AmateurRadio Net(sm) Policy Document
|
||
====================================
|
||
|
||
As Of: July 1, 1995
|
||
|
||
Mission
|
||
=======
|
||
|
||
To provide a world wide forum to 1) discuss, 2) broadcast information
|
||
regarding and 3) disseminate shareware / public domain files relating to
|
||
Amateur Radio, SWL, Scanners, Citizen Band and other radio related
|
||
topics via a network of computer bulletin boards.
|
||
|
||
Overview
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
AR-Net is a low hassle network. The conferences are distributed via QWK
|
||
and FTS(FIDO) technologies. Fido distribution is done utilizing your
|
||
normal FIDO node number or our Zone 599 node number.
|
||
|
||
Members wishing to take distribution via FTS that are not members of
|
||
Fidonet can obtain a AR-Net node number from the Host System, or the
|
||
appropriate RC for their area.
|
||
|
||
The Rules
|
||
=========
|
||
|
||
1. AR-Net Administration is the only required conference. This is only
|
||
done to insure a channel of communication to every node in the net.
|
||
|
||
2. No profanity, name calling, hassling. It's a family style network
|
||
so if you can't play nice, take your toys and go home.
|
||
|
||
3. Mail runs must be done at least every other day. This will insure a
|
||
continuity in the message bases. (Provisions for over seas nodes will be
|
||
handled on an 'as needed' basis) Hubs must make mail runs daily.
|
||
|
||
4. Gateways to other networks must be approved in advance by the AR-Net
|
||
Network Host.
|
||
|
||
5. SysOps are responsible for the behavior of their users.
|
||
|
||
6. ARNxxxx Information Packet must be available for download on all
|
||
network nodes/hubs. Just to help spread the word.
|
||
|
||
7. Decisions on all matters of policy and network use will be made by
|
||
the AR-Net Network Host.
|
||
|
||
8. BBS Ads should be posted in the Ham BBS Conference Only.
|
||
|
||
9. The AR-Net Network, Network Host SysOp, Network Administrators, HUB,
|
||
or NODE SysOps will not be held liable for any claim for purchased items
|
||
usefulness or functionality.
|
||
|
||
10. Please do not post ANSI graphics in messages EXCEPT the Ham BBS Ads
|
||
Conference. Many users on the network are using computers that are not
|
||
ANSI compatible. ANSI graphic characters will look like line noise on
|
||
their screens.
|
||
|
||
11. Signature lines should be limited to two lines. Remember, a
|
||
signature line is an informative line - include some useful information
|
||
about you, your home QTH (city/state/country), and call sign. Every
|
||
Tagline should have a Network ID. Below is an example:
|
||
|
||
AR-Net: The Silicon Garden <20> Coram, NY <20> 516-736-6662 <20> N2HAA
|
||
|
||
Specific AR-Net taglines are NOT required.
|
||
|
||
12. The enforcement of these rules, as well as general "Common Sense" in
|
||
the conferences, is the sole responsibility of the conference moderators
|
||
and the AR-Net Host SysOp. Please do not interfere with the Conference
|
||
Moderators job. Do not take the law into your own hands. If you have a
|
||
complaint, criticism or gripe, send a netmail message to the conference
|
||
moderator or to John Woodstock.
|
||
|
||
13. The For Sale conference is for Ham Radio and Computer products. ALL
|
||
commercial notifications should be made in our DEALERS conference.
|
||
|
||
File Echoes
|
||
===========
|
||
|
||
Ham File Distribution Network:
|
||
|
||
The Network Host has the HDN available to FIDO nodes who do not have it
|
||
available locally. Contact either him or your AR-Net Hub if you are
|
||
interested in receiving the files.
|
||
|
||
The HDN is administered by Lee Laird.
|
||
|
||
AR-Net also offers local file echos for its members
