                New Software Online  (PCBoard 15.2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------                           
 If you have called recently you already know that we have switched software to
PCBoard 15.2. It took about 3 weeks to get it up and running, and we want to
apologize to everyone who had any trouble getting through.

 With PCBoard we expect to be able to add allot of new features. One of the
first things that we plan on is hooking into a few of the adult networks. This
will allow you to communicate with people all over the country. 

 Another feature is that we will eventually be able to hook into the InterNet.
If you haven't heard already, you will be able to send E-Mail to anyone in the
world that has an InterNet address.

 If you have any questions concerning the use of PCBoard, drop the Sysop a note,
telling him what you problem is, in as much detail as you can.

                      How To Access The Files!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 For those of you that are wondering what happened to the local adult file
bases let me tell you where they went.

 Inorder to access the adult file bases you must be in one of the adult
conferences. If you are in the main conference you will not be able to even
see the adult file areas, when you do the "F" command. Remember to check
the file list in all conferences, as there may be an area that is not
available except in the conference that you are presently in!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          Read Your Messages!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Having trouble reading your messages? Yeah, me too, when I first fired up the
new software. The commands you need to remember are the following.......

R)ead Messages
YA) Yours all........Read all your messages
ALL) Read all un-read messages
RE) Reply to current message

K)ill a message after you have read it. (Applies to personal mail only)
If you remember these five commands you should have no problem getting all your
mail and being able to read all the public post.

                              Alias Only!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Connect Online! is an Alias only BBS. this means that your true identity will
never be known to any of the users unless you decide to tell them. If you have 
logged on and used your real name, instead of an alias, and now would like to 
change that. Drop the sysop a note telling what you would like to change it to.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                           Get The Word Out!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Encolsed with this file there is another file called BBSAD.ASC. This is an 
advertisment for Connect Online! When your online with the other BBS's that you
call, I would appreciate it if you would upload that file in the form of a 
message in the base for BBS ads. Most all boards have a local or network base 
for that purpose. Thank you for your help. The more members we have the better 
it is for all.

                     Tips on Placing a Classified Ad
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interested in placing an ad in the classified sections of Connect Online, and
not sure about what to say? Here are a few pointers to help you out.
1. Of course put a description of yourself (ie: hair color, weight, height, ect)
2. If this is an ad looking for other swingers, tell if you are a couple,
   single male, or single female, and what your looking for (Other couples,
   or singles)
3. Tell what you limits are sexually.
4. List whether you have been tested for HIV
5. Tell whether you smoke or not
6. Whether you do drugs or not
7. And anything else that you feel would interest others in wanting to meet
   you.
Thats about it....Hope to see your ad online soon!

                        Profiles........Now Online!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Would you like to know a little about some of the other users before you post
a message to someone? Now you can...At the main menu type "MATCH" (without
the quotes) to go into the Match maker door.

 Once there you will be able to view others profiles, and put one in for 
yourself. It's a great way to get to know someone. Another feature of this
program is that you can also attach a GIF image of yourself to your profile
for others to download. Of course this is not a requirement, but we do 
encourage it. If your afraid of someone recognizing you, then mask out your
face in the photo, before it is scanned.

Come on and join in on the fun.....in Profiles!

IMPORTANT!!               OOPS! We had a glitch!                  IMPORTANT!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 On Feb. 27 we had a problem! Duing the maintinance cycle we had a power outage
and lost the user.idx file which contains all of the users alias names. I am 
rushing this issue of the newsletter to get the word out.

 If you have not logged on since FEB. 27, 1995, you need to go to the main
menu and type "W" (without the quotes) to modify your personal info. Fill in
all areas that are blank. If you choose not to do this, your real name will
be used instead of your handle.

 We apologize for this, and have taken steps to make sure that it never
happens again.
