                  -- QWK Help & EveryOnesNet Setup --


Thank you for your interest in EveryOnesNet! 

EveryOnesNet is a QWK-based net.*  If you are new to QWK nets and how to 
transfer mail, the info below will help you out.

For the purposes of this help file, we are using Tower of London BBS, a
WildCat board, as an example only.  There are other hubs and may be other
types of BBS software that will hub.  This file serves only to give you an
idea of what to do, and many of the basics will apply in other cases.

*[We will have FIDO-type hubs in the near future!]

----------------------------------
Your First Hub LogOn (As Yourself)
----------------------------------

   Log on to Tower of London using your usual name etc. Leave a message
   to the sysop introducing yourself and your board and that you would
   like to have a separate NETMAIL status account set-up so you can join
   our net. Please attach the short application file you find in this
   packet entitled EVERY1S.APP to your message.  (After writing your
   note, hit escape then "T" to add an attachment, type in the file
   name and then upload.  After you upload hit "S" for save. Your message
   and your file attachment will have been sent to us. 
   
   Please give us a few days to validate you and set up your account, 
   although you may be set up in 24 hours. If not, as said, please then
   give us a few days. We will set you up as soon as possible. Call back
   under your real name and password you logged in as originally.
   If all goes well--and it should--your regular name will be set up as
   a Visiting Sysop account and a second account will be setup under your
   board name for Net mail pickup and delivery. A note will be waiting
   for you notifying you of this.

--------------------------
Your Hub First LogOn under 
your NetMail Security
--------------------------

   **The following assumes for the moment you are logging into 
   Tower of London BBS or another WildCat 4.x board as your hub**

   Once your board status is active, log on, go to the Message Menu area, 
   selects "U" Update Conferences....Here pick those conferences from the 
   EveryOnesNet list that you wish to echo on your board.  After you are 
   through with that select "T" to take you into the WC-Mail (QWK Mail) 
   program.

   Once you are there you will need to select "Y" to configure your 
   settings, your protocol, your archive packer, etc.  Be sure to NOT
   ask for your personal mail in the config.  Leave this the default. 
   "Do you want your own mail to be downloaded in the packet?" "NO!"
   (Otherwise future mail you send us will be AGAIN sent to you and 
   BOTH of us will end up with duplicate mail.)  
   
   When you have finished with your selections and return to main menu of 
   TomCat you will be ready for your first mail run. 

   By using an "!" before your name at logon will allow you to bypass all
   initial welcome screens and take you directly to the QWK door.
     
   eg: !Omega BBS (password)
   
------------------
Mail Packet Export
------------------

   This is a very crucial and important step to keep duplicate           
   messages from being sent into the HUB system (T.O.L. BBS).
   When you are ready to upload replies to us please be sure to 
   download your mail first.  After you have downloaded your 
   replies then proceed with your upload of your .REP packet.

** Remember: First Download, THEN Upload to avoid duplicate mail **

  
-------
Aliases
-------

   Some of you may have a BBS that uses Alias's as your standard way of
   operating--most Renegade boards and Oblivion boards do, most WildCat
   and PCBoards tend not to.  Please adjust your conference settings to
   reflect the rules of EveryOnesNet.  Simply stated the bulk of EveryOnesNet 
   conferences use real names.  Aliases will only be accepted in those rare
   conferences that are specifically mentioned being aliased.
