About ILink

WHAT MAKES ILINK STAND OUT FROM THE REST?

There are many echomail networks and each has its own unique flavor.
ILink gives a unique character by the belief in hosted conferences.
ILink conferences are actively hosted and suitable for a general
audience. X-rated discussions, profanity nor flames permitted.

HISTORY OF ILINK

ILink began in February of 1986 with a small group of sysops, an
innovative programmer (Mark Herring, developer of the QWK format), and
a single conference. The original network was called PCB-Echo, later
evolving into InterLink, and streamlined to ILink.

FEED TYPES AND TRANSPORT METHODS AVAILABLE

QWK: via Dialup, Telnet, FTP, and HTTP
FTN: via Dialup, FTP, Email and Binkp

               APPLYING FOR ILINK ECHOMAIL NETWORK

APPLYING FOR MEMBERSHIP

When a sysop applies to join ILink, a review is made of the applicant's
BBS policies, message traffic, stability, capabilities, and overall
quality. This review is carried out quietly by the ILink BBS
Administrator. On approval, the BBS is admitted as a trial member for a
60-day period, and is assigned to a host system for mail transfers by
the ILink BBS Administrator.

More details concerning the policies governing ILink are contained in a
file called ILDoc. Upon acceptance, additional documentation to assist
you in setting up ILink will be provided.
