              An organization of sysops helping sysops 
                 
       

Sysop's TechNet is pleased to announce that we are fully equipped to handle a
large amount of nodes via the internet.  At our disposal we are utilizing the
TransX method of transporting mail, as well as WaterGate's MailTunnel feature
and FidoNet2Internet Mailer.  Beyond that, we are currently looking for
members who are willing to feed others via FTP and Vmodem, possibly BinkD as
well.

We currently have four internet hubs willing to feed people via the internet.
People can and will be fed via the internet (if they so choose) if there is no
one currently in their local calling area receiving the network.

We have had internet transport for Sysop's TechNet since day one, but only
recently have we begun to structure it in such a way that we can handle a
large number of nodes via our internet hubs.  The way things stand now, we are
ready to carry many new nodes, all across the globe.

To qualify for receiving STN mail via the internet, simply fill out an
application completely, answering those questions specific to internet
transport.  Forward it to stnapp@sh.worldgate.com or vdanen@accessweb.com and we
will take care of the rest.

We are also looking for more people willing to be internet hubs, using
whatever resources you have available to you.  We are specifically looking for
an FTP and a Vmodem hub, however.

Sysop's TechNet is growing at a rapid rate, and this is only our latest
venture in just another way to expand the network.  We are right now looking
for a strong european and asian base for the network; already Canada and the
US have accepted STN with open arms, but we are lacking in european and asian
nodes, and would more than anything like to reach those parts of the world.
If you are willing, and able, fill out an application and send it to us.  We
can have you setup within 72hrs and tossing new mail in the same timeframe.
