           LIST OF STATIONS BBS



                   Coordinator of SpbZxNet


  Let's start with the fact that the list of BBS now
will be used only operate the station. No phrases such as 
"closed" and so on. 


  Big request to all the sysop who
at some time close: warn me about it. After all, it will be 
worse to you itself, because you, not me, will be

attack calls.


  Currently, the network has two
automatic equal gate:


      2:5030 / 2:5030 and 362.11 / 287.32


  Preparing to open Tornado station, but
have to try a new quality - as
host (HOST). This new concept, and it
stands for station network coordinator. " All of you probably 
already know that coming entry into the international SpbZxNet

Network ZX-NET, it's all from the opera ...


  But, I believe, due to some technical difficulties, it does 
not soon as we'd like. In any case,

not before Enlight'a 97.


  In the meantime, the "under construction" host Tornado
station (2:5030 / 312.58) earned almost
hell of a thing - a network robot.



        DESCRIPTION OF WORK NetRobot'a


  The robot works for fidoshnikov and
Point to any network or sysop
SpbZxNet, in short, to all comers.
Yet all the tests, so that a glitch
tell.


  Of course, for all users
SpbZxNet when writing queries to the robot
subject to the general rules of drawing letters in the
FidoNet. If you do not know - Ask your sysop.


  To send a request
NetRobot'u, you must write a letter to
at 2:5030 / 312.58, in the field "to:" provide
"NetRobot", in "subj" 's letter - click
for the robot, in the message body can be written in anything - 
everything will be ignored, but be sure that something must be 
written (for example: "Hello, Robot!"), because an empty email 
nailed ... 


         That the robot can do:


  1. Throws netmaylom for everyone fresh
Point-sheet network SpbZxNet.


  Team:

% Pointlist


  Immediately after the arrival of a request, you will be
sent a fresh point-sheet network SpbZxNet.


  Point-list is updated whenever the data on PostScript points 
to network nodes. Therefore, to expedite the process, we 
introduce a new registration procedure sysop their points. 
Following the issuance of pointovogo address, sysop immediately 
netmaylom wrote about it on the host, to Coordinator.



  Until such time as will be announced
transition to the new format SpbZxNet point-sheet of the 
current format: 

812/99.98 Petr Petrov Super puper group
812/99.99 Ivan Ivanov Super station


  Let's talk about how some
will look like the new format point-sheet.


                ---= =--
Boss, 812/99

Point, 95, Super_puper_stn, St.Petersburg,
Petr_Petrov ,599-9999, XTR, 2400

Point, 96, Super_group, St.Petersburg,
Ivan_Ivanov ,599-9998, VIC, 2400

Point, 97, User_Dima, Gatchina,
Dima_Figov,-Unpublished-, HAY, 9600


                ---= =--

  Before you - test the system point-sheet. More precisely, for 
you it is a trial, but in all world, the network FidoNet, it 
has long been recognized and widely used. 


  First, the necessary complement: description of a Point is 
made in one line, not two, with no spaces - all

spaces are replaced with "_" and the comma - is
separator between adjacent points.


  First comes the address of the boss. This is a separate
line. Then with the start of the line is a description of 
Point: One line - one point. The first figure - number of 
points on the boss. Then should be a small comment: if bbs'ka 
Point, he can prescribe it here title, or, for example, its 
pseudo or from what he group. Then - a city in which he lives 
point. Then his name and surname in English, then his phone - 
if not want your phone has been published,

write "-Unpublished-". The last two parameters - the 
description of the modem: type (XTR, VIC - Vicomm, HAY - Hayes) 
and speed. If your modem has a speed of above 9600, then all

still need to specify 9600.


  Between the thing we getting to close
very important issue: the transition network
SpbZxNet on fido-like addressing. A
namely, the introduction of the zone. This will allow without
too much difficulty to open the server to PCs
and also join in SpbZxNet people with
Only Hayes modems. Sooner or later,
driver under SMUC MAS'om will be appended, and
then the number of spektrumistov with Hayes
will increase by several times. After the introduction of
"Zones" are no problems with their appearance in
network will not occur. By my calculations, the transition to 
the new addressing will occur immediately after Enlight'a. He 
will be in that all currently existing addresses

through the colon will be added to a particular zone number. 
For example, it 812/01.00, and will 500:812 / 01.00. Were 
812/08.00, and will 500:812 / 08.00.



  Why, after Enlight'a? Because it was on Enlight'e finally 
resolved the issue of joining the international SpbZxNet ZX-Net.



  As you can imagine, such a structure point-sheet handy 
machine rather than people. So, gentlemen, encoders, necessary 
elementary utility that runs on the following principle: 
Entered file name with point-plate, and point-sheet will be 
placed in a convenient read form. In what - it is up to you. 
Can be done, such as in Golded'e, and can in some other way.



  However, back to the network to the robot.


  2. Gives the latest version of the Charter of the network
SpbZxNet and any application.

 Teams:

% Ustaw - all Charter network and all applications
% Ustaw_only - Charter without attachments
% Ustaw_rem - only the application of the Charter
% Rem_list - a list of available applications of the Charter

% Rem_1 - Annex No1 - Memo beginner Points
% Rem_2 - annex No2 - Rules for Letters to the Fidonet
% Rem_3 - Annex No3 - Memo beginner sysop
% Rem_4 - application No4 - to open and work with file-ehami
% Rem_x - application Nox, where x - application number


  4. The new "super-duper-mega-opportunity":
getting the freshest BBS_LIST'a! Most
last for the day of its editorial staff.

% Bbs_list


  5. "DownInfo". This command gives a brief summary of which 
closed stations on the reasons why they do not work, and

when they will reopen.


  Citizens sysops! If you want to
information on your station fell into
DownInfo, do not forget to send me any
her letter, or call vote.


  Team:

% Down_info


  6. General remarks.


  Robot can neither suspend nor fool - he's no fool. ;)


  However, attempts to messing with it does
good for you does not end.


  Answers NetRobot sends almost immediately
upon receipt of your request.


  Try not to strain the robot over trifles, do not ask him just 
Old so, having nothing to do, or say, for the sake of

test. By the way, if you want it "potestit" - use the command:

% Robot_test


  In response, you know the version number and a lot of
nice about yourself.


  For a brief HELP Command
robot type in sabzh:

% Help


        Enjoy your use.



  So in conclusion I would like to add that
Currently NetRobot sends point_list
only in the old version.


  Write to the Editor your comments and suggestions about what 
the robot would still be harnessed? 


  For example, you get it to send
any number ZxNews'ov, or, say, a network directory ZX-NET. 
Incidentally the last will soon be implemented. Or, for example,

some docks, the type scheme 'feature'
etc. E-mail, and together we will make ourselves
a robot which you want them. :)
