A high percentage of NeST bulletin boards support the use of QWK packet offline mail readers. These allow existant users who are registered on the bulletin boards to have mail parceled up (whilst online) and then download to your local machine. The advantage with this system is that mail can be ready at leisure offline, and replies archived ready for uploading next time you use the QWK gateway program.
For those who wish to be power users of NeST it is recommended that you join us as a Private Node, as this offers many benefits; All mail reading, packaging is done offline, dramatically reducing phone bills, most mail being delivered within a phone lasting a couple of minutes each day. Private Nodes are also listed in the Master Nodelist (the NeSTList) which allows then to be easilly mailed from anywhere within NeST. Private Nodes also have the bonus of entry into the Adminstration Message areas, and thereby have a vote in the operation of the network.
Download the NeST information pack which can be used by any user to obtain information on Network ST (NeST). Within the archive can be found complete documentation concerning the network, it's operation and aims, as well as the machine readable nodelist (NeSTLiST) used for mailing within NeST.
Atarians which wish to access NeST as a Private Node or as a System Operator (of a bulletin board) you must download the NeST Kit, as you will need to comply with the NeST Policy Documents contained within.
