                      Application for NeST Membership
                      ===============================

                         Issue 1/96 - 1 March, 1996

The following application form should be filled in giving as many details as 
possible and sent to the SysOp of the BBS from which the form was obtained. The 
SysOp will then forward the completed application form to the relevant NeST 
Regional Coordinator for processing.

You will be notified as soon as possible as to whether your application for 
membership in NeST has been accepted by the NeST Regional Coordinator. If your 
application has been successful,  your details will be added to the next issue 
of the NeSTList.


        *   This application form must be returned via NetMail.

        *   The application should be forwarded upwards through the network 
            structure until it reaches a Coordinator with the authority and 
            ability to process the data into the NeSTList. Application forms 
            from nodes wishing to become RC's must be also forwarded to Daron 
            Brewood on 90:90/0.0@nest.ftn

        *   GMT means Greenwich Mean Time.

        *   As NeST is primarily an Atari ST network, all items in this form 
            have been designed with this in mind. Space has, however, been 
            provided for non-Atari nodes to give details about their systems.
