BBS DESIGN
You will want a catchy name for the BBS. Don't use trademarks any-
where in the name, or you will get sued.
You should make sure that your address (P.O. Box) is easily found in
the BBS so that making contributions is easy. You should include the
following in your log-on information screen:
BBS Name, BBS Phone
Number (+ area code)
BBS Mailing Address (P.O. Box), Your Name, or Business Name
BBS Hours, Baud Rates &
Modem Info
Protocol, Info, Time, Limitations
Number of Lines, Other Available Phone Lines
What Line User Is On, Any Networks
BBS Policy, Statement, Location
this computer ONLY to the BBS. You can't use
it for anything else. If you use the computer, it will disconnect the line
you have connected for incoming calls.
This information will probably take up about 2 screens, but don't
worry. The only people who will need to read the information are first-time
users. They will read it because they want to find out about the BBS.
BBS POLICY.
Put simply, your policy will just let people know what your BBS is
about. This will determine your users. Always make sure that your policy is
easy to find. Don't be afraid to change your policy in the event that you
find a better way to work the system. You will need to state such things as
how to gain online credit, etc. As you go along, you will find more things
you want to add.
Cheap Wholesale Laptop site
You should buy the best and fastest modem that you can afford. Many
of the modem companies will give a discount to sysops, so you will not have
to pay a whole lot for the modem.
PHONES
You can have more than one phone line for your BBS without having to
pay for a business line as long as the line is non-commercial; that is, the
line is not used for business. You shouldn't put your voice phone number on
the BBS anywhere. People will call you at all times of the night wanting to
ask you questions, etc.
If you want to allow people to send contributions, (YOU WILL) and
send comments and questions, then you should set up a Post Office Box. NEVER
give out your home address. That would allow a thief to find out where they
could pick up several thousand dollars worth of software and hardware.
