   2.1.8  Exclusivity of Zone Mail Hour   
      
   Zone Mail Hour is the heart of FidoNet, as this is when network mail is passed   
   between systems.  Any system which wishes to be a part of FidoNet must be able   
   to receive mail during this time using the protocol defined in the current   
   FidoNet Technical Standards Committee publication (FTS-0001 at this writing).    
   It is permissible to have greater capability (for example, to support   
   additional protocols or extended mail hours), but the minimum requirement is   
   FTS-0001 capability during this one hour of the day.   
      
   This time is exclusively reserved for netmail.  Many phone systems charge on a   
   per-call basis, regardless of whether a connect, no connect, or busy signal is   
   encountered.  For this reason, any activity other than normal network mail   
   processing that ties up a system during ZMH is considered annoying behavior.   
   Echomail should not be transferred during ZMH.  User (BBS) access to a system   
   is prohibited during ZMH.   
      
   A system which is a member of a local network may also be required to observe   
   additional mail events, as defined by the Network Coordinator.  Access   
   restrictions during local network periods are left to the discretion of the   
   Network Coordinator.
