═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
"America's Local BBS Network"
NOTE: ECHOHLPx.ZIP and new QWK/REP users please read NEWUSER.TXT
This is the information package for COASTNET! This QWK/REP mail network went
online January 1st, 1993.
COASTNET! Ends It's 2nd year.......This network is NOT designed to compete or
attempt to replace any other existing network. The creative design behind the
COASTNET! idea is to supply small BBS's with active networked conferences that
they can call their own. That is why we call ourself "The Local Network" and
strive to keep our conferences unique and not attempt to be another "FIDO"tm
or WILDNET(tm). Sysops participating in this network should feel that they
are part of a co-op rather than just a HUB or NODE downlink! Let it also be
known the the logo of this network is "COASTNET!" (verbatim).
In an attempt to bring new sysops into the QWK/REP echo mail world COASTNET!
may be considered a "Training Network" ....this is not meant to lessen the use
or ability of the network, but to allow all who have the desire to participate
without fear of rejection!
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The follow is a listing of available conferences. Please note that conference
number 10 should be carried by all BBS's echoing from the Laser~Coast~Line.
Please also note that the conferences begin at 10, leaving room for your own
local ones, if so desired. CN:COASTNET! ADMIN - should NOT be made available
to the general public! It is for Sysop/Conference Host use only!!
