                            ECHOLIST
                          MASTER REPORT

    The Echolist
    =================

    The EchoList, or Elist, is published at the beginning of
    each month and is a listing of EchoMail Conferences as
    described and submitted by each conference's moderator.

    It provides a place for Moderators to advertise their
    conferences, both to people who would like to participate,
    and to those who route echo traffic.  It is also a reference
    for distribution systems wishing to contact the Moderator of
    an echo, or wishing information about an echo's topics.
    Elist entries include topic, distribution and contact
    information.  Procedural or internal echo operational matters
    will normally be put in the rules file for an echo.

    The Echolist carries echo listings from various Networks
    and distribution systems, including all Zones of Fidonet,
    and all such listings are welcomed.

         and participate. AAOS Echo is now on the FidoNet Backbone.

AMIGA_FILEFIND
    Filefind Echo for AMIGA computers
         This is an echo that allows you to send a search request
         via the echo to "FILEFIND", "ALLFIX" etc. being utilized
         by participating BBS's and have the response come back from
         these BBS's via the echo, informing you as to what your
         search has found. (Some systems will opt to send replies
         via NetMail).  Thus, you are able to do a FILE REQUEST via
         netmail on the basis of your search. If you do not have
         access to FILE REQUESTS via your BBS or POINT software,
         another option to obtain the file would be to call one of
         the BBS's you receive your reply from, log on and download
         it directly. It sure beats having to FILE REQUEST a BBS's
         file list (sometimes HUGE) or logging on to search their
         lists when you are looking for just one file!

A_THEIST
    A_Theist - State/church separation & atheist informatio
          A-theist means WITHOUT theists or theism. This echo operates
         as an independent forum for free thought and with the understanding
         that the Constitutional separation of church and state is
         not only desirable, but also absolutely mandated by the
         U.S. Constitution, working toward that end with education
         and source information. It is not a 'bashing' echo, but
         it does operate under the opinion that organized religion
         must be thwarted in its attempt to undermine the government
         of these United States of America by continuously striving
         to inject its dogma and doctrine into federal, state, and
         local governments.

BASSGTR
    Bass Guitar Echo
         The Bass Guitar echo is here!  Oftentimes, bass players
         get left out of regular guitar discussions.  Other items
         like tablature and method books are rare and difficult to
         come by.  This echo is THE place for bassists to hang out
         - Learn from fellow players, get practical advice, share
         knowledge, tablature, and to just have a funky, 'Low End'
         place to call home. Bassists like Geddy Lee and Les Claypool
         have brought the foundation of sound into the 'Limelight'
         with raucous melodic solos and ripping basslines. Whether
         you play 4, 5 or 6 string bass, Electric or Acoustic, Fretless
         or Fretted, picked or not picked, this is the place to be
         if you play bass!

BLINKTALK

         is associated with no formal blindness organization and
         thus expounds no particular philosophy towards blindness,
         or much of anything for that matter! Topics include speech
         synthesis and other adaptive computer screen reading devices,
         braille and its availability, mobility techniques such as
         guide dog and white cane use, daily living tips and tricks
         and general support.  Above all else though, BlinkTalk is
         a place where we share friendship, it just so happens that
         many of us are visually disabled! Should you have any questions
         concerning the echo please netmail the moderator at his
         Fidonet address.  Do consider joining us in BlinkTalk though,
         for you'll be glad you did!

BLOWHARDS
    Blowhard venting Echo for Sysops who can't help themsel
         ---A non-Backbone Echo distributed via past or present members
         for the purpose of microdebating non-important non-issues
         by self-appointed 'sealawyer-type' Sysops of FidoNet most
         of whom have recently migrated into FidoNet from military
         bases or walks of life where personal power was denied to
         them. ---This Echo serves to relieve the crap level from
         the real Echos [like ZEC or MODERATOR] where nitpickers
         previously plied their dissatisfaction with FidoNet and
         real world ops. It is modeled on a previous and similarly
         designed local Echo called R18COORD which was a circular
         flame Echo for dissatisfied Net Coordinators in Region 18
         to bitch and moan about standard FidoNet ops they didn't
         agree with. ---Blowhards are concentrated in New Jersey
         but are also found in Texas, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma,
         and Alabama among others. You probably have Blowhards in
         your own Net or Region or Zone.

CALLSIGN
    Amateur Radio License Callsign Server Echo
          A conference for making inquiries about the current status
         of the licenses of Amateur Radio ("Ham") operators. The
         Callsign Server was originally seen in the Backboned echo
         AMATEUR_RADIO, but there was sufficient demand for this
         echo to be placed on the Backbone. The method of using the
         CALLSIGN echo is simple. A message is sent from a user to
         "Callsign Server", with the subject being "<actual callsign>",
         in which case, if there is a match, the Server will produce
         the name, address, and type of class license that the operator
         possesses. At this time, the server will ignore all requests
         for name or ZIP-code searches. No other discussions will
         be allowed on the echo, except for questions on how to correctly
         operate the Callsign Server (which will be posted as a FAQ
         file, along with the rules of the echo). All callers are
         welcome, but please limit your requests to no more than
         two a week.

CCW_ECHO
    Crime Watch International Echo Conference
          CCW is a conference where users can ask questions, have
         discussions, pass information, etc. as relates to the concepts
         and philosophies of crime prevention and the development
         and formulation of neighborhood crime watch programs. These
         concepts and philosophies are consistent with those espoused
         by law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S., England,
         and Canada, and are those taught by the National Crime Prevention
         Institute, University of Kentucky, Louisville, Ky. Users
         consist of police officers, citizens, crime prevention practitioners,
         or anyone else interested in this topic. The conference
         was developed as an adjunct to local Crime Watch and Crime
         Prevention programs and is designed to function as an independent
         communications network between all community-based, grass
         roots crime prevention programs and crime watch organizations,
         providing an opportunity to exchange ideas and interact
         directly with the people they serve.

CHATTER

         other parts, known and unknown. People who post serious
         topics, personal messages, BBS ads, or advertising of ANY
         KIND will be verbally chastised by everybody in the whole
         blamed echo.  THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!  Messages are light-hearted,
         with no chance of accidental seriousness. A perfect place
         for stressed-out persons to find fast relief. Hershey Bars
         allowed. Meatloaf allowed. Aardvarks allowed. Nose picking
         allowed. Cat jokes allowed. Suspend your reality at the
         door and be ready to make fun of yourself. No gross profanity
         allowed, unless expressed with force by the MODERATOR. Math
         proofs and box tops will help, but not much.

COMICS
    Comic Book Discussions Echo
          The Comics Echo is dedicated to the discussion of comic
         books and related topics.  The latest books from DC, Marvel,
         Image, Dark Horse, and other companies--as well as the creators
         behind the books--are discussed, reviewed, and debated.
          The Echo is here to talk about comics as a HOBBY and source
         of enjoyment, and the get-rich-quick investment mentality
         is discouraged.  Adaptations in other media, other works
         by famous creators, and issues such as creator rights are
         discussed as well.  Comic book professionals also stop in
         from time to time to discuss the industry and field questions
         from participants. NO public buying, selling, or trading
         of books is permitted except in situations approved by the
         moderator.

CPMTECH

         Open forum for the discussion of CP/M and related operating

         and Zilog Z-80 microcomputing standard of the late 1970s
         and into the early 1980s.  Although overtaken on the desktop
         by MS-DOS and 16-bit operating systems, CP/M survives today
         both on new systems and on older machines.  Many of the
         great names in the history of the microcomputer are associated
         with CP/M, including Altair, IMSAI, Processor Technology,
         NorthStar, Morrow Designs, Cromemco, Kaypro, Osborne, and
         too many others to list.  Although no longer supported by
         Digital Research (now a part of Novell), CP/M is an active
         area of work for many programmers who continue to refine
         it, adapt it, and port it to additional platforms.  CP/M
         originated many of fundamental concepts of microcomputer
         operating system architecture, such

         *Teaching students decision-making skills and the development

ECHO_REQ
    Echo Requests
          A conference for making FidoNet Zone 1 Echo Requests. This
         echo is for the discussion and sharing information on conferences
         ("echos") in Zone 1 of FidoNet. This is not limited to echos
         seeking FidoNet Zone 1 "BackBone" status, but for anybody
         that wants to "advertise" their privately-distributed echo,
         as well as for increasing the readership of already- established
         BackBone echos. Advertising of echos should not be placed
         in ECHO_REQ more than once a week. It is also suggested
         that this echo be "read-only" to people other than moderators
         or SysOps. But, reasonable questions about echos are "on-topic".
         The discussion of the operation of the BackBone(s), or Planet
         Connect, however, is OFF-TOPIC here, and should be taken
         to the Z1_BACKBONE echo, or a more appropriate administrative
         echo.

EPISCOPAL
    Episcopal Echo
          This is a group for Episcopalians and others to discuss
         life, the meaning of the universe, and everything.  Patterned
         after a campus Canterbury Club with a Sunday evening dinner
         tradition. Participants could be quasi-erudite, might show
         a respectful sense of humor, and demonstrate the humility
         of being less than 98% omniscient. The echo is open to all
         people, regardless of their religion, or the number of times
         they have been born.  For those for whom reason and traditions
         often count as much as faith alone:  "There's a difference
         between being baptised and brainwashed".  A post-sophomoric
         Canterbury Club for all ages.  Mostly for a US mainstream
         and traditional core of demographics and theology as spawned
         the US Declaration of Independence, and other such revolutionary
         things..  The 2000 year old trinity of the KJV is quite
         welcome, as are humor, burlesque, and parody - similar to
         the Jewish tradition of Purim.  Has no teaching or conversion

EVOLUTION
    Evolutionary Mechanism Theory Discussion
         Discussion of evolutionary theory topics, field biology,
         relevant observations in ecology, geology, astronomy, genetics,
         and population biology.  Especially geared toward providing
         a communications channel for scientists organizing against
         the anti-science SciCre forces: future topics to include
         prototype SciCre "argument"/scientific response pairs. While
         SciCre-ists are encouraged to use this channel for distribution
         of their propaganda (as opposed to being off-topic or unwelcome
         in SCIENCE, PHYSICS, and other echoes), it should be noted
         that SciCre-ists will receive exactly the level of respect
         that they give here.  Like the Usenet talk.origins newsgroup,
         discussion is "sometimes hot". The distribution is public
         for this echo.  The echo is on the  FidoNet Zone 1 backbone,
         and apparently has been gated to Zone 3 as well.

FILEFIND
    ALLFIX International FILEFIND Echo
          This is the International ALLFIX FileFind Echo moderated

FLAME
    National FLAME echo
         A general "no-holds-barred" echo for a heated discussion

         general attempt by all participants to argue/debate/bitch
         in an intelligent and lively way, though regression into
         ad hominem assaults ("personal attacks") and/or resorting
         to the exchange of insults is allowed, and quite likely:
         it is the *FLAME!* echo after all.  The echo is a place
         to blow off steam, or just plain get nasty if you find you
         can't get nasty anywhere else.

GEOWORKS
    Geoworks software conference.
          The Geoworks conference is meant for discussion of the
         GEOS operating system, as well as devices that use GEOS.
         Discussion will primarily concern GEOS as it runs on the
         PC or compatable computers.  This does not rule out discussion
         of GEOS on Commodore or Apple platforms, but it is secondary
         to GEOS on the PC.  Since New Deal, Inc. has distribution
         rights for the desktop version, and has renamed the software,
         discussion of GEOS as NDOS (New Deal Operating System) is
         on topic.  As a corollary, since GEOS/NDOS uses an underlying
         operating system such as DOS or OS/2 for file system access,
         and for the initial boot and launching, discussion of other
         operating systems will be on topic only as much as is needed
         to support GEOS.

         for themselves, resist pressures, learn how to resolve conflicts
         with- out violence, and understand how gangs and youth violence
         impact the quality of their lives. GREAT students discover
         for themselves the ramifications of gang and youth violence
         through structured exercises and interactive approaches
         to learning. The design and intent of the program is to
         decrease gang and youth violence across the nation. Users
         of this conference consist of police officers, persons involved
         in the GREAT Program, students, educators, and anyone else

HOLYSMOKE
    Religion Debate Echo
          "Holy Wars Come to YOUR Home Computer!"  HOLYSMOKE provides
         a a forum for the discussion and argument of religions and
         religious tenets and practices with a jaundiced eye.  HOLYSMOKE
         welcomes all debate on the pros and cons of religious indoctrination.
         Arguing as to whose religion (or lack of one) is best (and
         why) is welcome here so long as it doesn't degrade into
         mind-numbing scripture posting or endless "flame for the
         sake of flame" messages.  This echo also serves as a "dumping
         ground" for the dross whose messages are inappropriate in
         other religious or non-religious echos, such as HOLY_BIBLE
         variants, CHURCH&STATE, R_CATHOLIC, or A_THEIST.  "Give
         me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to
         breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
          Send these, the homeless, tempest-post to me, I lift my
         lamp beside the golden door!"  Contact [email protected] for

ICEUTILS
    ICEUTILS is the official Ice Technologies support echo.
         This is an international conference dealing specifically
         with the Ice utilities, produced by Jeremy Landvoigt. The
         utils include the following: IceBank, IceCBV, IceChat, IceEdit,
         IceMGR, IceNote and IceUser. PURPOSE: This echo has three
         main purposes: 1) to provide a discussion area where problems
         pertaining to the use of the Ice utilities may be raised
         and solved; 2) to provide Jeremy a means of announcing releases
         of new programs and new releases of existing products; 3)
         to provide registration & product information to sysops
         who use or are interested in using the Ice utilities. There
         are no restrictions governing who may access this echo,
         but generally it will only be of interest to (potential)
         sysops running RemoteAccess (and any BBS packages capable
         of running the Ice utilities). SCOPE: This echo is an international
         product support echo.

JAVAPROG
    Java computer language and environment -- programming
         The Java computer language shares a common ancestry with
         C++, but is intended to be a platform-independent lingua
         franca for sharing of executable resources across machines
         of dissimilar types and DESC architectures.  Java is particularly
         valuable among LAN-connected network computers and "thin
         clients."  While Java is frequently misunderstood as a technique
         for making fancy animations on web pages, its true power
         remains to be explored as an applications development environment.
          Therefore, discussion of Java packages, particularly the
         AWT (windowing toolkit), is strongly encouraged.  NOTE:
         Please use the JAVA echo for Java issues not specifically
         related to programming.

         agree to not commit the sins of over-posting, over-quoting

         all participants must raise their right hands each Monday
         evening at 1900 hours local time, while online.    The LurKolator
         Robot will count participants, and based upon sun and/or

         ROTFLMAO quotient, may or may not report results in the
         echo.    Participants who feel compelled to post should
         raise their left hands each Monday night at 1900 hours local
         time, while online to allow the LurKolator Robot to ascertain
         with minimal reference to databases, lists, compiltations
         and veiled threats from the moderator that they have weakened.

MAGICK

          Discussions of the practice and theory of what is often

          Both skepticism and advice are welcome.  Proseletyzing
         is not allowed.  This is NOT a Pagan or any other religion
         area.  Disscusion on religion can easily overwhelm an echo
         like this and should be taken to SACRED_MAGICK.  The founder
         of the echo uses and reserves the handle "Satan".  Off-topic
         and friendly chatter is directed to our sister echo, Occult
         Chatter (OCCULT_CHAT).  Otherwise, the only rules are:
         be not excessively annoying or easily excessively annoyed,
         stay on topic, and The Decisions Of The Moderator ([email protected])

MCMOO_SUPPORT
    McMoo Support echo
          McMoo (Master Control for Max and Outbound Observer) is
         a DOS program designed to monitor drive space and display
         Maximus and Binkley activity on a networked BBS system.
          McMoo should operate on any DOS system with or without
         a network.  It will also operate in a "host mode" allowing
         incoming data calls to be accepted, and it contains powerful
         event scheduling routines which provide the same level of
         control as most mailers (e.g. Binkley, Front Door) and will
         notify you upon receipt of up to 35 (user-defined) files.
         McMoo includes a powerful scripting language, offering automated
         control of virtually any aspect of McMoo, DOS, or any DOS
         program!

MILITIA

         A conference to discuss and debate issues related to State

         The goal of the Militia Conference is to enhance the ability
         of the average Citizen to understand their duties and responsibilities
         as it relates to the Milita and the protection of the Constitution
         of the United States and to bypass the mass media bias against
         Militia's.  We don't have radio and TV broadcast facilities,
         so we are using the phone company's "narrowcast" capability.
         We welcome your input and encourage you to use these resources.
         Militia's are not what the media decides they are, but rather
         a diverse group of reputable citizens with a common cause
         of protecting our Constitutional Rights and our country's
         heritage!   Description of Militia's from United States

MOOSECHAT
    Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat
          MooseChat is an echo for anyone who wants to attempt witty,
         humorous, or just plain silly messages. Many distinguished
         moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous
         Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush
         have all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A
         moose- like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not
         necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and
         political satire is often seen, but those attempting serious
         discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies.
         The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about
         the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have
         known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit
         more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

         nor enough data access nor data retention for the goals.
         Non-profit.  Look for open meetings and special topic teleconferences.
         Has private Networking for a Purpose echos & member activities.
         Membership in a Forty Plus group is not required, but membership

         Forty Plus group is. Access requires a FAX from your group
         to 40 Plus of MN... ask. FAX & voicemail at (612) 997-2146.

NO_MODERATOR!
    Who owns this echo?
          The Elist Keeper claims that the MODERATOR of RECORD owns
         the echo because his Robot DOCs say so.  The NAB's BOFAQ
         bestows the title of MODERATOR on the person who creates
         an echo.  Yet, the NAB won't accept a request to backbone
         the echo from that person if he chooses not to list himself
         as the echo moderator.  How can they claim that the person
         who creates the echo is the moderator and in the same breath
         refuse to accept the request from the person who created
         the echo?  What if there's no elisted moderator?  Who owns
         the echo?  The holder of the password or the moderator?
          Who has the final say, the Elist Keeper, the echo creator,
         the ZEC, the ZC or the users of the echo?  All this and
         more as the topic of discussion heats up and the Final Solution
         is determined when the echo is backboned.

OS2FORSALE
    Forum for buyers and sellers of OS2 compatable products
          A FORSALE echo with a specific theme, all merchandise must
         be compatable with OS2. Commercial postings will be allowed
         but spamming of huge numbers of posts in a row will be discouraged.
         Vendors who advertise products that are not compatable with
         OS2 will be asked to take their wares elsewhere. This echo
         is not intended to replace the OS2HW echo where discussion
         of what works and doesn't work takes place, but is to assist
         buyers and sellers of OS2 related products to find each
         other.  Keep the language clean.

OTHERNETS
    OtherNets: Information on Networks other than FidoNet
          The OTHERNETS echo has been established for the dissemination

         of some, such as AmberNet, EggNet, Signet and RBBS-NET.
         But, did you know a network exists for Star Trek fans? Or
         business users?  How about a network for those of the Christian
         Faith?  Have you heard of LCRNet? Paranet? CandyNet? Where
         can you find Netland Electronic Magazine? If you're interested
         in alternative networks, you'll want to participate in the
         OTHERNETS echo. THE list of othernetworks...NETSALL.ART
         is published weekly in OTHERNETS, and contact points for
         these networks are urged to join the echo. Posters in OTHERNETS
         echo MUST be able to receive either Fido Netmail or InterNet
         E-Mail.  A sister echo, NETLINE may be used for detailed
         communications between members of the Othernets.

PAUL_REVERE

         A conference to discuss and debate issues related to our

         The goal of the Paul Revere Network is to enhance the ability
         of Second Amendment Activists to share information and ideas.
         An attempt, really, to bypass the mass media bias against
         firearms and their ownership.  We don't have radio and TV
         broadcast facilities, so we are using the phone company's
         "narrowcast" capability. We welcome your input and encourage
         you to use these resources. Moderated by Leroy Pyle, firearms
         instructor and retired police officer. Pro-Gun cops are
         welcome and encouraged to participate. Firearms Training
         -- The ULTIMATE GrassRoots Activity!

         join us in the largest Poetry Conference on FidoNet! Created
         on February 14th, 1993 this echo is designed for poets to
         share poetry, ideas, challenges, critiques, & friendships.
         The forum also encourages publishing and includes poetry
         discussions of contemporary poets as well as poets from
         the past. Poetic work is not limited to specific forms,
         and growth in all forms--rhymed and unrhymed, regular or
         irregular--is enjoyed. We are always looking for new poetry
         and encourage discussion of the mechanics as well as the
         writer's philosophy of poetry. The growing number of poets
         in this conference always welcomes new writers, published
         or not. Distribution of the POETRY_WORKSHOP echo is provided
         via the FidoNet Backbone to the entire U.S., Canada, New
         Zealand as well as India, Germany and the UK! Hope to see

PROCHEF
    Recipes, foods, cookery ideas, etc
          PROCHEF is an international conference, initially set up

         area in which to exchange information about recipes, foodstuffs,
         kitchen utensils and the like.  In just the same way that
         it is acceptable to chat about things other than food while
         sitting drinking a cup of coffee in the kitchen, so it is
         acceptable to chat about other things here as long as the
         balance is not lost.  The deciding factor will be whether
         (in the moderator's judgement) such chats are in danger
         of changing the emphasis of the conference.

         of online communications for the general public.  The Council

         people worldwide in organizing ideas and actions to jointly
         facilitate the promotion and success of all BBSs.  Bulletin

         the Quik utilities. There are no restrictions governing

         of interest to (potential) sysops running QuickBBS, ProBoard,
         Maximus, RemoteAccess (and any BBS packages capable of running

QUIK_BAS
    QuickBASIC Programming Echo
          This echo is for use by those who program in BASIC, with
         particular emphasis on the QuickBASIC programming language
         by Microsoft Corporation.  Discussion of other dialects
         of BASIC is permitted, though discussion of Power Basic
         should be directed to the POWER_BAS echo and discussion
         of Visual Basic to the VISUAL_BASIC echo.  The echo is carried
         internationally and its participants are scattered throughout
         the world.  As such, and since international calling is
         expensive, off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced.
          Members of the conference include many individuals who
         are very experienced in the use of QuickBASIC including
         those who have written a variety of QuickBASIC related utilities.
          New members and novice users are welcome and encouraged
         to share their experiences and opinions.

RIGHTS
    Gender Rights and Equality
         Egalitarianism, equality of the sexes. The Feminist movement

SACRED_MAGICK
    Magick and it's Mythos and Spiritualities.
         SACRED_MAGICK is for the discussion of Magickal Practices,
         and the Sacred Mythologies and Spiritualities that are incorperated
         by them.  An all-too-common trend in today's mysticism is
         to disconnect Magick from anything "supernatural" or religious
         in nature-  linking it instead mainly to such things as
         psychology and quantum physics.  While those views have
         their merit, I have chosen to make this echo as a home to
         those who accept the Spirits, Gods, Angels, etc of their
         systems as very real, and Magick as an actual art of dealing
         with supernatural Forces and Energies for effect on the
         real world of matter, not simply the mind and view- point
         of the Mage.  We are looking for discussion of Magick from
         a more "Religio-Mystical" perspective rather than a technical
         one. All faiths are welcome and will be discussed CENTERING
         around their Magickal/Mystical aspects.  No "preaching",
         "conversion tactics", or

SHIVAMBU_KALPA
    Uropathy: Water of Life
         The SHIVAMBU_KALPA Conference is a public forum for discussion

         the therapeutic uses of urine. Urine therapy has a long

         conference is intended to discuss the historical practices
         of urine therapy and whether there are applications for

         society there are often many negative associations with
         the human body and the byproducts of the body -- this too
         may be a subject for this conference. No medical claims
         can, or should, be made here. (Began 10/93)

TEEN

          An International forum for youth from ages of 13 to 25

         in this echo are very limited, as the readers of the echo
         do a very good job telling other people what "they" consider
         to be readable, and what they consider to be annoying. If
         a problem occurs, or a complaint is recieved in this echo,
         netmail should be sent to Jay Fuller at 1:3607/22 as soon
         as possible. Note to SysOp: If you have a caller that is
         too young for this echo, please direct them to the KIDS
         echo A Compatable echo for older people would be the YOUNG_ADULT
         echo.  Please Note, I'm going to be trying to create another
         related echo this summer for people who met via teen echo,
         and they're now becoming too old to participate in Teen.
         Please support me on this effort. Thanks. - Jay Fuller,

TREK_FAN_ORG
    Star Trek fan organization discussions
         Did you know that there _are_ Star Trek fan organizations
         out there? They have names like Starfleet Command, STARFLEET,
         the International Federation of Trekkers, The Federation,
         Klingon Assault Group, and Klingon League of Attack Warriors.
         These organizations have all kinds of imaginary Starships,
         Starbases, and Outposts, but they all have _one_ thing in
         common - they all have real, LIVE members in them! These
         fan clubs are all over the world! If you want to talk _about_
         Star Trek, you'll be directed towards one of the other Star
         Trek discussion echos. The TREK_FAN_ORG echo will have only
         one purpose in mind - if you want to find out more about
         any local Star Trek fan group or world-wide organization,
         then _this_ is the place to ask! As of February 1995, this
         echo is on the Z1 BackBone! But, other Networks _will_ be
         allowed to Gate this echo to their systems.

TVRO
    Satellite Television Receive Only Echo
         The Satellite TV Echo is the Fido forum for a wide range
         of topics.  Like other hobbies the more you know the  better
         off you are.  Being a smart TVRO consumer means  avoiding
         bad hardware purchases and poor TV services!  Is it just
         dish talk?  Not really.  Satellite TV is very  related to
         cable television (CATV) and direct broadcast  satellite
         (DBS/DSS).  Therefore, along with conversations  involving
         dish hardware and software, you will find discussions on
         how the cable industry and the evolving direct broadcast
         satellite industry are affecting what we dish owners see
         and buy.  The issue of scrambling and video piracy is a
         topic covered by the TVRO Echo but NO posting of pirate
         decoder codes are allowed !! This is the place to receive
         an education about TVRO.

WHOLLY_BIBLE
    Biblical discussions and related topics
          An echo for the discussion of Bible topics and themes,
         with a focus on Scriptural basis for ideas. This echo is
         for Christian discussion and not for debating whether Christianity
         is valid or not. Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew scholars welcomed,
         as we consider correct interpretation to be important for
         correct doctrinal beliefs. This echo is dedicated to supplying
         a place to discuss Biblically, without the name-calling
         and one-sided approach that is prevalent in other echos.
         We understand that different points of view and doctrines
         are out there, and feel that if necessary, then all concerned
         need to "agree to disagree" and then to drop the discussion
         for the time being.

X-FILES

         relevant to the show, such as episode plots, characters,
         episode titles and credits, and of course, the scientific
         accuracy of some of the issues the show raises, as well
         as the feasability of just how true some of the premises
         of the episodes can be. Sideline discussions of UFO's and
         paranormal phenomena (as they relate to the show) will also
         be allowed, as will messages concerning trading, buying,
         or the offering for sale of X-Files merchandise and collectables,
         as for many people, this is part of their expression of
         famdom of the show.  (This will not, however, be the main
         theme of the echo.)

XENA:WP
    Gathering place for fans of the hit show Xena Warrior P
          This would be a place for those that watch the insanely

         is a weekly program set in ancient Greece and is based in
         a pre-Christian society.  As the titles say: "In a time
         of ancient Gods, warlords and kings..."  This would be a
         place where those that perhaps do not have Internet access
         One of the primary Newsgroups for this show sports 200+
         messages per day. This would be a great new echo for anyone's
         BBS, and is sure to attract a lot of attention.
