@CLS@@X0B How to Sign up on The Board
 
@X0F
	Right now there is no online registration.  Until this is setup you
can request an account from the sysop.  Use the (@X0EC@X0F)omment to sysop command
to leave a message.  In the message you need to include your real first and
last name, your password, and username.

	Your password can consist of number or letters, should be 6 to 12
characters in length, and should be all lowercase.  The reason why it needs
to be in lowercase is that linux is case sensitive and if you entered
Secret, then secret would not work.  It just makes it easier to remember.
The user name also needs to be in lowercase an can be from 2 to 16
characters in length and can not contain any spaces.

	Here is an example of what the body of your message might look like.

I would like to request an account on this system.  Here is all requested
information.

First Name: Joe
Last Name: Smith

Username: jsmith
Password: mypword

Make sure you enter all the requested information.

Also write down your username and password as you will not be able to use
your account without them.

**Note:
	When you save your message there might be some delay.  For some
reason our mail transport needs the internet link to be active in order to
send a message.  Even local ones.  So if there is a delay just wait it
should only take about 30 seconds to a minute at most.  We're working on
getting this fixed now.
