<h2><a name="JoiningDoveNet">[9.2] - Step-by-step
Instructions for Joining DOVE-Net</a></h2>
<pre>DOVE-Net is a message base network connecting numerous BBSs and users on
those BBSs together through QWK and Fido network technologies. DOVE-Net
consists of primarily Synchronet BBSs. This is due to the fact that the
co-founders of DOVE-Net are also the developers of Synchronet BBS software.
DOVE-Net is not limited to one specific BBS package and welcomes any QWK or
Fido network compatible BBS to join as long as their software of choice does
not interfere with the operation of the network in any way.
For more information on DOVE-Net, download DOVE-NET.ZIP from the Digital
Dynamics' support BBS.

47. Call your hub system. Logon as NEW and enter your BBS QWK ID as your
user name and let your hub's sysop know that the account is for a
DOVE-Net node (usually in new user validation feedback). Make sure you
use the SAME password for the hub BBS that you entered into your
QNET.SLT file. Do not perform a QWK net call-out to this hub until
you are sure the sysop has made the necessary modifications to your
QWK node account or the script will not work correctly. DO NOT download
a QWK packet without the proper settings on your QWK node account. If
you don't immediately get a QWK: prompt when logging on to the hub,
your QWK node account has not yet been setup and you must wait until
it is properly configured on the hub BBS before sending or receiving
packets.
48. You will need to post a &quot;start-up&quot; message in each DOVE-Net sub-board
to guarantee that it is added to your new message scan on your DOVE-Net
host BBS. Post the message to &quot;SBBS&quot; with a title of &quot;CTRL-A KEEP&quot;
to tell the hub system to retain Ctrl-A codes in messages when creating
your QWK packets.
*** End of DOVE-Net Step-by-step instructions ***
It is important that you DO NOT call more than one DOVE-Net hub, unless you
and the hub sysop are very experienced with QWK networking. It is also
important that if you SWITCH hubs in the future, that you delete all the
messages in the DOVE-Net sub-boards before your first call-out to the new
hub BBS. Otherwise, you may flood the network with duplicate messages.</pre>
