|
|
* The Ultimate Renegade Support network! Read on....
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is it?
|
|
-----------
|
|
Renegade Support Network (RGSNet) is an open, easy-going
|
|
message network devoted to the support of Renegade Bulletin
|
|
Board Systems. RGSNet has been in operation since
|
|
September, 1993. Our current member list exceeds 800 nodes.
|
|
Although Renegade is the most popular software used in the
|
|
network, any sysop is welcome regardless of BBS software.
|
|
|
|
|

What are the rules?
|
|
-------------------
|
|
1. You must use real names. This can be done in Renegade by
|
|
toggling the 'R'eal names flag to 'on' in all the RGSNet
|
|
message areas.
|
|
|
|
Exceptions: RGS_DOORS - Handles ok, must sign with Real Name.
|
|
RGS_CHAT - Handles ok.
|
|
RGS_BRE50 - Handles ok.
|
|
|
|
2. You must use a front-end mailer such as FrontDoor. I
|
|
suggest using FrontDoor v2.12 Noncommercial, but other mailers
|
|
such as Portal of Power, D'Bridge, and BinkleyTerm work fine.
|
|
|
|
3. All systems MUST be 300 baud or higher.
|
|
Sorry, no 110 baud here. :-)
|
|
|
|
4. Simple!
|

How do I join?
|
|
--------------
|
|
All you need to do is contact your local RGSNet node for the latest
|
|
InfoPack and Application Kit. Freq'ing "RGSNET" from any of the
|
|
following sites will also get you the latest RGSNet InfoPack:
|
|
|
|
USA West - Scott Freeman - 1:219/801
|
|
USA East - John Doran - 1:278/315
|
|
Canada - Vincent Vallee - 1:167/337
|
|
NZ/Australia - Wayne Knott - 3:772/390
|
|
Israel - Benji Selano - 2:403/652
|
|
|
|
Run the file APPGEN.EXE to automatically create a short text
|
|
file with vital information needed to apply. Once you have
|
|
completed the application, netmail the file created with your
|
|
information to your state host (preferably, if there is one),
|
|
or the Network Coordinator at 50:50/0, or upload it to
|
|
619-251-0609 or 619-251-1675, Alternate Reality BBS.
|
|
|
|
If you know your state host's address, please send the
|
|
application to that address, the turn-around time is
|
|
much quicker that way.
|
|
|
|
Once your application is reviewed, you will be sent a node
|
|
number and nodelist via netmail in ZIP form. Or, if you
|
|
cannot be reached via netmail, we will try our best to send
|
|
it via your BBS. Please allow 7-10 days for your application
|
|
to be reviewed and a new node number assigned (we receive
|
|
them almost every day and it is sometimes difficult
|
|
to keep up), please be patient.
|
|
|
|
* NOTE: You must be using a front-end mailer such as FrontDoor
|
|
to join RGSNet.
