Hub systems serve as EchoMail collection and distribution sites.
|
|
Messages are deposited on a local BBS, then moved to a Hub system to
|
|
be later collected at the International Host. From there it is
|
|
distributed to other Hubs around the world.
|
|
|
|
The U'NI-net Management Team has adopted the following guidelines for
|
|
Hub and Hub-Candidate Systems:
|
|
|
|
OFFICIAL HUBS
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
1. May be removed by a majority vote of the U'NI-net Management Team.
|
|
|
|
2. At all times while authorized to redistribute U'NI-net Mail,
|
|
Hubs calling from inside the United States will complete a minimum of
|
|
two mail exchanges with the International Host system every
|
|
twenty-four hours, and make available all conferences. Systems outside
|
|
the United States will complete a minimum of one mail exchange with
|
|
the International Host each 24 hours, and will make available at least
|
|
30% of the U'NI-net conferences.
|
|
|
|
3. Will comply with all U'NI-net guidelines, and will not allow
|
|
node systems that refuse to comply with U'NI-net guidelines to remain
|
|
active.
|
|
|
|
4. Will read all messages in the UNI-HUB and UNI-USERS conferences, and
|
|
"YA" (Personal and addressed to "ALL") messages in the UNI-NET
|
|
conference.
|
|
|
|
5. Will conduct an inspection of all new systems prior to approving an
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
6. Will send completed application forms to the Recorder before new
|
|
nodes begin to echo mail, and instruct new nodes to send a message to
|
|
the Recorder in the UNI-Net conference when they begin to echo.
|
|
|
|
7. Will maintain a local, private administrative conference for connecting
|
|
member systems.
|
|
|
|
8. Will send a monthly list of active member systems to the Recorder.
|
|
|
|
9. Will not TCAN any user (User suspensions will be carried out by the
|
|
node Sysops. Node sysops who refuse to comply may have net status
|
|
revoked at the discretion of their Hub or the Network Host).
|
|
|
|
10. Will only admit systems from within their authorized territory,
|
|
unless it is by the permission of the Hub that services the territory
|
|
in question.
|
|
|
|
11. Will maintain a BBS system in reasonable working order, with the
|
|
following minimum hardware:
|
|
|
|
A. Minimum of two phone lines available to nodes
|
|
B. V.32bis Modems on at least two lines
|
|
|
|
12. May request donations from nodes to help defray the cost of
|
|
calling the International Host, but may not require them.
|
|
|
|
HUB-CANDIDATES
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
1. Will comply with all Official Hub guidelines, as well as
|
|
Hub-Candidate guidelines.
|
|
|
|
2. Will have access to UNI-HUB and may engage in discussion, but may
|
|
NOT vote.
|
|
|
|
3. Have a probationary period lasting three months, during which time
|
|
the Network Host, the Management Team, or the Hub-Candidate can
|
|
discontinue the relationship with reasonable notice.
|
|
|
|
4. Will be listed with the Official Hubs in UNIHUBS.LST.
|
|
|
|
5. Before the end of the probationary period, the Hub-Candidate must
|
|
admit no less than six active nodes. U'NI-net considers a node to be
|
|
active if it sends a minimum of thirty messages per month, and makes
|
|
daily mail runs to the Hub-Candidate BBS. The net must have the
|
|
minimum six applications on file, and the nodes must have sent a
|
|
message to the U'NI-net Recorder in the UNI-NET conference to be
|
|
placed on the UNIBBS.LST before the last day of probation.
|
|
|
|
6. After expiration of the probationary period, and successful
|
|
compliance with all guidelines, the Hub-Candidate becomes and Official
|
|
Hub with full voting rights.
