GlobalNet is a free, electronic amateur computer network. GlobalNet is like a
Ham network where as Ham uses radio sites all around the world to talk to each
other and GlobalNet uses electronic messages. The GlobalNet Network is made up
of Sysops (Computer System Operators) who want to freely exchange messages that
pertain to many different subject areas. The GlobalNet Network operates by
the Fidonet(tm) technical standards. To link into the GlobalNet Network you
need a front-end mailer and a mail tosser. You do not need to run a bulletin
board system to link in and talk to people around the Globe. For more info.
on how to setup your system to link into the GlobalNet Network, contact
one of the persons below.

I'm sure a lot of you, who have been part of networks for a long time are
either saying that this is just another network that has been started. This
statement is truly wrong. I know what it is like to be the lazy Sysop or the
busy Sysop when you have no time to check things out, but GlobalNet is truly
"THE" new network of the 90's! So why not take 10 mins. and try it out?

If you are an author of a specific program, you can run your own support message
echo on the GlobalNet Network for Free!

Below are some of the most common questions that are asked.

                        GlobalNet Common Question


1) Why should I join GlobalNet?

Answer: Everyone wants to know why they should do something. They all want
to know, "What's in it for me?". Well, I can only tell you that (GN) is for
you and everyone else! The major difference between (GN) and other networks
is that (GN) cares about what every single node likes and dislikes. Everyone
has a voice in (GN) and this voice will be heard all the way to the top of
(GN)! (GN) is a network that everyone can consider their own. Steps have been
added into (GN) to make sure that problems do not occur like in other big
networks. Every time someone makes a suggestion and wants to implement it, their
suggestion will be discussed and voted on by every member in (GN). Also, in (GN)
you will not find pages and pages of policies! (GN) policy is one-two pages and
all it does is describe the workings of (GN). It does not tell you that you
can't do this and can't do that. Message echoes are the main part of (GN) and
in these areas, you won't find moderators who will bust your chops. (GN) is
for the hobbyist and most people seem to forget that.
        Since Globalnet is brand new, membership is low, however once new nodes
link in, they realize that this is the network to be in and it works for them.
You don't have to listen to me, give (GN) a try. It's 100% free and it runs on
the Fido technology. We have established a (CC) in the USA and in Europe. If you
are interested in giving (GN) fill out the GlobeNet Application.

2) How do I get started? I don't know how to install GlobalNet.
Answer: This is the second most asked question. Unlike other networks, who don't
take the time to help you setup and understand how things work, GlobalNet takes
the time to teach you how to setup and run everything correctly. It is very
simple to install (GN) in your BBS system. All you need is a front end mailer,
mail tosser and a (GN) nodelist. It is that simple. If you need further help you
can contact the North American (CC) or the European (CC).
Anytime you need help with something, all you need to do is contact a member in
(GN) and he/she will be happy to help you.
