  If you wish to write a few words about yourself, or your board:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  this part is not mandatory, and it will be kept confidential
  ...feel free, go ahead..




  Security feature:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  At some point, a regular (non sysop) user, completed this application,
  claiming he was interested in PetNET, and he was granted NetSysOp status,
  with access to the NetSysOps conference, etc., only to find out that the
  REAL BBS SysOp (that he was claiming to be) wasn't even aware of our net.
  To verify this, and to be able to visit your bbs from time to time, to
  upload updated PetNET files, etc., if you are a full time sysop, you
  should be able to set up an account that will allow your HUB to stop
  by your bbs, as well:

  Account Name:            Petnet Adm
  Account Password:        __________   (fill in)

  By typing or signing my name, I state that I have read and agree to abide
  by the rules and regulations of PetNET(tm), and accept that the Net Admi-
  nistrator has the final word in any future situation or conflict that may
  come up.  Failure to comply with the rules and directives of the Net Admi-
  nistration may cause me to be suspended from this network.

  Your Name ____________________________  Date __________________________

    What to do next:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.  Save this completed application as a file called YOUR BBS NAME.TXT

2.  Forward this NetSysOp Application to your HUB.

3.  Ask your HUB if it has any comments on improving your Application,
    and it will come and check out your BBS.

4.  Your HUB might have corrections for you, or further instructions
    regarding your Application, or your BBS PetNET section's configuration,
    screens, the displaying of PetNET guidelines, etc.

5.  Once your BBS is verified by your HUB, have them privately forward
    your application to the Network Supervisor, in the P_NetSysOps
    conference, or you can directly call Critter Connection BBS at
    718-706-7634, and forward this application either as a file attachment
    to a C)omment to the sysop, or upload it (when permitted).

6.  The PetNET Administration isn't a nitpicker, but probably someone from
    the PetNET Administration, or their designee(s) will sometimes visit
    your BBS and see if everything is okay with your PetNET section, as well.

7.  You, and your HUB, should wait for an approval message from the National
    Main HUB, or their designee(s), before proceeding with the actual real
    e-mail runs, (except initialization and origin taglines test).

8.  In the meantime, proceed to exchange the Tests Initialization messages
    in ALL of the 5 (five) mandatory conferences, so that your HUB can
    check the proper insertion of your BBS's ORIGIN tagline, and their
    proper arrivals in the respective conferences.

    The same initialization messages one would post on other nets will do:

    Example:   XXXXXX  BBS - proudly, now echoes the PetNET's P_xxxxxx
               conference.  Your Name - SysOp.

    Your HUB should reply to your initialization messages in all these
    conferences, specifying the conference they've arrived in, and quoting
    back to you, your origin tagline, for you to see how they look, on
    your end.
    Please quote back one or two taglines originating from your HUB.
