                       -------------------------

         Interested in communicating with other Sysops and BBS users in
your region?  If so, then VANet is for you.  VANet was formed to provide
a place where BBS users and Sysops in Virginia could come and talk, play
games, and exchange files with eachother.  We also have a few out-of-state
BBSes who are run by former Virginia residents who want to keep up with
what's happening in their former state.

         For a list of echomail conferences, take a look at VACONF.TXT
or VAECHO.NA.  For a list of fileecho conferences, take a look at
VAFCONF.TXT or VAFILE.NA.

                       |      VANet Rules      |
                       -------------------------

         As for rules, well, there are no set rules.  We just ask that
everyone use common sense when posting.  Here are some very basic rules
that need to be followed:

           1. No profanity
           2. No flaming
           3. Signatures are not to exceed 3-lines

         Rules will be added as time goes on.  If a moderator tells you
to stop a message chain, please do so, most likely s/he has a good reason
for doing this.
