SYSOPS:
If you are operating a public access CP/M computer system
with an XMODEM or YMODEM protocol file transfer facility for the
exchange of public-domain software and data and would like to be
entered on the listing file circulated to systems around the
world, then you should send a message to either:
Ian Cottrell (author of the list)
Information Centre RCP/M
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
(613) 952-2289
(613) 829-1650 (voice)
(use the KMD RP option)

NOTE: If it is inconvenient or expensive to contact one of the
above, then mail your update information to:
Ian Cottrell
44 Lindhurst Cres
Nepean, Ontario, Canada
K2G 0T7
The message should include the following information:
a. Your system's name. For example: Joe Blow's RBBS, Home
Town RCP/M/CBBS. Scan the list and pick an original!
b. Your System's area code and phone number. If your system
is available thru PC Pursuit, let me know.
c. Your location. (City and Province or State).
d. Sysop's name.
e. Hours of operation.
f. Modem speeds supported.
g. Your on-line storage capacity. (Total, in Mb).
h. Hardware and BBS software used.
i. Special features and interests, hardware notes, etc.
j. Restrictions. (Fee charged, "first-time" restriction,
etc.).
NOTE: The combined text for items (i) and (j) should fit into two
75 character lines. If this size is exceeded, the text will
be edited to conform to the desciption format now used.
Below is a template for RCP/M list entries. Your update file
should follow this format.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
System Name Location (city) Mdm Speed Phone Number
Sysop's Name Hrdware & BBS Sftware Hours Size Date
Description of system (up to two 75 character lines).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EVEN IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON THE CURRENT LIST, please send
this information if anything is missing, incorrect or has been
changed. You should also send the information occasionally just
to confirm that you are still up and unchanged. If you discover
that another system has come up or gone down, it would be greatly
appreciated if you would pass the word along to any of the
systems listed above, so that I can keep the list as up-to-date
as possible. Also, pass this document on to new Sysops.
Note: It is better if you send a file with the information about
your system using KMD or XMODEM, since is it easier to pick up
files rather than messages and the error-checking will prevent
errors in the phone number or other data. Use .DOC or .UPD or
your area code as the filetype. Using your areacode will make it
easier for the list editor to add updates.
System operators of recognized systems may obtain free
access to the Sysop RCP/M Detroit (a passworded clearing house
for system operators that carries the latest software). To
obtain access to this system, you must be running a significant
system, the existence of which will be verified.
To gain access to Sysop RCP/M, the National Remote System
Clearinghouse, you must first obtain a password. This may be
done by either:
(1) Calling Technical CBBS RCP/M ([313] 846-6127) and
leaving a note on the system as you exit the MINICBBS
message system (use the 'G' for Goodbye, and it will
then allow you to leave a note to Dave Hardy, the
Sysop), or
(2) Call Dave Hardy (voice) at CDP Corp. at (313) 846-1055
Mon-Fri 11AM-7PM. This is the preferred method and also
the fastest.
Be sure to also include your choice for your password for using
the Sysop RCP/M. Please make your password at least 6 characters
long (maximum of 20, no ";", "$" or "," characters please) and
don't use anything obvious.
***DO NOT LEAVE YOUR REQUEST IN A MINICBBS MESSAGE! *** LEAVE IT
ONLY AS A COMMENT WHEN YOU EXIT MINICBBS via the 'G' command.
There is no fee for accessing the Sysop RCP/M. The password
protection is to provide a private communications and exchange
system for remote system operators.
The telephone number for the Sysop RCP/M is (313) 885-0506.
Sysops should also be aware that the RCPMnnnn.LST is
periodically verified. If your system is non-operative around
the middle of the month but not permanently down, send a message
to me (Ian Cottrell) through any of the systems listed above,
explaining the situation. While missing a single verification
will not normally result in deletion from the list, it is better
to be safe than sorry. If your system is no longer functioning,
please have a friend modem a message so your system can be
deleted. If your system is deleted in error, send a message and
you will re-instated as soon as possible.
