                             INTERNATIONAL GAYLink (tm)

    International GayLink is a new and rapidly growing exclusively gay computer
network.  The network was recently formed by the board of directors of Legend
On-Line America BBS, in Roseville,MI, who felt that there was a serious gap in
the services provided to the international gay community.

    GayLink is itself a new NET, formed in January of 1994.  Legend On-line
America currently carries RIME, ThrobNet and After Dark International networks,
along with it's own local bases, and of course, GayLink.  Legend On-Line
America and GayLink are currently equipped with Ten nodes running on PCBoard,
each operating at 2400 baud thru 14400.

    The network was originally started as an exclusively gay network for the
Metro Detroit area but, quite frankly, there are not enough active gay BBS's in
that area to maintain sufficient message flow... so here it is, the first
PCBoard based, exclusively gay international computer network! (that we know
of)
    Legend On-Line America currently supports the following echomail software:
Cam_mail, NetMail, QNet, and RNet, allowing interfacing with many popular BBS
software packages such as PCBoard, Wildcat, Spitfire, and RBBS.  POSTLINK
compatibility is also in the works.

    The conferences, as of yet, are quite basic but cover a broad range of
tastes.  GayLink currently consists of conferences such as Bi-Sexual,Cut /Uncut
Fantasy,fetish,French,Greek,Lesbian,Masterbation,Sex Talk Sex Toys,Tranvestite
Travel Gay and Water Sports.  If the demand for other conferences should arise,
they will be added.

    The rules of the network are quite simple.  All conferences are intended
for adults only and neither GayLink nor Legend On-Line America assume
responsibility for individual's accessing the system.  It is required that the
individual node or hub monitor and verify this information, and control access
to these conferences and this network. In other words, participation in the
network and the network conferences will not cause any responsibility, legal or
otherwise, to be placed on the network host, the network, GayLink it's Sysops,
administrators, or other related parties.  The participating node or hub is
responsible for all applicable laws and regulations.

    Carrying the NetAdmin conference is a requirement for all hubs and
nodes.  This is where all discussion about the network and any issues
surrounding it will be dealt with.  Access to this conference is to be
limited only to Sysops of the hub or node.  Also, at this time, the
final word on all issues is that of the network host and/or the board of
directors of GayLink.  Finally, aliases are allowed in all cases except
that of the sysop.  The sysop may use an alias in any conference other than
NetAdmin, although it is not recommended.

    Other files you will find in this zipfile include a conference list
and an application to GayLink.  To apply to become a node or hub, send in
the application with a copy of your drivers licence for proof of age
over 18, or call 810-779-9884 for fax, or call Legend On-Line America
810-776-1975, and leave a message for the sysop.

    Thanks for downloading this information and welcome to the Network!
