Last updated 15 January 2026

==========================================================================
NOTE: All of your personal information will be held in the strictest of
confidence.  I will not give out any of your personal information to
anyone except your mail hub (uplink) unless I have your express permission
to do so or am ordered by a court of law.

Please fill out all of the information requested below and return this app
back to me, Sean Dennis, via one of the following ways:

  -- Email  : zc@minftn.net (please use the subject line of "Micronet Node
              Application")

  -- Netmail: Send it via netmail to 1:18/200@Fidonet.  If you are sending via
              routed netmail, please put the application in the body of the
              message as file attachments are stripped using routed netmail.
              
              If you use BinkP, you can crash me directly.

  -- FTP    : Drop off your app at bbs.outpostbbs.net in the pub/incoming
              folder.  Make sure to let me know your app is waiting!

I have included my GPG public key in the infopack if you would like to send
me your app encrypted.  Before you send your encrypted app to me, please make
sure you have given me your public key!  If you send me an encrypted app and
I do not have your GPG key, I will delete it.

Give me about 48 hours to get your application in the system.  I should
either netmail or email you back within that time about your application
status.  If it's approved, I will forward it to your new mail hub and you
two will work out your network connection.

If I don't respond to you within 48 hours, please email me and /nicely/
ask me what's going on.  If I do not answer, please email Andrew Leary,
Micronet's assistant ZC, at asstzc@minftn.net.  Please note that I am
chronically ill and I may need some extra time.

Please save this application using your last name as the filename and
".app" as the extension.  If you have non-US characters in your last name,
please just use standard ASCII with the filename or else my system will
not recognize it.

If you are using anti-spam measures for your email, please add my
email address, zc@minftn.net, to your "whitelist".  If my email bounces,
your application will be rejected.

One more thing: please delete this header from the application when you
submit it.  Shows me you can follow directions! :)

******************************************************************************
* NOTE: I reserve the right to refuse an application with or without reason. *
