I have assigned you the FidoNet node number of 1:105/xx.  I will 
also assign you an Admin Hub for the NET105 echo conference and for 
your weekly FidoNews Newsletter.  More on that at the bottom of this 
message.  

    For Long Distance EchoMail you have a choice.  There are currently 
2 ways to get echomail in Portand.  Net 105 has an echomail fund that 
runs on a voluntary pay method.  You pay 5 dollars a month for your 
feed.  Payment is usually made at the monthly sysop meetings held on 
the 6th of each month in various locations around the city.  Notice of 
such meetings is given in the Net105/PdxSysop/and Announce echo 
conferences.  The other echomail program is called Cascade Echo Mail.  
This is a pay-to-play venture that requires monthly dues paid before 
you can receive echomail.   It also runs at 5 dollars a month (I 
believe).  To join the Net105 echo fund, netmail Scott Losli at 
105/334.  To join CEM, netmail Ken Zwaschka at 105/54.  

    Also please note that if you are NOT CM (Crash or Continuous Mail) 
and are planning on recieving EchoMail, you MUST make arrangements to 
pick up and recieve your EchoMail at some other time than ZMH...  

    I will be sending your weekly NodeDiff to you. If you have any 
changes to your nodelist entry, I must recieve then via NETMAIL prior 
to Monday at 1800 of the week that you wish the change to take effect.. 
ie: If you had wanted to change your BBS name in NodeLIST.214 
(published Friday August 2, 1991), I would have needed the information 
by Monday July 29th..  

    Please reply to me at 105/61 or 105/1000 to confirm receipt of this 
message, and for assignment of your ADMIN Hub.  If you have any questions, 
please feel free to ask me...

          Welcome to FidoNet!
