AccessNet is a relatively new net-mail network (Est. 4/10/91) that is comprised of two main areas: Conferences for all / Conferences for adults only! For a complete list of all conferences see ACCESSNT.LST Also - Please check with The ACCESS Network (Home Base of AccessNet) for the latest ACCNETxx.ZIP file. There may have been additions to the conferences... The number is (708) 967-8838. The purpose for creating AccessNet was simple! We believe that participating in net-mail should be one of the most fun and exciting parts of BBSg! There are many net-mail networks out there that are a nightmare to deal with! From the obnoxious to the primadanas, SysOps who don't care enough about their supporting nodes. Without the necessary support, setting up and maintaining a net-mail system can be a frustrating task. We, however, care about each and every participating BBS - whether they are a node, hub, or a regional hub! There are NO fees or dues that are required to become an AccessNet SysOp outside the current $50.00 for the PostLink software. AccessNet has 43 conferences that are for "everyone" and 13 "adult" conferences that are available to adults only! Having a total of 56 conferences is certainly not set in stone. We encourage all SysOps involved with AccessNet to make make suggestions for any new conferences. A vote will decide whether or not the conference should be added. By being an AccessNet SysOp, you have the right to decide which conferences you wish to carry! The exception, unfortunately, are those SysOps who are younger than 18. Those who are not 18 years of age may not carry the adult conferences. We are relaying our mail with PCRelay and PostLink Software. PCRelay support will end as of January 1st, 1993 to make room for the 100% improved PostLink software. Postlink currently costs $50.00 and may be purchased from either Larry Miller of The ACCESS Network (708-967-8838) or by contacting Bonnie Anthony of The Running Board BBS in Maryland... PostLink is probably the most versitile and user-friendly net-mail system available! It is set up as a door on your BBS... Not as a front door! Upon connecting with a BBS - one should not have to "hit escape" to log on! Most people who are calling a board are calling to utilize the BBS...NOT to transfer mail. As an internal door, PostLink will never annoy your users! Other features of PostLink include: the ability to send and request files, manage and maintain all mail transfers automatically, a built in communications program that can write your logon scripts, allows the handling of private mail without lengthy security ID's that have no meaning, all nodes have the ability to be a HUB built into the software!, allows you to add your BBS's Tagline, and many many other useful and needed features. PostLink was written by Kip Compton, author of PCRelay, for use by PCBoard BBS software; HOWEVER, there are many UTI drivers available for many different types of BBS software. As a result, we have a very diverse group of SysOps that relay AccessNet. AccessNet has recently merged with AdNet. AdNet is a International classified advertising network. For your callers - AdNet is a door that they can open to view any number of classified advertising screens. They can also purchase ads. Each time they purchase an ad through you -> that ad is sent throughout the network on every BBS - and the you, the SysOp pick up 40% commission! For the SysOp - AdNet is simply a means to easily transfer advertising screens for your AdNet door. AdNet (the door) was written by Chuck Valecek (King of the Board and others) and is $15.00 shareware. Please see the enclosed AdNet files for more information.
