Hello all.

USENET is an interesting place - - lots of good info. AND _lots_ of
spam! At Sursum Corda BBS (both dial-up and via telnet) we employ a
constantly expanding group of filters to trap a great deal of the
garbage posted to this and all the other newsgroups we carry. They're available on the BBS or via standard FTN feeds, including IREX.
Special interest groups can be added at your request. (Sorry, no binary groups.)

The same applies to our free internet e-mail. Sure, you can get free
e-mail at tons of sites, but not with the spam protection we offer.
You're behind the same barricade of spam traps (with an additional
filter step added) there too. No virus worries via this system!

It's a different, older way to do it, but it works GREAT. Stop by and
see!

Hello All!

In this time of countless destructive programs that are transmitted
to you via E-Mail, the BBS community of System Operators offer a
secure "shield" from these intrusions. Many BBSes offer a "text only"
form of internet E-Mail through a special system of "gates". These
gates effectively trap file attachments and active "scripts" that can
attack your computer. You are completely isolated from the
destructive attempts. The trade-off? You generally cannot receive
attachments of pictures, files, or Web Page type mails; only text.
Many folks find this alternative quite acceptable.

The benefits? Many BBSes have sophisticated "spam traps" in place
that dump the all-too-common garbage mail that swamps many people.
You don't need a fast computer or high-speed internet connection in
most cases. Many BBSes still maintain "dial-up" lines as well as
"telnet" connections via the internet. The speed requirement is very
low. With dial-up BBSes you don't even need a connection to the
internet at all - no Internet Service Provider required. It's a
completely different environment than the Web.

Call or telnet into one of the systems listed here or at
