* Do you run WWIV? VirtualBBS? A QWK-only system? Not interested in dealing with the hassles of setting up a Fido-based network? * Want a network that has a Free FTP site for mail packet transfers? * Run OS/2 with VMODEM? Interested in picking up a new net - FREE? Then consider InfiNet. The International Freedom of Information Network is dedicated to providing an open forum for information interchange, a place where ANYONE may join (certain echoes age-restricted per Federal Law). With a TREMENDOUS selection of echos (currently well over 150) ranging from the incredibly mundane to the amazingly esoteric, InfiNet has something for EVERYONE to talk about - from technical to social; from computers to culture; from politics to music; from the controversial to the politically-correct; InfiNet is the ultimate alternative network. And, consider this: It's an OPEN TECHNOLOGY network. What does this mean? We support EVERY standard. If we do not presently support it, contact us, and we will look into ways so that we CAN support it. Current Supported Standards: * Fido-Technology (FTS). * QWK * WWIVnet * VirtualNet (Type-1) Currently In Development: * RoseMail / PostLink * World Wide Web Mail Packet Transfers * InfiNet Backbone Integrated into UseNet, Direct UUCP Mail Transfers * FTP Mail Packet Transfers * Automatic UUEncoded Internet E-Mail Mail Transfers * Direct IP Mail Transfer (Using OS/2 and Ray Gwinn's VMODEM) We at InfiNet are always searching for ways to improve the network, and conduct widespread recruiting campaigns throughout the U.S. and Canada. Advertising on every major message network in North America, we aim to expand, not stagnate. We encourage end nodes to recruit new systems on their own, extensively support our sysops in any new ventures, and allow massive user and sysop participation in adding new echos, removing old ones, moderating, and voting on implementation of any network changes. InfiNet is a truly interactive, open, friendly and intelligent experience, spanning the globe. In conclusion, if you are looking for an expanding, intelligent network with few restrictions, and an aggressive plan to move into the future with new technologies and standards, while still retaining strong ties to those of the past, feel free to read ahead. InfiNet - THE Quality Alternative Network. John Cropper InfiNet Administrator
