                The International Network, Introduction. 

   Please read this information carefully, it's mend for your information,
   and how to become a node, Hub or even Host in this widley spread TacoNet.

Dear SysOp,

We thought that we have to send you this information, and thank you that you've
made the time to read it.

The TacoNet is Founded in Amsterdam, Holland, Europe, first as a Spitfire BBS
Support network, but after a few months we noticed that SysOp's from other
BBS Systems where also interested in our net.

In the past we started out as a QWK network, but after we changed to Fido-Style
the amount of BBS's wich joined our network was great, and even today they are
still joining the network, we have connections all over the world, but Europe is
the biggest part of the nodelist at the moment.

We're always looking for new Node's, and hope that you will join our network
after reading this file, here are some reasons why you should decide to join:

 New Node's in country's wich are not yet connected to the TacoNet, will
  receive the HOST status and can create HUB's and Node's as much as they
  want, the HOST of a region is completly free to add node's and provide
  nodenumbers.

 The same goes for SysOp's in Holland, in case you connect to the network,
  and you're the first System in the provence where you live in, you also
  become a Region Host for you provence, and can also add as many HUB's nad
  Node's as you like, you're also free to do with your regio segment what you
  like.

 TacoNet import the latest Spitfire Support file's from the US of A, they will
  be placed in the TacoNet Filesnet (see: Tacofile.net).

 TacoNet Gates the SPITFIRE and FREEMAIL Fido conference's into it's own net,
  and is also responsible for collecting and forwarding them into Fido Europe.

 Every SysOp connected to the network is invited to hatch files into the net,
  there are allready some systems wich do so automaticlly with files wich are
  uploaded to their own system, in this way, uploaded file's will be spread for
  your BBS Users the easy way.

 We have almost no rule's except for the few named in TACONET.RLS, we have the
  simple opinion that everyone can decide for himself ho far he or she can go in
  the messagebase's.

 TacoNet is one of the few networks wich carry's conference's in French, German
  English, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, easy when you want to train your
  writing, or when you are a native speaker wich live's in an other country.

 As far as we know, TacoNet is the only network wich gate's Packet radio mail
  on a regular basis, we wrote software wich make's it able to exchange mail
  with Packet Radio Stations in Holland, in this way foreign Amateurs are
  able of exchanging mail with Holland !

 The TacoNet Boss is a 28800 Bps system and several other Hub's do have a
  a VFC modem, so that file- and messagetransfers are FAST.

 Playing the BRE international Inter-BBS Game against users at BBS's at
  other country's!

  written door, updates send through the net!

This is the information that we wanted to share with you, you're completly free
to do with it what you want, in case you're interested, please fill in the form
