FemmeNet is a WWIV-based Network devoted to General Interest with an emphasis on female SysOps and Users. All genders are welcome, but active boards must have a female SL-255 SysOp.

History of FemmeNet

FemmeNet was started because ten or so female sysops in Jessica Lovecraft's Female SysOps sub decided that a network where all the sysops were female might be interesting and fun! We currently have about 15 systems and will add more as they apply.

The original Network Coordinator of FemmeNet was Ronda of Ronda's Riverboat BBS. She did a great job of running the network, and we'll miss her. As of October 1st, 1995, White Queen took over as NC. She also runs a full-time mail server for FemmeNet.

FemmeNet is now available via Frank Reid's PPP Software!"  To learn more about using the Internet to send your WWIV packets, click here.

The purpose of FemmeNet in the BBS Community

FemmeNet is a "general interest network" like FidoNet, WWIVnet, WWIVlink & ICEnet. This network is based on three things:

  1. A sincere desire for a group of female sysops to do all the things that make a (hopefully) large network work!
  2. No person will be excluded from using, posting, or carrying the network, so long as there is a female SL-255 on the system.
  3. All offices (NC, GC, AC) will be held by female sysops. Differing from the 'norm' in that #1 or #2 accounts can hold office.

Who Can Join The Net?

Anyone running a Bulletin Board that can use Wayne Bell's NETWORK.EXE program (Current version: NET36) or the PPP Project. Anyone else running a NET3x compatible system (WWIV and VBBS are the most popular) is welcome.

These BBS should be 24 hour\public BBS's, but private or part-time BBS can be allowed into the network if 1@1 grants a waiver to the BBS.
