    Hello and welcome to the new and exciting world of AccessNet!  AccessNet
is a relatively new net-mail network (Est. 4/10/91).  What makes AccessNet
different is that friendliness and professionalism come first.  We have the
friendliest group of SysOps ever assembled in a netmail network! :)

    AccessNet is comprised of many different conferences or "channels".  We even
have an "Adults ONLY" channel.  For a complete list of all available channels
see ACCESSNT.LST.   Also - Please check with either The ACCESS NetworkEast or
The ACCESS NetworkWest bulletin boards for the latest ACCNETxx.ZIP file.  There
may have been changes and/or additions to our channels...

                    The ACCESS NetworkEast (518) 283-5716/5719
                    The ACCESS NetworkWest (619) 247-1816

    The purpose for creating AccessNet was simple!  We believe that
participating in net-mail should be one of the most fun and exciting parts of
BBS'g!  There are many net-mail networks out there that are a nightmare to
deal with!  From the obnoxious to the primadanas, SysOps who don't care enough
about their supporting Sites.  Without the necessary support, setting up and
maintaining a net-mail system can be a frustrating task.   We, however, care
about each and every participating BBS - whether they are a Site, Hub, or a
Regional Hub!   There are NO fees or dues that are required to become an
AccessNet SysOp!  The only requirements are that you are a friendly and
responsible SysOp and that you have PostLink software.

    One of the major differences with AccessNet is YOU the SysOp!  All AccessNet
SysOps are encouraged to participate in the growth and direction of the network.
This is a very unique opportunity to help steer a growing network.   All
AccessNet SysOps have equal voting power.

    By being an AccessNet SysOp, you decide which channels you wish to carry!
The exception, unfortunately, are those SysOps who are younger than 18.  Those
who are not 18 years of age may not carry any of the adult channels.  (Please
read our Guidelines for additional information).

    We use PostLink software exclusively.  PostLink is probably the most
versatile and user-friendly net-mail system available!  It is set up as a door
on your BBS... Not as a front door!  Upon connecting with a BBS - one should not
have to "hit escape" to log on!  Most people who are calling a board are calling
to utilize the BBS...NOT to transfer mail.  As an internal door, PostLink will
never annoy your users!  Other features of PostLink include:  the ability to
send and request files, manage and maintain all mail transfers automatically, a
built in communications program that can write your logon scripts, automatically
allows the handling of private mail without lengthy security or ID numbers that
have no meaning, all Sites have the ability to become a HUB built into the
package, allows you to add your BBS's Tagline, and many many other useful and
needed features.  PostLink was written by Kip Compton, author of PCRelay, for
use by PCBoard BBS software;  HOWEVER, there are many UTI drivers available for
many different types of BBS software.  As a result, we have a very diverse
group of SysOps that make up AccessNet.  Postlink currently costs $50.00 and may
be purchased from Larry Miller of The ACCESS NetworkEast (518-283-5716/5719).
