Membership Application
======================

You are now making an application for membership to this bulletin board. You will be asked a series of questions. Failure to answer any of them completely and accurately could result in your application being rejected.

The SYSOP will approve or reject your application, usually within 24 hours.

A brief explanation of the questions:

First, enter your full name (first and last). Enter it first name followed by a space and then last name (e.g. "John Doe" or "MARY SMITH"). Middle initials are not needed.

Next, enter your location. This is where you will be recorded in the user log as calling from each time you log-in. Enter this as city followed by a comma and then the state (e.g. "Miami, FL" or "NY, NY").

After that is your phone number. Enter this as XXX-XXX-XXXX (e.g. "305-737-1590" or "111/222-3333"). Applications that do not include phone numbers cannot be approved. In the event of a security breach, we need to know where and how to reach you by voice.

Next is the password you would desire here. Enter between 1 and 10 characters that you will use as your permanent password. Be sure and remember this password, because it will be required the next time you log-in.

The last item is your desired file transfer protocol. If your terminal package, for example, supported XMODEM protocol, you would select that. For further information on these protocols, use the "I" command on the file transfer menu. Do not be overly concerned with this parameter, because this can be altered by the "O" command on the main menu at any time.
