WHAT IS NETLAND:                                                               
                                                                               
   A monthly international electronic magazine dedicated to the                
news in the independent computer network world.  NetLand was                   
created to give the independent networks a vehicle for                         
disseminating information about their respective networks to                   
SYSOPS and users.                                                              
                                                                               
   Each issue will contain notices submitted by various networks               
and the most current listing of Adam Michlin's NETSALL.ART.  The               
publisher hopes that either members of nets, or others interested              
in the field will also contribute articles concerning the                      
Alternative Networks.                                                          
                                                                               
   We'd love to see articles comparing the FIDO technology based               
versus the QWK based networks, the pros and cons of independent                
operation and virtually any topic about independent networks that              
will be of interest to our viewers.                                            
                                                                               
   Many network operators have developed a large following of                  
dedicated BBS members, others are just beginning to enter the                  
field.  ALL of the networks offer some measure of unique service,              
and NetLand is the perfect place to make others aware of these                 
benefits.                                                                      
                                                                               
                                                                               
DISTRIBUTION:                                                                  
   Distribution of NetLand will be accomplished by either                      
FREQing using the magic name of NETLAND from The Barter Board at               
any of the network addresses listed above, or via the EP-MAG File              
Echo on both the Fido Backbone and Planet Connect.                             
                                                                               
   Authors are encouraged to make NetLand available for download               
by their users and FREQable by other SYSOPS.

   Special thanks to Michael Gibbs for producing ReadRoom, and                 
Adam Michlin for allowing us to publish his NETSALL.ART and                    
making the OTHERNETS echo available to all of us.
