Greetings! Welcome to AmigaNet 

Many of you may be wondering what AmigaNet is and what it is about. Simply
put, AmigaNet is the Amiga Network. It is dedicated to the support of the
Amiga as a business as well as home computer. The idea is to provide support
on all fronts to all users. This is done via the transmission of messages
across the network. We have many other projects in the works including an
online magazine for sysops.

AmigaNet is a very young network. We are still very much in the first stages
of developement. We still need people to fill in various positions, such as
Regional and Net Coordinators. We also need writers for the various articles
to be carried by the online magazine. As you can see, you will get out of
AmigaNet what you put in. It is through everyone's efforts that this Network
works.

This network exists in the form of Zones and Regions. AmigaNet for North
America is Zone 40. There are currently nine Regions in existence for Zone
40. These Regions are in the following form...

Region 1: Eastern  Time Zone United States
Region 2: Central  Time Zone United States
Region 3: Mountain Time Zone United States
Region 4: Pacific  Time Zone United States
Region 5: Eastern  Time Zone Canada
Region 6: Central  Time Zone Canada
Region 7: Mountain Time Zone Canada
Region 8: Pacific  Time Zone Canada
Region 9: Mexico

Other Regions may be added on an as needed basis.

Anyone desiring to be a member of AmigaNet must FREQ (file request) a copy
of the current policy and the nodelist. The current Policy may be FREQ'd by
the magic name AMYPOL. The current nodelist may be FREQ'd by the magic name
AMYLIST. People desiring to be members must then locate their proper Region
and request the file AMYAPP.TXT, magic name AMYAPP. Complete AMYAPP and send
it to the proper Net or Regional Coordinator. AMYAPP may also be FREQ'd from
1:106/365, if the proper Net or Regional Coordinator can not be determined
by the requesting system. For convenience, AMYAPP will be enclosed at the
end of this file. Murphy's Law BBS (1:106/365) is the Texas NC/NEC for
AmigaNet, so if you are located in Texas I will be the one you need to apply
to to receive your node number.

As I mentioned earlier, AmigaNet is still very young. We are a small and
friendly Network operated by amateur Amiga Computer enthusiasts. As such,
the petty arguments and hassles found on the larger Networks don't exist.
AmigaNet believes strongly in the fact that ALL computer users are equal.
Everyone has their own right to their own opinion. Arguments and or the
slamming of someone just because their idea is different will not be
tolerated by the users of AmigaNet. In other words, keep it friendly.

Below is the aforementioned AMYAPP. Please use any standard ASCII editor
and clip this file on the dotted lines.

AmigaNet Node Number Application

NOTE: Before filling out this application, be sure to secure copies of
AMYPOL and the current AMYLIST.  The AMYLIST will provide information
that will help answer the BBS System questions below.

1) Fill out the following form completely.  Incomplete forms will not
   be processed.
   Aliases are not allowed as Sysop Names, and home phone is required.
2) Rename the file to LASTNAME.APP, where LASTNAME is your last name.
   Example: BAKER.APP                                 ****
            SMITH.APP
3) Netmail a msg to your Net or Regional Coordinator with the file
   LASTNAME.APP included as a file-attach.
4) You're all done!  The information will be processed within seven
   days, and if the information is complete and the application accepted,
   you will receive your net/node number via Netmail.  Please be sure that
   your system is running during National Mail Hour, which is 4am-5am EST
   (AmigaNet does NOT observe Daylight Savings Time).
