 What is PSN?

    PSN (Pex Support Net) is a network which allows ProBoard SysOps to obtain
    the newest PEX and ProBoard related releases from around the world.  Unlike
    other nets, PSN is much more global.  Many PEXs which would not normally
    make it to the USA are now available through PSN.

 Where does PSN Originate?

    PSN originates from The Highlander BBS (Christian Schulz) in Germany.  It
    is echoed throughout Europe and provided in the USA through Warren Davis
    at 1:3672/820.

 What About Policy?

    PSN prides itself in offering the least possible policy regulations.
    Basically there is one rule, everything should be about ProBoard!

 How do I Sign Up?

    If you are a SysOp within the USA you can fill out this form and send
    it to 1:3672/820 today!  Applicants are usually added within a 24 hour
    period.  So just fill it out, send it in, and poll back in 24 hours
    to pick up your account information.

  The PEX Support Network is unique in the way the net is setup.  It is made
  up of:

        1 Zone Coordinator - Christian Schulz
        1 Region Coordinator (Per Country) - Warren Davis (USA)
        1 Host (Per State)
        Hubs When Specified by the Net
        Unlimited Nodes Per Region

  If you are the first to apply in your area you may get Host or Hub status.

  Hosts are responsible for getting a net segment to the RC by Wednesday each
  week.  You need not send an update if changes are not made.  Please attach
  a netmail message to your segment so it does not get lost!
  
  New nodelist are compiled Friday or Saturdays and reach the USA the
  following Thursday.  ALL MAIL AND FILES LEAVE AND ENTER THE USA ON
  THURSDAYS ONLY!
