All files in this package must be included in any distribution

*** Setting up NetSEX ***
1. Aquire a fidonet node number from your fidonet area
coordinator.
2. Aquire a gateway node number by e-mailing 1@5317. In the
message be sure to include your WWIV node number, your
Fidonet Address, and your USENET address if you have one.
3. Create or edit the FIDO.NET file and place it in your wwiv
DATA directory.
4. Place the NetSEX executable in your WWIV directory.
5. Run Netsex with one of the following parameter combinations:
NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY> \W
( Import messages from Fidonet to WWIVNET)
NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY> \F
( Export messages from WWIVNET to Fidonet)
NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY> \WF
( Import then Export )
NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY> \FW
( Export then Import)
NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY>
( Default - Import then Export)
If everything is set up correctly you should get a display of
what messages are being processed and some totals. If there are
errors in your FIDO.NET file NetSEX will print a messages telling
what line is causing the trouble.
Be sure to run NetSEX before and after ZMH (zone mail hour)
if your Fidonet node networks only during ZMH.
The current convention for gatewayed subs is to use sub
numbers in the range of 600-799. Even sub numbers are used for
USENET News Groups and Odd sub numbers are used for Fidonet
EchoMail areas. Sub 600 is the NetSEX support sub, To join send
e-mail to 1@7400 requesting that you be added.
The file USER.TXT that is included with this package is intended
to be a reference for BBS users who would like to take
advantadge of a NetSEX gateway. I would suggest having this file
downloadable or availiable under WWIV's GFILES area.
Send questions, comments, or digitized sound samples of heavy
breathing to:

WWIVNET: 1@5317
NetSEX is an ongoing project intended to make WWIVNET more
accessible to the outside world and vice versa. Thank you for
your effort in this project.
