will also get you the latest RGSNet InfoPack:
USA West - Scott Freeman - 1:219/800
USA East - Charles Gaefke - 1:129/230
Canada - Brent Smith - 1:245/100 /113
NZ/Australia - Wayne Knott - 3:772/390
Israel - Benji Selano - 2:403/652
Run the file APPGEN.EXE to automatically create a short
text file with vital information needed to apply. Once
you have completed the application, netmail the file
created with your information to your state host
(preferably, if there is one), or the Network
Coordinator at 50:50/0, or upload it to
619-862-0072 Alternate Reality BBS.
If you know your state host's address, please send the
application to that address, the turn-around time is
much quicker that way.
Once your application is reviewed, you will be sent a
node number and nodelist via netmail in ZIP form.
Or, if you cannot be reached via netmail, we will try
our best to send it via your BBS. Please allow 7-10
days for your application to be reviewed and a new
node number assigned (we receive them almost every day
and it is sometimes difficult to keep up), please
be patient.
* NOTE: You must be using a front-end mailer such as
FrontDoor to join RGSNet.
Thanks,
