Hello, CINDY!

I've been on local Cit boards for a little while, but I'm new to
FIDOnet, BTW.

A girl friend told me that FIDOnet is good for more in depth "stuff". Obviously because of the ability to collect ones' thoughts before
posting (What with OLRs and such compared to "at the moment"
offerings). I agree.

You are not limited to OLR's to access Fidonet. Here are some instructions
on how to use your favorite NEWSREADER to read Fidonet echomail:

=======================================================
Read and Post to Fidonet Message Echoes From Your Favorite NEWSREADER. =======================================================

Use your EXISTING
Outlook Express
Forte (Free)Agent
S & H News Rover
Mozilla Thunderbird
Others ...

* From Anywhere

* No Massive Message Control Lines

* Messages Are 100% Pure Fidonet, Are NOT Gated To Or From Internet
Newsgroups Or Other Networks.

To GET STARTED....

[1] Configure your newsreader (or Internet Explorer too!) to point to:

hub2000.darktech.org

[2] Use port 10119

[3] No logon (no name, no password) required! Just setup anonymously.

Then try it! If you followed the instructions properly, your newsreader
will automatically list the following newsgroup:

+GETACCESS+

The +GETACCESS+ newsgroup contains further instructions on how to complete
your setup
and registration with the BBS.
