 Support- and beta-nodes
 ────────────────────────────────
 All DISP programs are beta-tested and distributed by several nodes
 in the world. Below is a list of current beta/support noded. For
 every node there is an entry to what the current status is (beta-
 test or support AND beta-test).

 The BBS's above will always have the most current version of the DISP
 software available. Also, in some cases, it is possible to request the
 newest versions with a standard file-request (ask your Sysop). On most
 of the mentioned BBS's, you can request the newest version by Freq'in
 for the 3-letter product-code (MTA) and NEW, so MTANEW, XFDNEW, QFVNEW
 and so on.

 The actual DISP-HQ is point 2:512/100.5, but this is a closed system
 and can not be accessed from the 'outside'). You CAN address netmail to
 this point though !

 Becomming a beta-tester and/or support-node
 ───────────────────────────────────────────
 If you think that beta-testing DISP-software (MTA, FileDoor, QFV, RFW
 and so on) is something for you, then do the following:

 Zone 1,2 and 5
 --------------
 - Write a LETTER (NOT a netmail/echomail message) to the address above,
   telling WHY you want to be beta-tester and/or support-node;
 - Tell something about yourself, what you have done sofar in the area
   of beta-testing;
 - Tell something about your system (hardware, running software);
 - Tell me that can work according to the rules mentioned below (*);
 - Tell me your node-number;

 Netmail/Echomail messages that deal with the question to become a
 support/beta node are (in general) not answered.

 You will get a written answer from me. There can be three cases:
 - You are accepted;
 - Your on the 'waiting' list. I keep the number of testers and
   support-nodes low. When some node whishes to stop the testing
   and/or support, the next one from the list is asked again;
 - You are not accepted;

 Zone 3,4 and 6
 --------------
 As above, but you can also send me a netmail message (2:512/100 or
 2:512/100.5 under Rob van.hoeven). We are still in big need of beta
 testers and support nodes in these zones.

 (*) rules for beta-testing/support node follow below:

 - You must come and get the newest beta-versions AND release version
   yourself. The frequency is depending on the zone. In general, at
   least once a week;

 - You must support the DISP-echo;

 - You can be a beta-tester without support but you can't be a support
   node without being a beta-tester;

 - You must agree to a set of rules that are send to you when the deal
   is closing;
