This node software requires a very minimal PC configuration to run in, and provides for some very interesting additional features that the ROSE network does not support. FPAC is compatible with the ROSE network, but it adds many new extensions which are only available in an FPAC network.</em></p> <p><em>FPAC is a software product originating from France, and has many features which work directly with the FBB BBS software making it an excellent choice for a node site where a collocated FBB BBS is present.</em></p> <p><em>France has run the FPAC node software in their extensive network for several years, and it is now being introduced into the Florida packet network in the Tampa area.</em></p> <p><em>The key elements of FPAC are RELIABILITY, EXCELLENT SUPPORT, EXPANDED FUNCTIONS, and EASE of USE.</em></p> <p><em>Recommended reading for any area thinking about migrating to FPAC would be the SYSOP document. The USERS document is an excellent document to give to your users once you have an FPAC network or node operational.</em></p> <hr> <p><font size="4"><strong>FPAC </strong></font><a name="mailing list"><font size="4"><strong>mailing list</strong></font></a><font size="4"><strong> </strong></font><a href="subscribe.html"><font size="4"><strong>subscribe/unsubscribe</strong></font></a> </p> <p>Subscribe to this mailing list for <strong>USER</strong> supported answers to your questions concerning FPAC.<br> To send mail to the FPAC mail list, address your e-mail to:<font color="#FF0080"> </font><a href="mailto:fpac@qth.net"><font color="#FF0080"><strong>fpac@qth.net</strong></font></a></p> <p><font color="#400040">To access the </font><a href="http://www.qth.net/archive/fpac/fpac.html"><font color="#400040"><strong>FPAC archives</strong></font></a><font color="#400040">, click on this link.</font></p> <p><font color="#400040">If you should change your e-mail address, the best way to change your subscription is to first <strong>unsubscribe</strong><br> your old address, and then <strong>subscribe</strong> your new address.
