  Your first step is MakeWild, there you will need to add one conference for
E-Mail and one conference for each of the newsgroups that you intend to 
carry.  On my board I designated groups of conferences for each network and
left plenty of room for future conferences.  For instance, my FidoNet 
conferences are numbered 10-99, Internet Conferences 100-199 and my TechNet
conferences 200-299.  I haven't yet used up all the conferences, but having
each Network with its own numbers helps keep things straight..

 For your E-Mail conference, you will want to set up a conference similar
to this.  There is an example setting in the wcGate manual for you too.

You will also need to add a conference for each newsgroup.  You may or may 
not want to do this now, but I suggest you add at least one now so you can
properly run MakeGate later.

A note on the number of conferences to allow:  You will have to decide early
on just how much disk space you want to dedicate to your message conference 
areas.  You may be surprised at the amount of mail you receive on the Internet,
some newsgroups can easily generate two or three thousand messages each week.
I found that 1000 messages was a good, round number and worked will on my 
system.  You will have to keep an eye on your disk space for the first few
weeks and decide on the appropriate number of messages for each conference.

Now save your MakeWild settings and exit MakeWild.

At this point you should refer to MAKEGATE.TXT and run MakeGate.
