                              presents

                      Wyvern Public Access UNIX
                              - and -
                             Wyvern BBS

Wyvern is a 486/33 running UNIX System V rel.4.  The bulletin board
software is UniBoard, a UNIX based bbs.  We have over 800MB of file
space to provide you with the ultimate messaging, email and bbs'ing
experience.  And we'll grow as necessary to continue providing you with
the best service available anywhere.  Wyvern was created as a
commercial system (we provide email and news to businesses), but since
our hardware and software are capable enough, we've decided to open a
bbs for the hobby user at reduced prices.  We're located in Norfolk,
VA.

This is a pay system, though our rates are *VERY* low for the service
you receive.  See our price list later in this ad.

In addition to UniBoard, we offer access to the UNIX system, and we
will also provide email and/or USENET service to your home machine.
Imagine having your own Internet mail address!  If you're interested in
the power and flexibility of UNIX, let us know for a free trial.

Note that we do not yet offer ftp/telnet to the Internet.  We
anticipate a connection in the near future with competitive pricing.

We offer:

* USENET news.  Join "The NET".  Read and post along with 11
	million others on 55000 machines around the world.  Join in on
	any of over 1500 discussion groups.  Download public domain
	software and graphics, directly from "The NET".  Get expert
	advice on any conceivable subject.  We receive an average of
	40MB of news daily!  ** NOTE ** USENET contains adult
	material.  Customers who cannot give proof of age 18 will be
	denied access to the adult sections.

* Internet email, connecting to all the other major international email
	networks, like Compu$erve, AT&T Mail, MCI Mail, FidoNet, etc.

* The usual file up/download.  We're in the process of expanding our
	file selection.  So far, we only have 240MB of space for
	downloads, but we'll up the ante when our 240 gets full.

* Interactive chat with other users.  Although we only have 4 lines
	open for bbs use now, we will increase that number as
	necessary.  Our bbs license allows eight users, but we'll
	upgrade our license as necessary.  Our modems are all 9600bps
	and 14400bps, but will connect with anything at or above 1200.
	Sorry, no HST.

* Doors.  Play games, use UNIX programs.
	If there's any other entertainment you know of that you'd like
	to see here, just let us know.
