    If you would like to become a member of NIRVANAnet(tm), please read
    over the Charter and make sure that your BBS qualifies as an Open
    System as defined by the Charter. Then fill out the following
    application, cut it where it says to, then upload the application to
    your nearest NIRVANAnet(tm) BBS. It also helps to leave the sysop
    e-mail, so that they know your application is waiting.

    Please also make sure that you rename the filled out application
    using the following format!

                          xxx-xxxx.aaa

                          x = your phone number
                          a = your area code

    &TOTSE's file would be = 935-5845.510

Question: Why does an open network require this info from its members?  
                                                                        
Answer: If a hub goes down, it can cut the network in half. We have to  
have this info so if you go down, we can determine why and fix the      
problem or re-route the network around your system.
