   Hello to all normal users ZXNet!


   As you already know in our network last week was first
password is entered. This measure was not adopted by a good 
life. And what same? Password, despite the warning on 
confidentiality was distributed over the network in some freak 
in an open file. 


   Baby! You play with fire! Unplug your modem, and soon his 
zasun Well ..! If we do you calculate (compute and necessarily) 
then we take the most drastic measures from the fact that post 
the address and phone number and ending with the fact that the 
PBX will disable a number. 


   Now about network security: the password in connection with 
the unconscious behavior of individuals, will be a time split. 
Namely: the receipt of this issue of the newspaper every Sysop 
or group of stations ZXNet set your own password and make it 
available only to its users. Thus, because of one idiot, 
temporarily, users will be able to work only with the BBS, 
which has given them a registration number. 


   In a mail regarding this will not affect the efficiency of 
postal services, as ZXNet in a "mail hour" and sysops 
themselves each work in manual mode. For serious users, it will 
not be a special disadvantage because they call only one of 
"their" station. 


   This measure is a kind of warning to all. Split the password 
will again be changed to one after some of the activities in 
the network. Some stations will be separated, some users - lack 
of network addresses. Got Game, as they say. 


   ZXNet - a network of information, rather than Freestuff 
igrodrom. This is a reminder to respect certain "yuzersky 
sisopov" non- ZXNet. They are publishing a schedule of his BBS 
in ONLINE, whole nights, during working hours of their station, 
"hang" on the network server ZXNet. These individuals, at times 
and impart information waste. Naturally, the users can not 
reach them, because they themselves to the full call. 


   We discussed the option of closing time of all stations
network for a week in protest against the lawlessness of 
idiots. But he was temporarily rejected due to the fact that at 
several stations is a very intense exchange of e-mail and in 
relation to customers it would be dishonorable. 


   That's up to you:


   - Each station or group of stations independently and 
immediately enter their personal password; 


   - Solved the question of secession from a network of some 
stations and users;



   Apologize in advance for some temporary minor inconvenience 
to the Subscriber on behalf of the ZXNet.
