Welcome to Whisper-Echo-Net!

Note:

---

Application must be submitted prior to setting up FTN or QWK accounts.  Fill out the wenapp.txt in this
infopack and send it to:

Jon Justvig   @  jonathanjustvig@gmail.com  WHQ    : 316:36/1
Rob Starr Jr  @  wna2@time.synchro.net      HUB 2  : 316:77/1
Terry Barlow  @  tbarlow550@gmail.com       HUB 3  : 316/719/1
---

Otherwise continue...

If you're using FTN, skip down to FTN.

You have in front of you information you need to start receiving the Whisper-Echo-Net network via QWK with Synchronet 3.14+.

You will need to log into Time Warp of the Future BBS via telnet at time.synchro.net port 24 and create a new account.  This will need to be a QWK account.  When creating this new account your username must be eight characters or less for this to work.  Answer the questions truthfully and you will be prompted to answer the question:

-=- Is this account to be used for QWK Networking (DOVE-Net)?  NO  YES

Make sure you select YES.

Now you will want to select Whisper-Echo-Net and toggle the subs you wish to carry.  You may also reset the pointers to an earlier date so you get older messages.

**Remember your password!!

When you're done, logoff and go into SCFG and check Message Areas:

just make sure Append Tag/Origin Line and QWK Networked
have been marked "Yes".

For those that use a fidonet style mailer and would like to
receive these messages via their FTN, make sure you put
your assigned Whisper-Echo-Net address that I provide for you in the
FidoNet Address entry.

Press Escape three times to get to Whisper-Echo-Net Group.

Now you want to Clone the first sub for the rest of the subs in this network.
