Once you have contacted the local SysOp you wish to connect to for NeST mail (your Boss Node), and it has been agreed that you will call him/her for mail you will need to download the NeST Kit. The kit contains Policy and other Documents ( NeST Application Form. ) you must read (and complete) before being allowed to apply for NeST membership.
The rules and regulations of NeST are not overly harsh or too lax, but ensure that the network operates as smoothly as possible, and therefore provides a framework that everyone works within as well as being a guide to NeST ettiquette.
Once you have completed the NeST application form you should send it to your Boss Node who will then use the information within in to set his system to hold NeST mail for you under the NeST address you will be assigned.
It is assumed at this point that you already have a bulltin board which is operational, and able to receive FTN (Fidonet Technology) mail, as this is used by NeST for the transfer on mail between NeST nodes.
It will then be your responsibility to ensure that you call your Boss Node on a regular basis to collect mail, and hense keep mail flow in NeST operational. In turn your Boss Node will assist with any problems you may have integrating your bulletin board into NeST.
