Welcome to the echo!
ZyXEL Echo Rules
This echo was established in 1992 for the purpose of discussing
ZyXEL modems. This discussion includes the entire ZyXEL family.
Discussion may also include compatibility concerns or problems
with other Modems, but only with relation to ZyXEL models.
The following Echo Rules are expected to be followed. Failure to
follow these rules may result in a request for your removal from
the echo:
1. The Official Language of the ZyXEL echo is English.
2. Only those messages directly addressing technical issues
related to the ZyXEL modem should be entered into the Echo.
This specifically means that the following types
of messages are not allowed:
a. Absolutely no advertising of any type. No For-Sale
advertising of used modems, no advertising for modem dealerships,
etc. No advertising of "Wanted" messages, as in want-to-buy a used
modem - use the other appropriate echos for this. If such messages
are present in the echo - PLEASE IGNORE THEM ENTIRELY! This is a
technically-oriented echo and all messages must be technical in
nature.
b. Absolutely no trivial or personal messages should be
entered in ZyXEL. Conversations between friends, having no
technical content are a violation of Echo Rules. Messages of a
conversational matter, not relating to the technical subject,
should be conducted via direct netmail and not via the ZyXEL Echo.
c. Absolutely no messages involving personal attacks,
insults or other topics intending to provoke, rather than to
discuss technical topics.
d. Absolutely no messages regarding any topic, if the
messages produced are not within the generally-agreed-upon,
technical standards for Echo Mail Specifications. Specifically,
Multiple Tear Lines, Multiple Origins, etc. may be considered
sufficient cause to request linkages to the echo be removed. In
the case of Echo Topology problems (e.g. "Dupe Rings", etc.) the
Moderators reserve the right to restrict access in order to
correct echo topology problems.
3. No parts of a message entered should be considered in
violation of one of the previous rules. For instance, no origin
lines or any message component should advertise for your modem
dealership, or to sell your old modem, etc.
4. No parts of the message entered should be excessive, or
particularly wasteful in verbage. Like in addressing, or BBS
naming, etc. This means specifically that your signature (e.g.
"-Honlin-") should not include multiple lines announcing your
BBS's capabilities, etc. A simple name and a simple address (if
required) and perhaps Telephone Number should suffice.
5. The use of your REAL NAME is ecpected at all times within the
ZyXEL echo. If for some reason you are on a BBS which forces or
otherwise doesn't allow you to change your name from an Alias,
then you MUST sign with your real name at the bottom of any
messages you enter. People feel more comfortable when dealing
with you, when they feel they know who they are talking with.
If your particular system of entry doesn't allow the use of your
real name, and you don't wish to sign messages with your real
name, then please don't participate in the ZyXel echo.
6. The gating or exporting of the zYxel echo to networks other
than FidoNet is permitted under the following conditions:
a. All of the ZyXEL Echo Rules must be followed.
b. All decisions and comments issued by the Moderators must
be followed, including requests to remove linkages, and/or
specific user's access.
c. All pertinent FidoNet rules pertaining to Echo Management
must be followed.
d. All messages returned back into the FidoNet EchoMail
system, must indicate a address of entry and/or location to which
private replies or comments regarding those messages can be
addressed.
e. If problems develop, and the source of the offending
messages cannot be localized, then the gateway to the other
network will have its access cut off.
7. Any questions, concerns, or appeals of Echo Moderation
should be addressed to the MODERATOR in private netmail.
8. The Moderator of ZyXEL is 'Honlin Lue;' FidoNet address
6:720/13, +886-2-322-5113. Any comments or complaints about
anything in the ZyXEL echo should be addressed to the moderator at
the address given. At no time are complaints or messages about
non-technical matters to be entered into the ZyXEL echo.
9. Co-Moderators of ZyXEL are occasionally appointed to help in
ZyXEL moderation. If messages are issued from a Co-Moderator, they
should be considered as if being issued from the MODERATOR in
terms of Echo Management. The Current list of Co-Moderators is
listed below:
Roger Chen, FidoNet Address 6:724/27,
Eric Cheung, FidoNet Address 6:700/19
Tyrone Horton, FidoNet Address 1:202/701.101,
-Honlin Lue-
MODERATOR the ZyXEL Echo.
