To use QWK for accessing a bulletin board you will have to locate your local bulletin board which supports the QWK packet mail transfer. A list of local bulletin boards many be found on the 'Connecting to NeST via a BBS' pages.
Once you have located your local QWK board you will have to contact the sysop to obtain a copy of the QWK software he/she recommends.
QWK - What is it? The QWK system relies on you having a QWK compatible offline reading system. Once this has been installed then you will utilise it as follows:
First log onto your QWK bulletin board, locate and enter the QWK doorway, and select the messages you wish to read. The QWK system on the BBS will then archive up your messages, and you will be able to download them using your QWK reader. Any mesages your have to send from the last session will be uploaded at that time.
You may then log off the bulletin board and read your mail and reply to it offline.
