CUSSNet builds on a 6000 + local bulletin boards (FIDO, OPUS, etc.) around the world which automatically exchange information. Usually no fees are charged except for long distance mail. If a BBS carrying the CUSS Net conference (echo) exists in your city, dial it up and follow the directions. Before calling long distance to a node, you may want to learn to use a BBS by calling a free local node. To locate a local FIDO or OPUS BBS, ask your local microcomputer dealer. You can use a local node to send mail and pick up whatever CUSSNet information your local BBS operator will get for you. Communications are at 300-2400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. Almost any computer or terminal and modem
