                            ===================

     ATTENTION   ECHOMAIL  COORDINATORS  AND  CONTACTS!   PLEASE  send
     updates to IFNA node 107/316  Deadline  for  the  next  issue  is
     3/1/87

                            ====================

     A  special condensed FidoNews Edition of Echomail Conference list
     will  be  released  monthly.   The  format   is   still   a   bit
     experimental.  For  now  it's  just  a  list of conference titles
     followed by the name or node of who to contact  if  you  want  to
     connect.

          The more complete format showing approximate traffic levels,
     all  Nets  carrying  each  conference,  and  the date of the last
     update is available as an ARCed file from  107/316  as  a  SEAdog
     File Request or by logon.

          If  you  are  interested in helping to distribute updates to
     ECHOnnn, contact:

                           Echo Conference Scribe
                           Thomas Kenny  107/316.

     We are HOPING for utilities to be written which will  update  the
     list  without  anyone  having  to do any work at all ..  and with
     noone paying any phone bill whatsoever to distribute it

     But,  until BIGMAGIC.EXE gets written,  we will  be  asking  Echo
     Conference  Coordinators  to  send  Netmail to 107/316 letting us
     know  the  Name  of  the  Conference,   who   carries   it,   the
     "AREA:????????"  name,  and  any information helpful to potential
     participants.  Then we'll type up the  list.  It's  a  crude  and
     inelegant method ... but it gets the job done.

                        ===========================

     When  the  "contact"  is  listed in parentheses it means that the
     conference is NOT currently  active  but  the  person  listed  is
     interested in STARTING a conference on the topic.
