ABBSA-Net is a newly established network employed by the American BBS
|
|
Association for communication among members and distribution of the ABBSA
|
|
National Support Echo. In the past, this had been primarily accomplished via
|
|
the use of QWK mail packets. While QWK packet communication is still available
|
|
for messaging & echoing of the ABBSA National Support Conference, the process
|
|
is somewhat slow; requiring a log-on and use of of a mail door, which often
|
|
resulted in a lot of time and sizable long distance telephone charges.
|
|
|
|
Based upon the front-end mailer system (Front Door, D'Bridge, etc.), and on
|
|
Fido technology, the net allows the messaging & echoing functions quickly and
|
|
efficiently, and at mimimal LD cost.
|
|
|
|
The topography of the system is based upon Regional distrubtion, and filters
|
|
down to state and local levels.
|
|
|
|
The Primary Regions and the States/Provinces/Areas of Coverage are:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
To really make this network fly we are seeking Member Boards to take on the
|
|
responsibilities of Regional Coordinator, or State/Provincial/Area Hubs for
|
|
the areas which remain open. Applicants MUST be using a front-end mailer, and
|
|
also be willing and capable of providing QWK packets to those boards in their
|
|
respective areas which do not have front-end capability.
|
|
|
|
We consider the ABBSA-Net a top prority in supporting the ABBSA National
|
|
Support Echo, and as a major avenue for the essential flow of communications
|
|
and information between ABBSA Members which, in turn, strengthens the
|
|
organization as a whole.
