Amiga SysOp's Discussion/ADS Echo                                   AMIGA_SYSOP
         The International Amiga SysOp Echoconference was founded to be a
         hotline and clearing house for Bulletin Board Operators who support
         the Amiga Computer.  Here you may inquire about the existance (and
         nearest location) of Amiga-related Echoconferences.  Looking for a
         specific file (and issuing warnings about those containing viri,
         trojans, and/or commercial software), compatability problems between
         modems and mailers, user/file validation techniques, problems and last
         but not least, how to keep your sanity while doing all of the above
         will be considered valid discussion techniques.  In addition, this
         echo is to serve as the 'general chatter' communications device for
         all nodes connected to the Amiga_Software Distribution System (ADS).
         This echo is for SYSOP's ONLY, and is NOT to be available in any way,
         shape, or form to the general userbase.

         compatible systems components which has generated a lot of
         word-of-mouth interest in the echo area. It has to be seen to be Due
         to the auction content, some special rules apply echo. For this
         reason, we recommend file requesting from 1:100/633 to read the rules
         before connecting echo itself, and the posting of rules to callers

A_Theism Education and Enlightenment Echo                              A_THEIST
         Operates as an independent forum for free thought and with the
         understanding that the Constitutional separation of State and church
         is not only desirable but absolutely mandated by the U.S.
         Constitution and works 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 their attempt to
         undermine the government of these United States of America by
         continuously striving to inject its dogma and doctrine into the U.S.
         and State and Local governments.

BBS News Service                                                           BBNS
         An echo that provides users with a medium for the publication of
         newsletters, bulletins, notices, and such other publishing activities
         that are appropriate to the editors intention.  The echo attempts to
         emulate a national news wire for bbs'ers without limiting content to
         one topic.  As such it appeals to clubs and organizations who need to
         reach a larger audience without the burden of postal administration.
         The echo encourages journalism by providing a publishing opportunity.

Catholic Information Network Ask Father                          CIN_ASK_FATHER
         The purpose of this conference from the Catholic Information Network
         is to provide a Question & Answer forum between a Catholic Priest (Fr.
         Mateo) and anyone who wishes to know more about the Catholic Church
         and its teachings. This is one of CIN's most popular and informative
         conferences. By its very nature, this conference has light traffic
         since the answers tend to be well researched and complete - thus
         limiting the number of questions which Fr. Mateo can answer at any one
         time.  GTnet Tag Name is E00/501.

Coffee Lover's Conference                                                COFFEE
         The COFFEE echo is for coffee drinkers.  This includes folks who
         fussily grind their own imported beans, worry about getting the
         correct carmel on their expresso to the folks who chug down a couple
         mouthfuls of instant coffee crystals first thing in the morning.  And
         everyone in between.  We're talking about coffee, not coffee cake,
         coffee snacks, etc. (There is a fine backbone echo, COFFEE_KLATSCH,
         for that purpose).  Ok, we can occaisionally talk about tea... but
         don't go overboard. Possible Topics can include: Brewing techniques;
         How you like _YOUR_ coffee (styro cup, mug, fresh bean, instant, etc);
         Any technical expertise any of us can offer (water decaffination,
         brewing time, half-life of brewed coffee, etc); All the different
         varieties, roasts, etc; 5.  New trends (eg the new "drive-through"
         expresso shops; How other folks drink their coffee (from Amity, Oregon
         to Europe, Saudi Arabia, etc); Where is the _BEST_ coffee (eg Twin
         Peaks) available (in your personal and biased opinion)

CONSULTING                                                           CONSULTING
         CONSULTING EchoMail conference is an international forum for
         management and technology consultants with a variety of specialties.
         It is _not_ a general "help" echo. Some of the topics which are
         appropriate in this forum are: operation of a consulting practice,
         finding clients, getting contracts and getting paid, networking with
         other consultants, setting fees, starting a new practice and ethical
         issues pertaining to consulting.  Technical questions may be more
         properly directed to echos where they will be considered "on-topic".

Employment and Job Conference                                              JOBS
         The JOBS echo is for discussion of employment related issues.  This
         can include practically anything that is job related.  Almost anything
         that is about your current job or getting a job is acceptable.  It is
         also appropriate to post a resume or job offerings.  Discussion that
         is not job related, or job related discussions that get off topic
         (such as religion, politics, personal life styles, drugs, human
         rights, etc.) are not appropriate in this echo.

Entrepreneur conference                                            ENTREPRENEUR
         The conference tag for this conference was formerly mis-spelled as
         ENTREPRENUER prior to June 12, 1991.  This conference is for those who
         own their own business or who are are self-employed, or would like to
         be.  We also talk about various money-making opportunities, legal
         matters, and other topics of interest to those who are in business for
         themselves.  It is not intended for the discussion of Multi-Level
         Marketing, therefore, to help keep these topics separated, we request
         that sysops who carry ENTREPRENEUR also consider carrying the MLM
         conference (please see the entry for the MLM conference).

Human Sexuality                                                       SEXUALITY
         The Human Sexuality Echo is dedicated to the discussion of topics of
         human sexuality in a serious and con- DESC sidered matter. This is not
         a risque echo but a serious attempt to encourage dissemination of
         information and to encourage discussion of the sexual activities,
         prac- tices and concerns of our society.  This base is not intended to
         preserve Victorian concepts of human sexuality.

InterNational Teenagers' EchoConference (INTEC)                            TEEN
         The latest in 'Minors' related conferences, which has participants
         both nationally and internationally.  This echo is devoted to teens,
         for teens, and by teens.  Most general topics, pen-pal'ish messages
         where the participants have FUN with others their own age group.  This
         echo was created so as to give teens the feeling that they're not
         alone, and there's others like them in the world (as well as give them
         another hobby ;).  ALL systems with teenagers (We accept ages
         13-20something) are welcome to the echo.

         discussion and as a support group, where resources, advice, and ideas
         can be shared.  Conference is INTENDED to be open to the public on
         systems that carry it, but may, of course, be placed in a private
         area.

         company with a job opening, or by a professional recruiting company
         which has been hired to fill the opening. Professional recruiters,
         however, should be sensitive to the feelings of net users and adhere
         to the guidelines for posting.  JOBS-NOW is not a discussion group or
         a group for posting resumes.  It is acceptable to repost offerings
         from other areas or to post offerings "second hand" if they are
         verifiable and bonafide.  Multi-Level Marketing, "Pyramid" schemes,
         and any "job" that requires an up-front investment are not allowed.
         JOBS-NOW has strict and detailed conference rules, which should be
         read before posting any messages

Macintosh Entertainment & Education Echo                              MAC_GAMES
         Since the release of the Macintosh, Apple has sought to establish it
         as a business machine, going out of its way to describe its Apple II
         line as the education/entertainment machine.  This echo is dedicated
         to the transmission of information about the entertainment and
         educational qualities of the Mac, information not readily found in IBM
         type gaming magazines, and increasingly neglected by MacUser/MacWorld.
         Welcome in this echo are: games reviews, information about new
         releases and upgrades of entertainment/educational software, posts
         about software for sale, and gaming strategies and hints.  Lobbying
         for your favorite games, and critical comparisons of software are
         welcome, for example Wizardry vs Might & Magic, Typing Tutor vs Type!,
         etc.

National Flame! Echo                                                      FLAME
         A general "no-holds-barred" echo for a heated discussion and debate
         about almost anything you care to Flame about! The echo can get quite
         nasty and "hot," but there is a 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 obscenities and insults is allowed, and quite likely: it
         is the *FLAME!* echo after all.  The echo is completely *UNCENSORED*,
         has few (if any) rules and exists for one and all to blow off steam,
         or just plain get nasty if you find you can't get nasty anywhere else.
         Do not go gently into Flame: it's NOT for the weak of heart (or mind!)

Net Help Echo                                                          NET_HELP
         The Net Help Echo (NET_HELP) provides help for all software and
         hardware used by BBS's, Mail Only systems, and points.  This echo is
         designed to give support when other sources of help cannot be found.
         Hopefully this echo will draw those off-topic messages on other
         support echos that do not relate to the products supported. [WARNING -
         DUE TO UPDATE AGE THIS ENTRY WILL BE DROPPED FROM THE NEXT ECHOLIST]

Network Help Echo                                                 NET_HELP_ECHO
         NET_HELP_ECHO used to be NET_HELP, but was changed due to a CRC
         problem with QMAIL and the 4DOS echo.  It is for assistance, advice,
         questions, answers, etc.  that relate your system to the network.  It
         is a must for people who are developing mail software or attempting
         new things (point nets, additional addresses, etc.) The people here
         are extremly helpful and have a wide variety of system setups.

         the echo read-only if they prefer.  This echo is not meant for
         conversation, instead trying to be purely news and information.  ANEWS
         is distributed on the Zone 1 backbone.  ANEWS also has a 'sister' echo
         called ANEWS_CHAT for discussions of the various news presented in
         ANEWS.

OtherNets: Information on Networks other than FidoNet                 OTHERNETS
         The OTHERNETS echo has been established for the dissemination of
         information about "OtherNets".  OtherNets are the multiple alternative
         networks other than Fidonet.  Many of us know of some, such as
         Alternet, EggNet, SigNet and RBBS-NET.  But did you know a network
         exists for Star Trek fans?  Or Macintosh sysops?  How about a network
         for those of the Christian faith? Have you heard of MetroNet?  LCRNet?

         of it as a "Letters to the Editor" column you can answer. Heavy
         debating, not for tender sensibilities. If you are going to get really
         mad at someone who disagrees with you, you don't belong here.  In
         fact, you are almost guaranteed to have someone disagree with you
         here. Minimal, bottom-line only interference from the moderator as
         long as discussions stay on topic and things don't get too out of
         hand.

         The Public Psychology Conferences, is an EchoMail area intended for
         the discussion of Psychology by the General Public.  Please remember
         when you are discussing subjects here, that this area is intended for
         the lay person.  Using terms which have to be explained, is
         detrimental to the purpose of this Conference, for they inhibit
         general communication.  FLAMES or OFF TOPIC MESSAGES and excessive
         quoting increase the cost of EchoMail, please be considerate of the
         Sysop who is paying the bill.

         Greetings, half-wits!  To wit: this area has been created for you to
         relieve yourselves of all that pent-up punnyness.  Let your inner self
         go, and pun with impunity.  There's one very strict rule of this
         conference, though: Each message entered "must" contain a pun, or it
         will be deleted.  That's right, folks, unbridled censorship.  This
         conference is available in both EchoMail and GroupMail formats.

Region 11 Amiga Conference                                            R11_AMIGA
         A Regional conference for the discussion of the Amiga Personal
         Computer. General discussion of all aspects of the Amiga are allowed
         here.  The idea of this echo was to give Region 11 SysOps wanting to
         carry a general Amiga echo a alternative to the AMIGA echo. The only
         restrictions in this conference are absolutely NO discussion of piracy
         or ANY illegal activities. I invite everyone to help get this off the
         ground!!!

Reproductive Rights (Choice) Issues                                REPRO_RIGHTS
         The usual reproduction equation is: get married, get pregnant, give
         birth, raise a child.  Alter even one part of that equation, and most
         of our society doesn't know how to deal with you.  Chances are, our
         government doesn't want to deal with your unique situation, either.
         That doesn't make YOU crazy; it just means THEY don't understand.  If
         you're interested in altering that equation, or if you're interested
         in legislation or bureaucracy that tries to make us conform our
         reproductive lives to their standards, join us.  This echo is intended
         to be a support group and a clearinghouse for information that affects
         our most personal family decisions.  An open mind and a willingness to
         tolerate others' choices is a prequisite for joining this conference.
         Contact Donna at 114/113.11 to establish links; we hope to be on the
         backbone before long.

Satellite Television Echo                                                  TVRO
         The TVRO echo is the place to be for anyone interested in satellite
         television.  For the novice, we discuss the types of satellite
         equipment available for the average homeowner, with advice from
         satellite dealers nationwide.  For the current dishowner, TVRO
         explores the politics that has moved this infant industry since its
         start in the early 1980's.  From the influence of cable television on
         dish owners to the issue of signal piracy, TVRO participants range
         from cable company officials to TVRO activists trying to reregulate
         the cable television industry which has been accused of keeping TVRO
         from being a competitive threat.  The 90's bring new topics to TVRO as
         well, from the new Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) services to fiber
         optic "Telco TV" and wireless cable.

SHAREWARE Software Products Discussion Forum                           SHAREWRE
         This echo is for use by those who are interested in discussing the
         various software programs which are distributed as shareware as well
         as the moral, ethical and philosophical issues surrounding shareware
         and its distribution.  "Shareware" is copyrighted software which is
         distributed by authors through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk
         vendors, and copies passed among friends. It is commercial software
         which you are allowed to try out before you pay for it. This
         conference also includes discussions about public domain, or PD
         software.  "Public domain" has a very specific legal meaning. It means
         that the creator of a work (in this case, a piece of software) who had
         legal ownership of that work, has given up ownership and dedicated the
         work "to the public domain".  Once something is in the public domain,
         anyone  can use it in any way they choose, and the author has no
         control over the use and cannot demand payment for it.  The echo is
         carried internationally and users of the echo are scattered throughout
         the world. As such, and since international calling is so expensive,
         off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced.  Members of the
         conference include many individuals who are very experienced in the
         use of shareare, including those who have written a variety of
         shareware utilities and programs.  New members and novice users are
         welcome and encouraged to share their experiences, opinions and
         questions.

Skeptical examination of paranormal claims                              SKEPTIC
         The skeptical and critical examination of paranormal claims such as
         psychic powers, UFOs, astrology, Bigfoot, biorhythms, crystals,
         satanic cults, fire walking, tarot cards -- et al -- will be examined
         and discussed in an intellectual environment.  Book reviews on
         fringe-science or paranormal topics will be requested and an over all
         discussion of all such books will be entertained.  Biographies of
         modern-day as well as historic cult leaders will be reviewed. Along
         the same lines, if any participating individual finds an amusing
         advertisement making unusually outrageous claims, that, too, will be
         examined.

Space Development Conference                                              SPACE
         This conference is for those interested in settling, exploring, and
         developing the final frontier.  Acceptable topics include space and
         its related sciences and technologies, plus relative political and
         industrial issues.  We are interested in the space development
         environment of the present and the near future, not scenarios so far
         into the future as to fall under science fiction.  Space is BIG, but
         the focus of this conference is tight.  While some chit-chat on
         physics, astrophysics, and astronomy is acceptable, discussions on HAM
         communications, extraterrestrials, UFOs, paranormal phenomena, future
         mutant humans are not.  The Space Development Conference is for
         activists and settlers, and most certainly for humans only.  It
         focuses on news and issues of current space development activity.

Stephen King Discussion                                                  S_KING
         This echo is devoted to the works of the author, Stephen King.  King
         is noted as the best modern day author of horror/science fiction, has
         sold millions of books world-wide, and has had many of his works
         adapted into movies and audio tapes.  This echo provides a forum where
         fans, critics, and the casual reader can discuss the author, his
         novels, short stories, new works expected, movies, trivia, etc,.
         Opinions are welcome, as is the pooling of information on King, and
         where to find those "hard to find" writings.  Though comparisons to
         other authors of the same genre is irrepressable, we do try to stay on
         topic!

Telix Users Information Exchange                                          TELIX
         This echo is for use by those who use or are interested in using the
         TELIX communications program produced by Exis, Inc.  The echo is
         carried internationally and users of the echo are scattered throughout
         the world. As such, and since international calling is so expensive,
         off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced.  Members of the
         conference include many individuals who are very experienced in the
         use of Telix, including those who have written a variety of Telix
         related utilities.  Script files are regularly entered and passed via
         the echo.  Several systems carrying the echo serve as repositories for
         the scripts which are transmitted via the echo.  New members and
         novice users are welcome and encouraged to share their experiences and
         opinions.

Victims of False Accusations of Abuse                                   VFALSAC
         Discussions of the tragedy of FALSELY being accused of child physical
         abuse, child sexual abuse, spouse abuse and other false domestic
         accusations, often in the context of ongoing litigative disputes over
         child custody.  Excesses and seizures of children by overzealous or
         malicious Child Protective Services workers. This echo is NOT for
         victims or perpetrators of actual abuse, but rather for those
         victimized by being FALSELY ACCUSED.  Although NOT connected
         officially with the nationwide VOCAL organization (Victims of Child
         Abuse Laws), this Echo deals with most of the topics in which VOCAL
         and similar local groups are involved.

Wholly Bible Related Discussions                                     HOLY_BIBLE
         Exploring the Christian Holy Bible. With so many "religions" teaching
         opposing doctrines while claiming to be representing "The Bible", many
         are deciding to look for themselves.  Unlike most of the other FIDO
         Bible Conferences, we will not practice the censorship of doctrines,
         opinions or ideas. (No profanity, lewdness, etc will be tolerated,
         though).  Doctrines will face "the Bible test" in an open forum, as
         well as general, Bible related discussion. (Non-denominational)

         with the Opus CBCS program (c) Wynn Wagner III.  The echo is carried
         internationally and users of the echo are scattered throughout the
         world. As such, and since international calling is so expensive,
         off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced.  Members of the
         conference include many individuals who are very experienced in the
         use of Opus, including those who have written a variety of Opus
         related utilities, as well as past and present developers of Opus
         itself.  Code fragments are regularly entered and passed via the echo.
         Several systems carrying the echo serve as repositories for the
         messages / code fragments which are transmitted via the echo.  New
         members and novice users are welcome and encouraged to share their
         experiences, opinions and questions.
