Until the end of August, new users don't have to register (pay) for user access
to the BBS.  These instructions refer to after that time.

The Roman Catacombs is not a 'free' bbs.  It costs a lot of money to keep the
BBS running month-to-month.  (generally around $100.00 a month to pay for the 
phone line(s), maintenance, new acquisitions, etc)  

As a non-registered user (visitor access), you may:
	Look at files (no upload or download)
	Read news
	Play the online games.
Visitor access allows only 20 minutes per day.

As a charter user ($20.00 per year), you have the following additions:
	Look, upload and download up to 500K of files per day.
	Read and post to the news system.
Charter access allows 40 minutes per day.

As a constituent ($30.00 per year), you gain the following features:
	You have unlimited download access per day.
Constituent access allows 60 minutes per day.

For an additional $10.00 per year, adult access is given to any user level
above visitor.

You may ask: 

Q: Why is it a pay-bbs?  Fort Mac wasn't a pay-bbs!

A: Fort Mac suffered from horrible disk drives and lost files sections because
it was unable to keep its equipment current.  This system will not have that
problem.

Q: Why should I pay?

A: Paying for the BBS guarentees:
	1.  The user is serious about wanting to become part of the BBS.
	2.  The BBS is professionally maintained.  Errors and problems will
		be taken care of upon notification.

Q: Where do I send a check?

A: Write a short note telling who you are, how long you wish to pay for (if
longer than one year), and what access you wish.  (e.g. do you want charter
member access with adult files section or constituent member access? )
Send the check to:

	The Roman Catacombs
	15651 E. Caspian Cir. #203
	Aurora CO 80013

Note that more disk space will be added in the near future.  The goal is to
have over 1 gig of disk space before year-end.  Also, a CD-ROM will be added 
to the BBS system soon.
