Great! This organization would be a natural for the CCN.

Right.

Telnet to chebucto.ns.ca, login as 'guest' and follow the menus to get
your own account. At thend print & sign the User Agreement and send it in
to the CCN Office (you can drop it off directly if you want to fast track
the process). Cost is $20/year or pay-what-you-can. When our Office
Manager gets this User Agreement, he activates the account. As soon as
that is done, login to the CCN and continue the above process. Type 'g ip'
when logged into the CCN to 'go to' the Information Providers' Support
Site directly and start the online IP Application.

No, that's fine! We look forward to hosting the site! Your contact will be
Diane Cooper <ag151@chebucto.ns.ca>, who is the CCN Heritage editor.

Any more questions: give us a shout!

Cheers,

Chris
