                      How to pay for your full key
                      ============================

     It  seems  like  some  people have  trouble  getting  the  150 
     guilders  here to order a full key.  So here are some tips  on 
     international  transfers.  The  three  most  important  points 
     first:

      Make  all  cheques,  postal  orders,  money  transfers  etc. 
       payable to Theo Runia. ALWAYS include your keynumber.

      Cheques,  postal  orders  and  money  transfers  in  foreign 
       currencies are not accepted,

      Send them to

          Theo Runia
          P.O. Box 1183
          8900 CD Leeuwarden
          The Netherlands

     Now  for  the  different  methods  of  payment,  in  order  of 
     preference.

      By international postal order is quickest on our end. I just 
       have to go to the post office to cash them.  A postal  order 
       can be sent from your local post office. This is fast  as  I
       get them within a week, and a full key will be ready at that
       day.

      By EuroCheque is also fairly quick.  Because EuroCheques are 
       guaranteed by the bank,  your full key will be available  as 
       soon  as  the cheque arrives here.  Most banks  charge  very 
       little for EuroCheques.

      If you live in Europe and have access to a giro account, you 
       can transfer the money directly to mine.  My  giro  bank  is 
       called  Postbank  N.V. in Arnhem and  my account  number  is
       2740040. Nowadays you should be able to use  EUROGIRO.  Most
       Giro systems in europa are connected to this system.

      You can also transfer money via the SWIFT system. This is an
       international money transfer system. Almost all banks should
       have access to this. You should show the following  to  your
       bank:

       Transfer 150 dutch guilders via the  SWIFT  transfer  system
       to my bank, my bank is:

       Friesland bank
       Zaailand 110
       Leeuwarden
       The Netherlands

       My account number there is 29.63.18.418  on the name of:
       Theo Runia in Leeuwarden.

       The swiftcode for the Friesland bank is FRBKNL2L

       With this code it should be easy for a bank to transfer  the
       money. But please mention your  keynumber,  it  make's  live
       easier for me and you.

      A bank cheque of your bank is possible  too.  It  should  be
       drawn on a Dutch bank. But normally this is  the  case  with
       bank cheques. The disadavantage is that I  get  the  cheques
       fast enough but I will have to wait 1-2  weeks  before  it's
       cleared by the bank. But generally it's quite a good system.


     If you have sent a cheque or postal order etc.  and your  demo 
     key runs out, just post a message on the Support BBS or send a
     netmail. In  general  we  will  make  an  extended  demo   key
     available.

     We wil send a netmail via Fidonet if the key is ready,  so  do
     supply your nodenumber. If you want the key on disc please say
     so. This will however take longer.

     Any invalid cheques and postal orders will be returned to you, 
     with a description of what was wrong.

     And please don't forget to mention your  keynumber, the number 
     of users is so big that it is sometimes diffecult to find  out
     who send the money.

     If  you  have experience with  international  money  transfers 
     which  you think would be of use to others,  let me  know  and 
     I'll include it in this file.

     Good luck!                                            - Theo -
