                           SYSOP SPECIFIC RULES


  [IIRG-NET SYSOP RULES INTRO]


Welcome Sysop!

We are glad that you are interested in echoing IIRG-Net. A lot of effort
has gone into its creation. We are presently looking for Hubs and Nodes.

We want people who are going to help us reach our goal of bringing back
the underground to the quality that once existed. Though you need not run 
a large BBS to join us, we would like to know that you operate a quality BBS.
We want to run a top of the line network and to do that we need top of the 
line people.

Please read the rules, fill out the application and we'll be in touch
with you shortly. Thanks for your time.

 
                      Network Administrator
                         Mercenary/IIRG



 [IIRG-NET MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS]

Sysops who are interested in echoing IIRG-Net must fill out an IIRG-Net
application and upload it to the IIRG's World Headquarters System,
(The Rune Stone BBS) for review by the Net Administrator (N.A.).
Systems applying for access should have an answer within five working days 
from the receipt of the application, though most will be processed within 48
hours.

Before completing the application, all Sysops must read this file and the
IIRGUIDE.TXT in their entirety. Though IIRG-Net isn't a difficult net to
echo, the rules are important. Sysops echoing IIRG-Net are not only
expected to follow those rules, but to enforce them on their system as
well.

To apply for net access your system must meet these minimum requirements:


1. All users who can access IIRG-NET must be known to you or 
   verified via voice or verification door.

2. Your system must be accessible 24 hours a day - 7 days a week.

3. Your system must have been online for at least 6 months.

4. There must be no fees for echoing IIRG-Net. Either to a system or user.


 [IIRG-NET SYSOP RULES]

1. Nodes and Hubs must attempt to make a mail run at least once per day.

2. Nodes and Hubs must have a current IIRG-Net Info Packet available for
   download and must upload all applications to The Rune Stone BBS.

3. Nodes & Hubs must carry all user conferences as well as 2 private
   conferences.

4. No cross-linking of IIRG-Net conferences is allowed.

5. Hubs can deny access to IIRG-Net conferences to any user they feel is unfit,
   unless instructed to let them on by the Net Administrator.
   Also, any refusal to deny a locked-out user will result in the 
   Hub being dropped from IIRG-Net.

6. All net problems, ideas or complaints should be discussed in
   IIRG_ADMIN and not in the public conferences.

7. All IIRG-Net conference taglines should begin with  IIRG-Net .

8. Recurrent failure of the above rules will result in the offending
   Node or Hub being suspended or expelled from IIRG-Net.
