Delivery is via regular Usenet delivery software. Your site administrator will understand what this means. Set-up usually takes only a few minutes. We provide the necessary commands to create the Govline newsgroups on your system, and a line or two has to be added to the regular Usenet feed control files permitting receipt of these new materials from us. In the case of resellers this does not apply to their resale customers, only the system on which the data is located.
Resale only extends to personal, end-users use via usenet newsreader programs or similar.
For example, an ISP which provides shell accounts from which customers run common newsreaders such as tin or nn or rn etc. fits this definition of resale, as would SLIP or PPP accounts with the data being accessed from PC's or Macs or similar with interactive programs such as WinVN, typically via a personal NNTP link. In the case of reseller pricing a user is any customer with access to the reseller's system whether they use this specific service or not. Prices have been set to account for the fact that not all customers access these materials. For resellers, support staff and other staff directly involved in the support, billing, sales or maintenance of the reseller service do not count as users and may be ignored for the purposes of calculating billing rate. For example, if a simple scan of the password file yields 5000 accounts with access plus 12 staff you may use the number 4500 for calculating the rates above as a convenience.
