Applying for PCGnet Membership


 1.  If you are an experienced Sysop running a CAD or Graphics oriented
     bulletin board system with an active and mature user base and are
     interested in joining PCGnet, please complete the PCGNET.FRM in-
     cluded in this archive and submit it to the PCGnet Membership
     Coordinator, James Witt at PC-AUG BBS - please see the file
     INTRO.TXT. for additional information.

     Please do be careful to fill out all information in the PCGNET.FRM.

2.   In addition to completing PCGNET.FRM, you will also need to prepare and
     submit a 'Sysop Profile' where you provide professional and personal
     information sufficient to aid us in the evaluation process.  This is an
     IMPORTANT step in the application process so please be sure to follow
     the instructions for completing the Sysop Profile.

3.   Upon completion of the PCGNET.FRM and the Sysop Profile, your ap-
     plication should be returned as a 'private upload' to the PCGnet
     Membership Coordinator, complete with a private message announcing
     the upload and completion of your application.

4.   Once a prospective member's application has been received by the
     Membership Coordinator, the application form will be posted in the
     NetAdmin conference.  PCGnet Members have 14 days to voice any
     objections thereof.

5.   Next, a PCGnet Sysop will be assigned by the Membership Coordinator
     to call your system in order to determine eligibility, please follow
     the instructions in the application form carefully as you will be
     required to create a login account and password for the PCGnet
     Sysop.  We will call your system, check your message bases, your file
     bases, bulletins, etc.  Please keep the login account valid for at
     least 30 days.

6.   Once your system has been evaluated and accepted as a prospective
     PCGnet member, either the PCGnet Membership Coordinator or a PCGnet
     HUB Sysop will contact you by phone to inform you of your status; you
     will be instructed to download an additional archived packet that will
     contain all the information you need to help you get your system echoing
     mail with PCGnet.


An Important Notice


  All new nodes will be placed on a probationary period not to exceed
  90 days from the date that they begin echoing mail with PCGnet. During
  this time, your  system may, at the  discretion of the PCGnet
  Coordinator, be dropped from the network for any violation of the
  guidelines stated elsewhere in this information packet.   After 90
  days, your system will be added to the official PCGnet member listing,
  which will be reposted and distributed to all PCGnet members.

  Additional rules and restrictions also apply but do not fall within
  the scope of this file.
