~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AnotherNet provides services not normally found on IRC networks.  It will
provide the user with; a NickServ to reserve an IRC nickname; a MemoServ
to send notes to registered AnotherNet users; ChanServ for registering
and managing your own channels; and an enhanced IRC server program for
effective network management, Hacker.

AnotherNet is accessed the way other IRC networks are.  That is, using
your client software, simply enter the server name and port number,
connect, and you are on AnotherNet IRC

For more detailed information as to how an IRC network operates, and the
commands used while logged into irc, see the undernet faq, posted weekly
to the newsgroup *news.answers* on usenet.  See also the IRC primer
posted periodically to *news.answers*.

To access the help functions for each service type in the necessary
command.  For example, to register your nick, type in
/msg nickserv help.  The commands available to you will
appear in your status window.  From there, type in /msg
nickserv help <topic> to register your nick, or modify its use.

To register a channel, you should type /msg chanserv help to receive
the command list for the registration function.  For help
on each topic, type in /msg chanserv help <topic>.

Using MemoServ is done the same way as the nickserv and chanserv.  For
help on MemoServ's use, type in /msg memoserv help.

If you have a complaint regarding the service on AnotherNet, send email
to: [email protected].

If you need help while online with AnotherNet, you will usually find an
IRC Operator in #thecafe.  If you do not find an IRC Operator online to
help you, email to:  [email protected].  You will receive a timely answer
to your question(s).

With all services on AnotherNet, abuse is not tolerated.  Any
heinous abuse will be replied to with a k-line from the
entire network and an email to the offending user's system
administrator.  This means you will be banned from the entire network;
your internet service provider, network operations center, or system
administrator will be notified of your activities.

If you wish to submit other questions regarding the operation of
AnotherNet, email [email protected] with your request for
comment.
