==========================================================================
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, Andrew Leary, via the following:

  -- Email  : ajleary19@gmail.com (please use the subject line of "NixNet Node
              Application")

  -- Netmail: Send it via netmail to 1:320/219@fidonet or
              86:86/1@nixnet.  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, my system accepts crashmail.

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

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.

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.

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