Welcome to "The Itty Bitty Netmail Network", IBNnet . IBNnet is one of the many entrants into the world of message base echoes. IBNnet was formed For those of us that want a small easy to manage network without all the hassles encountered by many of the larger networks. Our aim is to stay small and still have a Variety of conferences to choose from. If You seek a relaxed network without 100's of conferences to worry about. If easy access is what your looking for, Then maybe IBNnet is for you. IBNnet operates under QWK based software, So if your system can handle QWK's you can probably echo with us. IBNnet charges NO membership fees or yearly dues. The only required conference is: SYSOPS which is to be used as a combined sysops and network administration conference and is CLOSED to the general Public. For those choosing to carry the Adult conference PROOF of age is required to carry this conference.
