Coordinator: Harold G. Ancell <HGA at MIT-MC>

ARPANET-BBOARDS at MIT-ML

Redistribution address for all known BBoards on the ARPANET. Due to past
problems with messages deemed in bad taste by "the authorities", messages
sent to this address are manually screened (generally, every couple of days)
before being remailed to the BBoards.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to ARPANET-BBOARDS-REQUEST at MIT-ML.

Coordinator: Glenn S. Burke <GSB at MIT-ML>

Astronomy Events <koolish at BBN-UNIX>

As mailing list for astronomical events and meeting announcements (mostly in
the Boston area). Items to be sent to the list are sent to koolish@BBN-UNIX
for forwarding. An attempt is being made to keep it from becoming full of
trivial messages, but new readers and valid input are welcome.

Coordinator: Dick Koolish <koolish at BBN-UNIX>

AVIATION at MIT-AI

Open to all interested in general commercial or military aviation.

Archieves are kept on MIT-MC in files:

USERS6;PS AVARCi
i=0,1,2 (in chronological order)

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to AVIATION-REQUEST at MIT-AI or PS at MIT-MC.

Coordinator: Pete Seissler <PS at MIT-MC>

BANKING at MIT-ML

The Banking List is an interest group to discuss the banking industry as it
is and as it could be, especially including but not limited to the impact of
computer technology. Topics of interest might include EFT security,
technical details of existing and future systems, rate structures, policies,
and regulatory climates.

The archive is contained in MIT-ML file COMMON;BANK ARCHIV.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to Banking-Request at MIT-ML.

Coordinator: Neal Feinberg <Feinberg@MIT-OZ>

CHESS at SRI-UNIX

This newsgroup is shared with the UUCP-network. Contributions can be
submitted by sending to CHESS@SRI-UNIX (and also the aliases CHESS@MIT-MC
and CHESS@MIT-AI).

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to CHESS-REQUEST at SRI-UNIX (sending to CHESS-REQUEST
on MC and AI forwards it correctly).

Coordinator: mclure at SRI-UNIX

CLUSTER at BRL

Discussion of DARCOM Cluster Computers, and related issues. List membership
is restricted to DARCOM employees and selected contractors.

Coordinator: Foster Walker <FWalker@BRL>
<FWalker@DARCOM-HQ>

COMICS-LOVERS at SRI-NIC

This list will attempt to cover all aspects of the comics, a subsection that
has been sorely neglected by SF-LOVERS (No downplay on that list; it is
merely that comics fans represent only a small faction on that list.)
Initially, this list will be an immediate distribution list, although it may
soon grow into a digest.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to COMICS-LOVERS-REQUEST at SRI-NIC.

Coordinator: Henry W. Miller <Miller at SRI-NIC>

CUBE-LOVERS at MIT-MC

The Rubik's Cube mailing-list. Much of the information in the Scientific
American article was presented in Cube-Lovers first; also many mathematical
discussions have taken place as well as the development of a cube notation
and various transformations used to solve it. Recently the discussion has
moved towards puzzling in general.

Messages are archived in the files
MIT-MC:ALAN;CUBE MAIL(0 1 2 ...)
with the most recent messages in
MIT-MC:ALAN;CUBE MAIL

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to CUBE-LOVERS-REQUEST at MIT-MC.

Coordinator: Alan Bawden <ALAN at MIT-MC>

Dolphin-Users at SUMEX-AIM

Network user group for Xerox 1100 workstations (Dolphins). It's purpose is
to stimulate communication and sharing between computer science research
groups that are using or are interested in these machines. It differs from
the WORKS group in that it will focus on issues particular to Dolphins
rather than on workstations in general.

Xeros PARC and EOS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance issues,
etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is \not/ to be used
as a vendor advertising vehicle.

Messages will be sent to the list as submitted. Depending on the volume of
mail, content, etc., messages may be collected and digested in the future.

Archive of messages is kept on SUMEX-AIM at
<X-INFO>DOLPHIN-USERS.ARCHIVE

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to Dolphin-Requests at SUMEX-AIM.

HUMAN-NETS at RUTGERS

Mailing list originally consisting of the combined memberships of
INFO-PCNET, HOME-SAT, and TELETEXT mailing lists. Human-Nets has discussed
many topics, all of them related in some way to the theme of a world-wide
computer and telecommunications network usually called WorldNet. The topics
have ranged very widely, from something like tutorials, to state of the art
discussions, to rampant speculation about technology and its impact. The
list is extremely large, making it necessary to batch messages sent to the
list and distributing them once each day during off peak periods to avoid
overloading the system.

[For further information, see the 110-line "Welcome to Human-Nets"
message in OFFICE-3 public file <ALMSA>HUMAN-NETS-WELCOME.TXT]

The permanent archives contain all of the material distributed to the list.
Due to size, this archive is broken down into several different files,
stored in reverse temporal order. The file names and contents of the files
are:

On USC-ECLB:

INFO-ADA at MIT-MC

DoD faces many of the same sorts of problems in their command and control
systems as those being discussed in Human-Nets. One part of DoD's attempt
to deal with these problems was to have a new programming language designed,
Ada. Because it is a narrower topic than Human-Nets, this list has been set
up to facilitate discussions of Ada. Anything dealing with Ada is fair game
for discussion.

Archives of messages can be found in INFOA.LST[C410MS40] on CMU-10A.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-ADA-REQUEST at MIT-MC.

INFO-PC at USC-ISIB

Info-PC is a forum for discussion of the IBM Personal Computer and related
8086/8088/PC-DOS/CPM-86 micro-computers. Info-PC provides a way for
interested members of the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions,
and share insights about these machines. Messages are collected into
digests and distributed as the volume of mail dictates.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PC-REQUEST at USC-ISIB.

Coordinator: Dick Gillmann (GILLMANN at USC-ISIB)

INFO-PCNET at MIT-MC

INFO-PCNET is a general mailing list to keep interested people advised of
major developments.

NOTE: Due to NCP-->TCP switchover and lack of working TCP software at
MIT-MC (KLH is working hard at it and might get it done in time, in which
case this note will be inoperative), this mailing list will probably
cease to exist temporarily starting Jan 01. Because of lack of working
TCP software at SU-AI and other places, even if MIT-MC has TCP working,
many of the active PCNET workers will be inactive until these other
places get TCP working.

PCNET is a volunteer effort creating a computer network for personal use.
Although meant to be device independent, the current design is oriented to
use through the telephone system, particularly by computers with automatic
dialing and receipt of calls. PCNET will enable all computer users, whether
part of a formal network organization or individual owners of personal
computers, to communicate with each other effectively. PCNET is defining
communication protocols that assure that transmissions are correct
(retransmitting data that is lost or erroneous), and which allow multiple
logical data streams so that several programs can share a single hardware
communication link. PCNET has defined a worldwide addressing standard that
permits automatic forwarding of messages and files without having to know
the topology of the network.

PCNET is currently finising software on several machines (8080, 6502,
PDP-10) using several languages (Assembly language, LISP, C), and refining
the documentation; volunteer communications programmers are needed to
complete these tasks.

Documentation is available on MIT-MC in the file:
PCNET;INTRO >
and also some info in:
PCNET;VOLUN MSG
[the file sent out to new members of the mailing list]

David Harris is the organizational leader and is in charge of releasing
documents to the public:

82, so these files are fairly empty.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-PRINTERS-REQUEST at MIT-MC.

Coordinator: Steven E. Hillson <SEH at MIT-MC>

INFO-RSTS at MIT-OZ

INFO-ZX at CMU-20C

Discussion of subjects relating to the Timex/Sinclair 1000/ZX80/ZX81. This
will be an immediate distribution list as long as the volume of traffic
doesn't bother other CMUC users. Users may submit programs for others to
share by FTPing them into [CMU-20C]PS:<ZX.PROG> using user anonymous. This
will probably not be too useful until modems for the Sinclair are readily
available.

Messages will be archived on CMU-20C in file:
PS:<ZX>ZX.MESSAGES

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to INFO-ZX-REQUEST at CMU-20C.

LIST-OF-LISTS

Mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices.

There is a master list of ARPANET mailing-lists/digests/discussion groups
(~800 lines or ~29,000 characters) on OFFICE-3 in file:

<ALMSA>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
For ARPANET users, OFFICE-3 supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login
within FTP, with any password.

To keep people up to date on the large number of such lists, there is a
mailing-list for list-of-lists \update notices/. Copies of the list itself
are not sent to the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who
seriously intend to FTP the updated versions when updated, a brief notice
will be sent when a new version is available. For those liaisons at
internet sites who maintain or redistribute copies for their own networks
(DECNet, Xerox, etc.) and can't reach the master by ARPANET FTP, the
complete new file will be sent if necessary. File copies will \not/ be sent
to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.

To get on the list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add
new ones), send requests to:

Rich Zellich <ZELLICH at OFFICE-3>

LOCAL-NETS at MIT-MC

Sharing experience with local networking projects between sites currently
involved in or soon to attempt such projects; basically a very
praxis-oriented discussion about networking -20's, VAXen, and -11's.

POLI-SCI at MIT-AI

POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after
the November (1980) election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that
electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion
continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began
to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the
nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their
spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list
was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to
consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon
presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity,
the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull
session).

ProtocolS at RUTGERS

This list is designed to promote discussion of the various existing FTP
protocols for async-ascii-serial-lines and any kind of computer/OS. The
eventual goal is to devise (and implement) an all-purpose standard protocol
for FTP.

Message log/archives are kept at RUTGERS in files:

PS:<PLEASANT.PROTOCOL>PROTOCOLS.OLD Pre-digest to 30 Mar 82
PS:<PLEASANT.PROTOCOL>PROTOCOLS.RECENT Digest 30 Mar 82 to present

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to ProtocolS-REQUEST at RUTGERS.

Coordinator: Mel Pleasant <Pleasant at RUTGERS>

RAILROAD at MIT-MC

Information and discussion of transportation issues (inter and intra city)
with emphasis on rail transportation. This group also discusses or
announces items of interest to the so-called "railfan" community (I.e.
excursion announcements, etc). Some model railroad discussion also takes
place.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to RAILROAD-REQUEST at MIT-MC (ARPANET).

Coordinator: Michael S. Maiten <MSM at MIT-MC> (ARPANET)
!ucbvax!menlo70!sytek!msm (USENET)

SCTV at SRI-UNIX (ARPANET)
[or MIT-AI or MIT-MC]
net.sctv (USENET)

Mailing-list for SCTV fans.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SCTV-REQUEST at SRI-UNIX (or MIT-AI or MIT-MC).

The list is archived at MIT-OZ in the twenex mail file
OZ:SRC:<COMMON>SELF-ORGANIZATION-ARCHIVES.TXT.1

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SELF-ORGANIZATION-REQUEST at MIT-MC (or
SELF-ORG-REQUEST at MIT-MC).

SF-CONS-LIST

Mailing-List for SF Conventions listing update notices.

There is a master SF cons list (~900 lines or ~40,000 characters, including
geographic cross-reference) on OFFICE-3 in file:

<ZELLICH>CONS.TXT
For ARPANET users, OFFICE-3 supports the net-standard ANONYMOUS login
within FTP, with any password.

In order to proliferate the list more quickly, there is a mailing list for
cons-list \update notices/. Copies of the cons list itself are not sent to
the world at large, but for those ARPANET users who seriously intend to FTP
the updated versions every few weeks, a brief notice will be sent when a new
version is available. For those liaisons at internet sites who maintain or
redistribute copies for their own networks (DECNet, Xerox, etc.), the
complete new file will be sent out if necessary. File copies will \not/ be
sent to individual users, either ARPANET or internet.

Update notices/file copies can be expected approximately once a month,
generally shortly after the current LOCUS comes out. Besides LOCUS, other
sources of cons are ANALOG, IA'sSFM, STARLOG, occasional flyers picked up at
cons by local fen, and anything sent to the list maintainer.

To get on the update-notices list (or to submit con updates), send requests
to:

Rich Zellich <ZELLICH at OFFICE-3>

SF-LOVERS at SRI-CSL

Science Fiction lovers. SF-LOVERS has discussed many topics, all of them
related in some way to the theme of science fiction or fantasy. The topics
have ranged very widely from rewritten stories, bad SF movies, and SF
conventions to reviews of STAR WARS and HEAVY METAL. The range of topics is
quite wide and anyone is welcome to submit material on these or other topics
of interest in this general area.

The digest has a very large number of readers, and trivial messages are
strongly discouraged due to the heavy load SF-LOVERS puts on the hosts CPU
and disk space. Messages to SF-LOVERS@SRI-CSL are batched and broadcast
once a day.

The complete SF-LOVERS archives are available on SRI-CSL. Each volume is
contained in its own file, with the contents ordered chronologically. The
first archive includes a number of messages from the early days before
digests and there is much of "historical" interest. At the end of that
volume is a long discussion which took place during the Star Wars series
craze.

<SFL>ARCHIVE.V1 860 2200759
<SFL>ARCHIVE.V2 771 1972324
<SFL>ARCHIVE.V3 741 1895294
<SFL>ARCHIVE.V4 705 1803432
<SFL>ARCHIVE.V5 323 824576
<SFL>ARCHIVE.V6 390 996707
For those unfamiliar with Tenex/Tops-20, the first number is the number
of Tenex disk pages, the second is the number of characters in the file,
for checksumming purposes if you FTP the file. Volume 6 is the current
volume so it is being incremented daily as new digests come out.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to SF-LOVERS-REQUEST at SRI-CSL.

Coordinator: S. W. Galley <SWG at MIT-XX>

SPACE at MIT-MC

Discussions (daily digest) on space-related topics.

Archives are kept on [S1-A]SPACE.LOG[SPA,OTA], which, unfortunately, does
not allow FTP without login. Requests for back issues should be directed to
SPACE-REQUEST at MIT-MC.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., also go to SPACE-REQUEST at MIT-MC.

TCP-IP at MIT-AI [or at BRL] (ARPANET)
!menlo70!hao!brl-bmd!tcp-ip (UUCP/USENET)

A digest which discusses TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP
(Internet Protocol), the "DoD Standard Networking Protocols for the
Eighties". Submissions generally center around UNIX implementations, but
ANY networking protocol or implementation discussions too specific for
HUMAN-NETS is fair game here; the digest includes discussions of mail
protocols and addressing in the InterNet environment, and a little about
non-TCP/IP based networking.

Archives are kept at the Rutgers host in: <TCP>MAIL.TXT

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to TCP-IP-REQUEST at MIT-AI [or at BRL] (ARPANET) or
!menlo70!hao!brl-bmd!tcp-ip-request (UUCP/USENET).

Coordinator: Mike Muuss <mike at BRL>

TCP-IP at SRI-NIC

The NIC has taken over the responsibility for the periodic update of the
TCP-IP status (the latest update can be obtained via FTP by ANONYMOUS login
from SRI-NIC file <PROTOCOLS>TCP-IP-STATUS.TXT). We are particularly
interested in the addition and expansion of TCP services. In addition to
this function, it is hoped that this distribution list can aid in the
following areas:

To act as an on-line exchange among TCP developers and maintainers.

To announce new and expanded services in a timely manner.

This is an open membership list, and any interested party with a legitimate
need can be added. A few words of warning: Please do not use this open
forum to discuss matters which should be construed as to be for limited
distribution; use private messages, if need be.

It is hoped that this forum will help the network reach transition by the
required date. Should you have any questions, please send electronic mail
to the Coordinator, or call (415) 859-5303.

Also see mailing-lists TCP-IP-TOPS20, TCP-IP-UNIX, TCP-IP-VMS.

All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions,
etc., should be sent to TCP-IP-REQUEST at SRI-NIC. Please do \not/ send
such requests to TCP-IP@SRI-NIC, as this addres is self forwarding to the
entire list membership.

Coordinator: Henry W. Miller <Miller at SRI-NIC>
