  Thank you for downloading our network archive. The main purpose of 
  this archive is to let you know a little bit more about the fastest
  growing file distribution network to date.


  WHAT IS TDS NETWORK ?
  ---------------------
  TDS Network is a worldwide BBS Doors & Utility file distribution
  network for users, Sysop of bulletin boards & BBS Door and Utility
  developers/authors.

  TDS also retails over 40 brands of High quality, durable and
  branded modems at very affordable prices to both members and non-
  members. At the same time, we also retail the every popular
  NS-16550-AFN UART chips at single and bulk prices.

  We also provide an extensive catalog of CDROM software ranging from
  shareware to copyrighted discs, general clipart to adult pictures
  on discs. We have over 1000 titles available for mail order.


  AIMS
  ----
  The first aim of the network is to consolidate as many of the old 
  and latest doors into a huge library for users to download.
  This saves alot of "Door Hunting" and also unnecessary calling
  to places where new updates of door(s) "might" not be found.

  Our second aim is to assist BBS Door & Utility developers/authors in
  the distribution of their software(s). Since our membership is so
  extensive and our local & international hubs call daily to pick up
  files, you are guaranteed an extensive distribution of the software
  you write which will in-turn generate more registrations.

  WHAT ARE OUR RULES.
  -------------------
  1.   All archives will be distributed as is and will not be modified
       or tempered with.

  2.   Files which are NOT BBS Door or utility related will NOT BE
       DISTRIBUTED.

  3.   COPYRIGHTED / COMMERCIAL file(s) is/are not allowed and will be
       deleted if submitted.
 

  USERS & SYSOPS (both Internationally & locally)
  -----------------------------------------------
  Members have access to our huge bbs door & utility library. Both
  sysops and users have the opportunity of picking up our files using
  a variety of methods outlined below :

  1.    ONLINE DOWNLOAD - Sysops may manually login using their regular
        communication software, join our TDS Conference #194 and download
        as much as possible. Members get over 150 minutes and unlimited
        download bytes.

  2.    FIDONET TICK AREAS - Sysops who support the fidonet Tick file
        software may wish to use this method of easy transfer. There 
        are only 5 tick file areas unlike other networks which have over
        20 areas which make finding doors confusing.


        TDS AREAS :

        AREA NAME     DESCRIPTION
        ---------     ------------------------------------------------
        TDSUTILS      Latest TDS BBS Utilities.

  3.    FILE REQUEST WHAT YOU WANT ONLY - Sysops with Front-ends may
        file request our files list anytime. They can then pick and
        choose the files they need. This method reduces the chances
        of getting any unwanted doors thus saving even more on the
        phone bill.

  4.    FILES ON DISK or TAPE - We also provide files on tape. Please
        call us or download the latest TDS Network archive (TDSXXXX.
