                 Information Package - Februrary 1993
                 ====================================


   The premise behind LostNet  is to setup a  network for the distribution  of
 Echos and related information that pertains to nothing but users having  fun.
 I belong to several different networks and was thinking it would be great  to
 have one network that would focus  on *FUN* instead of having to  participate
 in several different networks.  This is  an attempt to pull together for  the
 first time one message base just to  have fun and without the hassle of  most
 rules.  Many already have an Echo or two that they read but for the most part
 the distribution of those Echos are very limited.  With LostNet it will  take
 you back to the days of just having fun.

   Preliminary discussions (both voice and net-mail) with 1000's of users have
 indicated interest in this project.  Permission to distribute Echos have been
 received from most networks that all have dumb guide lines.  This is a  brand
 new Echo only a limited number of  Board have been contacted thus far to  see
 if there is interest to support  our undertakings.  In addition we only  have
 one thought in mind.  JUST TO HAVE FUN!

   Sysops  have  been  contacted  and  thus  far  I'm pleased to report a 100%
 favorable  response  when  asked  if  they  would  carry the LostNet Free4All
 conference and participate.  We are encouraged with the initial response  and
 have decided that it will indeed be lot of fun so we are proceeding with  the
 formation of LostNet.

   There are many general message Echos (almost every network has one) but the
 specific Echos are  limited by rules  and that takes  away the fun.   What we
 seek to do is  pull together the specific  Echos and offer them  to any sysop
 that wants to  be a part  of this network.
