Sysop's TechNet has a mission for itself and for sysops worldwide.  We
wish to become a meeting ground of ideas, technological advances, and most
importantly, sysop support.  We are looking to expand our already rapidly
growing network, not only with more sysops, but with more developers as well.
By developers, we mean BBS software authors, frontend mailer authors, door
authors, beta sites, registration sites...  Basically we wish representatives
from all major and minor softwares to become a part of our network.  Not only
for the support they can provide our members, current and future, but for the
advertising and promotion on our network.  We wish to provide developers a
medium in which to reach a large number of sysops with their product.

This has two benefits.  Obviously, the more members in the network, the more
any one developer will look at it seriously to take part in, however the
reverse is also true.  The more developers the network provides access to, the
more members will join the network.  With, currently, over 40 independant
systems in over eight countries world-wide, Sysop's TechNet is already making
a large name for itself among the amateur FTN networks.  We wish to increase
our reach, increase our numbers, so that we may reach even more networks and
provide quality information to them, and provide the best help a sysop can
attain anywhere, whether it be for sysops on the IBM-PC and compatable
platform, or Amiga and Apple computers.

Currently, we have representatives for over 80 different software packages.
These representatives are nothing short of authors, beta sites, registration
sites, and alpha sites.  However, this is a very small list, compared to what
it could be.  We wish to increase this list, increase the direct support
software representatives can give sysops around the world.  Please see the
included stn-supp.lst file for details and representatives.

What are we, as Sysop's TechNet, administration prepared to do?  Provide you
with a vehicle to advertise and promote your product on the network, whether
it be to advertise new releases or new products, give important information on
your product.  Provide you with an independant echo for your product,
depending on some small factors (ie. size of product, type of product, etc.).
Offer a centralized support network for your product.  All this and more.

If you wish more information on this entirely *free* service Sysop's TechNet
is willing to provide *all* developers world-wide, please contact Jeff
