   Greetings to all readers ON-LINE!


   06/29/1996 Council held system operators ZXNet.


   Despite the rain, the Council was quite fun. The result: 
drank a few liters of beer (none of sisopov not drink PEPSI!) 
Oboss ... neighborhood subway station Izmailovskaya, arrived 
and was not carried out a proposal for the destruction by 
marking time for kartrizhey DENDY from local merchants in the 
wholesale market, adopted a new charter network and, 
simultaneously, was recalled from the old statute. 


   I must say that there have been fundamental changes in the 
addressing system in order of user access to resources, e-mail 
stations. 


   What to do, the network develops and the life dictates its 
own terms. All global changes were introduced with the advent 
of network makes it possible for bullies. So if you, dear 
users, now consider yourself somewhat restrained, then thank 
them. In Anyway, if you are angry at some of the innovations, 
the We can, over time, to tell you - because someone

you are tormented.


   By decision of the Council, all innovations will be 
implemented gradually over one to two weeks. 


   The new text of the Charter of the network, you can find 
almost any BBS network.



   1. From now on every user if he wants to access
to any station, network, must call the voice system
operator and get a (personal) a password which will be 
different at different stations. Ie if you want to work with 
three stations, you will have three different passwords. 


   Passwords will be different for different users. Ie each
Users will set a different password from the password for 
another user. At each BBS, each user will have different 
passwords. 


   Thus, the system operator has the ability to disable 
specific users from their station, without detriment to other 
users. And if someone has come under a different password, will 
be off the master password, because password will only know it 
and sysop. Do not give your passwords to third parties! 


   2. List of BBS network, you can get almost all
existing stations ZXNet.


   3. Please note that the amended order addressing!
New addresses, users can contact the operator of its site after 
07.14.1996 year. Now the address can not be in this If you have 
access to the stations, but will not be able to use the network 
to send veashey mail. 


          A brief clarifications of the new system:


   I. System operator.


   1. Writes for each server disk first file in the directory 
notebook MEMWR, and include it in the list of confidential 
files. 


   2. When installing the server must be enabled SELECT
USERS. Thus, even in the QUICK-mode, no stranger to
station does not fall.


   3. User registration is performed in a clean phone
book, but instead the phone is put personal password (useful 
the first three digits of the password to make "100" or the 
first digit of a password to do the "6", whereas in case of a 
Autodialer the server can be completely relaxed). The password 
is reported to the user. 


   4. Users can be allowed to the station and without assigning
his power numbers. Network number given a sysop, in his 
discretion, based on the actual need of the user through a 
network of correspondence. 


   5. Since the notebook is not enabled by phone number, and a 
password, I recommend to use version of C-DOS does not 
FANTOMASSOFT, and ROBERTa (more stable, and caller ID works.) 
Not believe rumors, a version with a turbo-loader works

no better and no different from the old.



   II. User.


   1. Ring up the system operators stations to which it wants 
to access, receive a personal password and stores it anywhere.



   2. When connecting to the station ZXNet, instead of your 
phone number substitutes personal password received at the 
station. 


   3. Network address of the user is only on one particular 
station. 


   Besides the need to substitute your password each time 
instead of a phone number, no inconveniences are no longer 
appeared. 



   All the innovations do not infringe the rights of network 
users. This version of the long-practiced on other platforms 
(there are not advised to register at different BBS under one 
password). 


   Do not worry and do not rush, you have the time!


P.S. The next Council sisopov ZXNet convened on Sunday,
07.14.1996 years in the same place and at the same time. On the 
agenda three questions:

                    Sincerely,
