|THE ATARI USER GROUP STATION(c)|
|The Breakfast Club BBS (c)|
The Breakfast Club BBS (TBC) is
pleased to announce the opening of the
AUGS Network.
The Atari User Group Station is THE
place for ALL Atari User Groups to get
the information that they need to
better serve their members. This
includes all of the -online-
magazines, individual articles on a
wide range of topics, files for club
disks, industry information, and much
more.
All of this information is presented in
an easy to find manner and is provided
FREE to all Atari User Groups!!
(Except, of course, the cost of your
phone call! TBC and AUGS are
PC Pursuit-able to help reduce the cost
of your calls.) All you need do is
call and get the information that you
need.
All registered Atari User Groups are
allowed one account with UG access
level. This means that, as an official
User Group, you will have up to 90
minutes per call with NO total daily
time limit and UNLIMITED access to
download files! That's right! No
upload:download ratio, unlimited time,
and all for FREE!!
Individuals may use the AUGS area, but
there is a 60 minute per day time limit
and an upload:download ratio of 1:7.
The AUGS Network is a special area
within TBC BBS with its own message
bases (8 of them), E-Mail area, and
File Bench so there is no need for you
to wade through all the -routine- BBS
activities to get what you need. This
will save you and your User Group $$
in phone bills!
AUGS supports ALL Atari computers from
the -old reliable- 400 to the state of
the art ST/Mega and the soon to arrive
TT, STACY, and beyond. As the machines
arrive and the need crops up, AUGS will
be there with the latest information
for you and your User Group.
The main service that AUGS provides is
to supply Atari User Groups with an
easy and fast way to get articles for
their newsletters. If other services
should be needed in the future, AUGS
will add them in a timely and useful
manner.
AUGS calls several of the -online
services- every day, is in close
contact with Atari Corp. and a number
of third party developers for both
Atari 8-bits and STs, and makes
frequent checks of other sources of
information so that the information
provided is up to date, concise, and,
above all, accurate. This frees your
User Group newsletter editor from the
hassles, time expense, and monitary
expense of having to call all over
to get the needed information. One
source, one call.
AUGS will even handle -special
requests- for information for you!
Just drop the AUGS SysOps a note with
the details of what it is that you
need, and we will be happy to make a
complete search for it and get back to
you. Sort of an -online encyclopedia-
for User Groups!
To reach AUGS, just call The Breakfast
Club BBS at:
(916) 331-4722
300/1200bps
24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week
ATASCII, ASCII, ST-VT52, ANSI, CCG
At the prompt, press RETURN/ENTER.
Then select your graphics mode from the
list. When asked to select a Network,
press -7- for the AUGS Network.
If you are a new caller to AUGS, when
asked for your password, type -NEW- and
hit RETURN/ENTER.
>From there on, just follow the prompts!
We look forward to serving you and your
Atari User Group at AUGS soon!
