 Well, I finally wrote this article.
Actually, it should have been written to
17th numberLPRINT'a, but due to technical
for some reason (I burned my Z80) I didn’t have time
write it. I want to warn you right away that
all thoughts expressed in this article are mine
and only my personal opinion.               
   In the ninth issue of the newspaper MOVE was
the topic of creating a full-fledged
no network on SPECCY. And in the near future
the third sysop meeting is due to take place
city of Minsk, in order to discuss this
question. And on the eve of this event I re-
I wanted to express my opinion on this matter,
so that you think about my thoughts and highly
expressed their opinion (preferably on the page)
tsakh MOVEorLPRINT'a, since others are from
Denmark, in my opinion, is called modem
only because they are distributed through
ZX-Net, and accordingly not very much
interested in creating a network).          
   The introduction is over and it's time to move on
to the main thing.

affairs Ars at first did not take part at all
ties in the discussion and only after a couple of hours
joined the discussion.  And then
he expressed an idea that we did not pay attention to.
til attention, but in vain:(. Its meaning was
that first you just need to agree
about exchanging mail between servers, and only then
it will be possible to talk about creating a full-fledged
noy network. And here is my proposal.          
   Each server is assigned an address
consisting of two digits, for example, FATALITY
BBS - 00, HAMER BBS - 01, FASA BBS - 02 and
etc. And the user who wants to get his address
calls the sysop of the server on which he
wants to receive an address, and the sysop assigns
give him his serial number. For example, some
Vasya and Petya, registered on FATALITY
BBS have addresses 00.01 and 00.02 respectively
Actually, the address itself is 00.00. And not-
cue Tolya, registered on HAMER BBS,
has an address of 01.01. Accordingly, all personal
mail files addressed to Vasya
should have the name #00.01 and be sent whenever
features on FATALITY BBS, files address-
new ones to Pete, have the name #00.02 and are also filled with
are barked to FATALITY BBS, and the files are addressed to
nye Tole, called #01.01, and are sent
on HAMER BBS. I hope you understand everything
the above. But if you want to send
letter to Tolya, but you have no connection with HAMER
BBS, then in this case you upload the file,
with the name #01.01, to any other server and
everything. The sysop must do the rest. If
he has a connection with HAMER BBS, then he himself
sends this file toHAMER BBS, but what if
there is no connection or Hamer not on that day
works, then this file is sent to like this
called mail server (If I'm right-
I understand correctly, it is called a HUB server)
This server must have a good connection with
all other servers in the city of Minsk and
work daily. On the HUB server must
receive all mail files and files I have
containing the phrase 2_All in its name,
4_All, >All and the like, thrown
users to your server. The sysop sends the
some files to the HUB server and at the same time
downloads files addressed to users from it,
registered on his server, and that’s it
files named 2_All, 4_All, >All, etc.,
which he doesn't have. After that he downloaded
uploads a file with the type name to the HUB server
#01_o.k., meaning that the sysop HUB-ser-
Vera can remove address files from the disk
valid for users whose address begins with 01,
and located in the directory above the file with
name #01_o.k. (higher because after
Hamer'and someone can call the HUB server
something else and upload a couple more files,
users registered on HAMER BBS).
Also, users and sysops will have to
some rules to follow:            
 - there can be only one address!  Prohibited
is being discussedregistration with issue of address to
other servers.                          
   - duplication of emails is prohibited
files on other servers. You must zaki-
upload a mail file to only one server!
   - users are prohibited from calling HUB-
server. They have the right to call only
SysOps!                                   
   - it is not advisable for the user to disclose his pa-
role for downloading mail files (see.
description CDOSv1.32 vMOVE#10) to another user
ru.                                       
   - The sysop does not have the right to use in-
formation taken from mail files address-
not for him personally!                       
   These are, in my opinion, the basic rules,
which all users must comply with
and SysOpam. But every sysop can enter
your server additional rules, not
contradictory to the main ones.                  
   Well, about a small drawback.  If you
registered on HAMER BBS, but called
on FATALITY BBS and found a postal address there
file addressed to you, then you do not download it
you can :(. In this case you will have to
wait until it is sent to HAMER BBS. But
if you are not satisfied with it, then do not use it -
enjoy the postal mode, but then don’t mind
complain if you see your message anywhere
be in bbsTOP'e or NEXT :).              
   This is the way I propose to organize
call the postal regime in Minsk. If you have
If you have any other ideas or comments, please write
in MOVE or LPRINT, or you can just
send a message with your thoughts to my ser-
ver, calling it NET***** (*-any symbols).
    P.S. As you probably already know at
FATALITY BBS and MECONG BBS have already started
giving postal addresses.
