= Introducing fsxNet =========================== UPDATED = 2016-02-24 =======
	
fsxNet is a fun, simple and experimental network established in late 2015

fsxNet is not a perscriptive network. e[X]perimentation is at heart
of its name and members are actively encouraged to be creative in their
use of the network. Only a handfull of message areas and file bases are
used - setup is quick and [S]imple.

Technologies covered by the network include (but are not limited to)
BBSing, ANSI art, Vintage Computers & Gaming, FTN communications,
network protocols & topologies, encryption methods and more...

Do you find it [F]un to learn about and use retro computing technologies?
Would you like to be part of a group that enjoy experimenting and developing
those technologies further? If the answer is yes, then we invite you to 
join us :)

== GOALS ====================================================================

* Develop and encourage international communications between 20 (or more)
  geographically diverse bulletin board systems.

* Support and create learning and experimental opportunities between
  members.

* Foster borderless international friendships.

* Explore and develop new and interesting methods of online communication
  between members.
  
* Have fun, be respectful and helpful to each other.

== Housekeeping =============================================================

* Members using fsxNet to conduct themselves with the above goals in mind.
