MONSOON - Asian BBS News ------------------------ A new info distribution service, MONSOON, has come online to cover the PC communications scene through Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, People's China, Russia and other Asian countries. Wanna hear the latest on cheap V.32 modems out of Taiwan? Got a neat new piece of Cyrillic BBS shareware to sell? Dying to advertise your FidoNet forum in the ROK? No problem... MONSOON gathers/translates comm info throughout Asia, along with news clips from Pasocom-Tsushin Monthly (Japan) and Nebula Magazine (Hong Kong). Letters written in English, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin only), Korean, and German can be accepted. You can even place a standard screen (80x23 char) advert and have it translated to Japanese for about US$150 - a steal. MONSOON service monthly rates run US$25 for BBS and US$10 for individuals. Exchange rates will probably be the toughest part for a while, but go ahead... implode the global village.
