           Can agree?


    Is it time to organize At least some
similarity network with simple rules like
for both users and sysops.
After using the new C-DOS can be
organize a good post!

    It is necessary for all of us to
protect against unauthorized access
our messagam. Among us is
Some comrades, that we, not
comrades. I think many realize whom
talking about?

    The rules are simple network (and not
you scared of the word) is not
complex. Just want to preserve
confidentiality of their correspondence to
take a BBS sysop liked the name
your mail file and password to access the
this file. And no one @ # $ would not be able to merge
Mail addressed to you. Of course, if you
do not tell anyone your password. This is the first
advantage, which give you a postal
files. The second advantage of the network: the reduction
your time spent on
obsharivanie BBS'ok in search of prog and
messag addressed to you. How?
If you threw in some BBS'ku messagu,
addressed to all (ALL), then you do not continue
need to call on all other BBS'ki and
upload them the same thing. It for you
do, be quiet! :) You can even
go ahead: you, say,
registered on some specific BBS
and got on her own, call it so,
mailbox. That's all you need.
Now your mail from all BBS will
merge only on this very BBS'ku on
you're constantly reading the logs and
which you have the best connection. Wrong
Do horrible word - registration? Even
information on programs that are on
OTHER BBS, you can learn from
a special information file
located on YOUR BBS'ke. So
better: to ruin your time and money
making calls to all BBS'ki a row, or be
just make sure that calling on their BBS'ku,
you will get all you
information about the network. In particular, this
As for users from other cities.

    All this, of course, primarily
depends on you, dear sysops. But if
someone likes to see their messagi in
bbsTOP - is another matter, and then you should not
offended by the editor "evil" publications.
Although, as far as we know it is not without
help some people make their TOP.

    Now about the external mail.

    Already, there is a real
ability to organize mail
other cities. Scheduled to open
Several BBS, which will be designed
to receive external mail. In this case,
no user registration, and protozoa
Rules for external networks can not do
in any way.

    What gives us this external e-mail and why
it is generally necessary? Everything in order.

    First, start with the fact that much
widen your circle of friends,
like-minded people who are not in principle
need to know in person. :) It still
since not all know each Minsk modemery
other in the face. And even more so what to say
of those who live in different cities. But
Despite this, there is ton living
communication between people.

    And in an organized external mail
will be possible to expand the circle of acquaintances in
other cities, not wasting at
long-distance phone calls. And
opportunity to get new software
products has increased markedly, as well as
will be able to create full-
program efforts of programmers from
several cities, to exchange
sources and for all without spending
All this is time consuming and expensive.

    To send a letter to another city
you can just write a letter
indicating the address of the recipient and
throw him into one of the e-mail sites
network (points). It will be possible even in
Many ZX-edition computer to send
his letter, or receive some
information on matters of interest to you
other cities.

    Of course, we should not forget that
that the organization of postal regime - is
deal strictly voluntary, based
primarily on the personal enthusiasm sisopov.
Therefore, the post should be constructed so
that the sysop was easier to work with her.

    Currently, the development of network
Rules of external mail is
final stage, and as soon as all
nuances associated with the addressing will
sorted out and discussed, then it will be possible
establish a full-fledged two-way communication with
other cities.

    It all depends on you, dear sysops!

    We welcome letters, proposals,
responses.

    Sincerely, creative
Newspaper MOVE.
