USER FULL NAME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your name is used in various forms throughout NOS.
For instance, if you POP mail from a hub station,
(meaning: if you use Post Office Protocol), your
station will login automatically by sending the
station callsign and your first name.
When you send mail, your full name will be inserted
into the information header (some vital information
sent with the message) and your first name
(see <F2>) appears in the mail signature (a piece
of text that says who and where you are) that is
appended to your messages.
Automatic login for an ftp session (File Transfer
Protocol) to other stations uses your callsign
and first name.
TCP/IP tends to be more open about personal details
that other modes because it is more user than BBS
orientated. If you object to this for any reason,
just enter your first name in field 1 (see <F1>).
Since your firstname is used in the mail signature
and is normally less formal, you may like to
abbreviate it or change it to your nick name.
That is why a separate field is provided for your mail
name.
Example: Full Name: James L Fixit
Mail Name: Jim
