The BBSNet UK EchoMail Network
==============================
BBSNet is the the first UK national network to operate in both the
mail formats currently used on Bulletin Boards.
BBSNet is available in FTSn (FidoNet) format and QWK style mail. All
other networks in the UK only operate in one of these formats, meaning
that if your BBS uses the wrong style you cannot join and your callers
get segragated from boards preferring the other format.
BBSNet is available to ALL bulletin board systems, PC based, Amiga
or Atari etc regardless of the software you use.
For more information, please log on to our BBS to see these conferences
in operation. From there, by accessing the Questionnaire menu, you can
also request a node number if you would like to join.
BBSNet is Hosted by Cellular BBS, 01604-757777 / 464647 but can be
seen in action on any of the boards listed in the file MEMBERS.NOD
This network is completely free and we do not seek any form of cash
or subscription.
This network is now available to absolutely ALL bulletin boards!
QWK Based Systems
=================
If you run a QWK based system such as Wildcat!, PCBoard, SpitFire etc.,
please look in the embedded archive: QWK_BBS.ZIP for useful batch
files to assist you with QWK mail transfers with the wcMAIL door on the
major hub systems listed below:
