| | The Echolist | |
| O | ============ | O |
| | | |
| O | The EchoList, or Elist, is published at the beginning of | O |
| | each month and is a listing of EchoMail Conferences as | |
| O | described and submitted by each conference's moderator. | O |
| | | |
| O | It provides a place for Moderators to advertise their | O |
| | conferences, both to people who would like to participate, | |
| O | and to those who route echo traffic. It is also a reference | O |
| | for distribution systems wishing to contact the Moderator of | |
| O | an echo, or wishing information about an echo's topics. | O |
| | | |
| O | The Echolist carries echo listings from various different | O |
| | Networks and distribution systems, including all Zones of | |
| O | Fidonet, and all such listings are welcomed. It is sponsored | O |
| | by the Fidonet Zone 1 Echomail Coordinator who appoints the | |
| O | Echolist Coordinator. | O |
| | | |
| O | The Echolist Coordinator | O |
| | ======================== | |
| O | | O |
| | The Echolist Coordinator is responsible for maintaining | |
| O | the Elist software and producing the Elist data and help | O |
| | files for distribution. These contain the answers to most | |
| O | commonly asked questions. | O |
| | | |
| O | Assistance with obtaining these files, understanding | O |
| | message formatting, update frequency, current status of an | |
| O | echo, and similar questions should be obtained from one of | O |
| | the following sources: | |
| O | | O |

| | The Format | |
| O | ========== | O |
| | | |
| O | In this file, if the phrase "DELETE WARNING" is written on | O |
| | the line immediately below an echo tag name, the echo's | |
| O | entry has not been updated for 5 months. If not updated | O |
| | prior to the next Echolist report (i.e. 6 months after the | |
| O | last update), the echo's entry will be deleted from this file. | O |
| | | |
| O | Duplicate conference tag names are not accepted for this file. | O |
| | | |
| O | The Contact | O |
| | =========== | |
| O | | O |
| | Due to time constraints, the Echolist Coordinator can not | |
| O | provide general information on Elist operation to | O |
| | individuals. Such information is in ELMOD and ELFAQ. | |
| O | | O |
| | Questions which can not be answered by the appropriate NEC | |
| O | or REC may be addressed to the Echolist Coordinator | O |
| | (Adrian Walker) at 1:1/201 by netmail or in the ECHOLIST echo. | |

374NITPICK
Net 374 Nitpicking Sysop Echo for Nitpicking Sysops
A non-Backbone Echo distributed via past or present members
for the purpose of microdebating non-important non-issues by
self-appointed local 'sealawyer-type' Sysops of Net 374 most of
whom have recently migrated into Net 374 from military bases or
other Nets where their foolishness went unchallenged.
This Echo serves to relieve the crap level from the real local
Sysop Echo [374SYSOP] where nitpickers previously plied their
dissatisfaction with FidoNet and Net 374 ops. It is modeled on
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.

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! Conversation will be restricted SOLELY to
questions and answer type dialogue and "HOW TO" (do a
search) will be posted weekly.

A_Theist - State/church separation & atheist information
A-theist means WITHOUT theists/theism in government. This Echo
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. Copies of past
traffic in the Echo are available in the sample file A_THEIST.ZIP

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
Visual Disabilities Echo
BlinkTalk is the original Fidonet echo for subjects of
interest to blind and visually impaired individuals. It 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 themselves
---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.
---Blowhards can be identified in FidoNet Echos by their
self-referential and circularly reinforcing rhetorical style as
well as the number of ad hominems per Echo message. Masters of
the 'Big Lie' school of revisionist history, Blowhards seldom
recognize themselves even upon detection and notification. Now,
they have their own Echo to pollute and in which they may be
blissfully content to continue fantacizing they have any inkling
of what FidoNet is or does. [But don't count on it.]

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.

CHILD
!!! DELETE WARNING !!!
Survivors of child abuse, information, and fellowship.
This echo is available for the discussion of child abuse as
it relates to survivors, victims, and concerned citizens.
Participants are encouraged to share their experience, love, and
understanding in fellowship with those recovering from the effects of
childhood trauma. Information, referrals, and legal discussions as they
relate to child abuse are also encouraged. This echo is not affiliated
with any government, state or local agencies, and participants in crisis
or knowing of a child in a crisis situation are encouraged to notify
their government or state agency and report the situation IMMEDIATELY!
Professionals that participate in the echo are encouraged to exchange
information, referrals, and their understanding however, consultations
& professional advice is strongly discouraged. Because the survival
of child abuse affects day to day living, participants are encouraged
to share about their struggles and feelings. This allows for a less
restrictive adherence to the topic of child abuse, while still
maintaining a recovery-oriented atmosphere. Sysops are asked to allow
participants to use their first name and last initial to maintain
anonymity, but the use of aliases is NOT PERMITTED. Quoting is
beneficial to most responses, but excessive quoting (more than six
lines before responding) is considered OFF TOPIC for this echo.

The COLLEGE echo is an on-line community of students,

discuss College Life. Almost any non-annoying subject is
allowed if it can be reasonably tied to the college
experience. Except politics. Political threads are annoying.
So are threads about gerbils, spatulas, and Ayn Rand. Threads
that assert Ayn Rand actually =was= a gerbil or spatula would
be just fine, even if somewhat difficult to document.

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
CP/M Operating System Technical Discussion
Open forum for the discussion of CP/M and related operating
systems, including CP/M-80, CP/M-86, and MP/M. CP/M-80 is the
most famous of the family, defining the Intel 8080 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
as the BIOS, and much of the early MS-DOS 1.x was directly
inspired by or ported from CP/M. This echo serves as a focal
point for those working with CP/M and its variants, including
systems programmers, application programmers, and users looking
for information.

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.

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.

If some general netmail replies are generated they should be sent

can be very large that should generally be frowned upon. This echo
is here for the specific use of FILEFIND requests. Not for file

Welcome to the PROLIFE Echo, I have started this echo as

the country to see just what you are doing in the fight
for life. Only talk of prolife issues will be allowed. This
is not the place to debate if abortion is morally right
or wrong. Members of any direct action group (Operation
Rescue, Lambs & others) are welcome to give information
about rescues that they have attended, reports about them
including the number of arrests, babies saved, pro-aborts
arrested and other things that they see as important. Announcements
of rallies and calls to action, and pleas for help are also
welcome here from such groups. This echo should be a forum
to express ideas to stop abortion in America, and to help
end the senseless killing of innocent children.

HOLY_BIBLE
Bible, Wholly_Bible Related Discussions.
HOLY_BIBLE and "Wholly_Bible" are (C)(sm)(tm)1991-1995 Steve Winter
with all rights reserved worldwide.
A FidoNet Backbone echo since 1991
Exploring the Christian Holy Bible (serious Bible study only).
With so many "religions" and "three god cults" blatantly
teaching opposing doctrines while "claiming" to be representing
"The Bible", many are wisely deciding to look for themselves.
No profanity, lewdness, etc will be tolerated.
Deliberate off-topic messages and rule violations will not
be tolerated. This echo exists to promote and discuss true
original Apostolic Biblical Christianity .
This is an internationally distributed Bible echo.
Doctrines will face "the Bible test" in an open forum.
This should not be confused with the pseudo christian, three god
cult echos or any other cults or "denominations" of the RCC.
This echo is extremely strict because of the cost of international
distribution. All points MUST be documented by scripture!
This is NOT a "chat" or "fellowship" conference!.
This really is the only true Christian Echo on the Fidonet Backbone.
If you are interested in what the Bible really teaches,
check out HOLY_BIBLE (the Wholly Bible echo) for yourself and see
what the false christians are hissing and roaring about.
Beware of sleazy imitations and thieves that stole their
echoname from this echo's description.
This echo also is gated to/from the PRIME Network (PreRapture TM).

ability to respond to the statements made to you and about you
in the Holy Bible echo that you are denied permission to reply
to there. This is not a bash or flame echo, but an echo devoted

the "teachings" in that echo. A calm and rational discussion of
the beliefs as presented in the HOLY_BIBLE echo, with the hope of

HOME_SCHOOLING
Home Education and Related Discussions.
Many people are electing to educate their children at home
rather than sending them to government institutions.
Many homeschool for diverse reasons. It is a political
movement rather than religious.
I, though being an Apostolic Pentecostal (just basic true
Biblical Christianity) preacher, do believe that homeschooling
needs to be regarded as a political rather than a religious issue.
HOWEVER, even as a political movement, basic foundational
principles of decency and morality must not be disguarded.
If your interest in Home Schooling is in any way related to the
principles of morality and decency that the USA was founded upon,
you may wish to consider the HOME_SCHOOLING echo.
This echo is not yet on the backbone and would cost you a few
cents a week to pick up from 1:18/98.

K12.SYSOP
K12net Sysops Conference
**restricted to K12net sysops only**. Not available singly.
<<GENERAL INFO>> K12net is privately distributed to HUNDREDS
of school-based/oriented BBS's within FIDOnet zones 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 and 6 as well as in USEnet and other networks. There are NO fees!
It is specifically oriented to curricular/classroom use for
introducing Kindergarten thru 12th grade students, teachers
and administrators to the "global village" of telecommuni-
cations. K12net is a public "network with training wheels" and
should not be thought of as a "hobby" network--this is
"school". To prevent fragmentation of this community, K12net
echoes are NOT available singly--sysops must take all or none.
Traffic in 3/92 generally ran 300-350 messages per day for the
entire network. K12net (sm)(tm) is the mark of Jack Crawford.

A conference to discuss and debate issues related to State
Militia's; the importance of the Unorganized Milita in today's

of the Militia Conference is to enhance the ability of the
average Citizen to understand their duties and responsibilities

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 Code
(USC), TITLE 10--ARMED FORCES, Section 311.

Net 135 sysop conference
This is the Net 135 sysops conference. It is a private
conference for Net 135 sysops and co-sysops and former
members of Net 135 who are present FidoNet sysops.
This conference is presently unmoderated and this listing is
intended to announce that the tagname is in use. Should the
conference be changed to a moderated conference or the N135C
or N135EC request the password, it will be given to the
moderator or the N*C as the case might be. The lister claims
no rights to moderate or have any duties or rights to the
conference and does this because, having been a sysop since
before FidoNet started, is probably brain damaged. The

NEURAL_NET
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Discussion Echo
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) represent the "bottom-up" school of
Artificial Intelligence modelling. ANNs are models of cognitive
computation based upon and inspired by biological nervous systems,
using many low level processors with massive interconnection in order
to accomplish significant function in adaptive signal processing,
pattern recognition, expert systems, process control, DNA sequence
recognition, and many other applications. Cognitive and behavioral
scientists are able to model many phenomena through even the simple
ANN models available now. This Echo serves to support those interested
in this multi-disciplinary field to locate resources, discuss problems,
and exchange code related to ANNs. Significant news items from the
Usenet comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroup, Neuron Digest listings, calls
for papers, meeting announcements, and other news from the outside
world get posted in NEURAL_NET. Discussion of the implications of
ANN technology coexists with discussions of applications. If
thinking about the "how" of thinking appeals to you, this Echo should
be on your "must read" (and write) list. The distribution is public
and international for this echo.

PAUL_REVERE
The Paul Revere 2AM Grassroots Conference
A conference to discuss and debate issues related to our Second
Amendment Rights, post alerts to Federal, State, and Local
affairs, and sound a call to action when appropriate! 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!

PR_CULTS
Study the false christian trinity cults
This echo will be based mainly on the topic of the "mystery"
trinity that most of the false christian "denominations"
share as their three seperate person deities.
We will study the history and origins of the Babylonian tritheism
that evolved into the modern trinity cults, and we will study the
history of "mama trinity" (the RCC) as she murdered multitudes of
real Christians as "heretics".
We also deal with cults like Mormon and JW etc.
Our hope and purpose is to help any willing to be helped to
escape the trinity cults that are conning billions of people.

Progressive News & Views
PNEWS has the distinction of being a conference which is
simultaneously and automatically gated between three networks:
PeaceNet, FidoNet and InterNet and there are a total of 4
conferences. It is an international conference. PNEWS
CONFERENCES are based on the proposition that all men and
women are entitled to certain basic rights, to-wit: good and
affordable health care, food, shelter, liveable wages, equal
rights and opportunities and the conferences will examine
those issues that cause despair and alienation. The primary
emphasis for the conferences is the presentation of
progressive news, views, and occasionally some poetry.
"Progressive," meaning that which tends to improve society,
the advancement of knowledge and visions for a better future.
These are read and write conferences. Discussion is
encouraged. Articles are also posted regularly from other
PNEWS conferences on PeaceNet and InterNet.

SIMPSONS
The Simpsons
Discussion of the very popular FOX TV show, "The Simpsons". A lot of
people may think that The Simpsons is just a cartoon, therefore, is not a
"real" show. However, many people find The Simpsons to be one of the
best shows on TV; it is funnier than many sitcoms, and has a lot of
subtle humor. There are even "special guest voices", such as Johnny
Carson, Kelsey Grammer, and Luke Perry. You're not picking up this

SINGLE_PARENTING
Topics and issues relating to SINGLE PARENTING
There are many issues that confront single parents. Of course topics
like discipline, nutrition, education, and the like are common to all
parents - but singleness tends to complicate these normal child raising
responsibilities. There are also social issues to deal with , careers,
peers, having a life, boyfriends, ex-spouses all add to the stress of
raising A child(ren) by yourself. Here is a respite place to chat and
share your questions and concerns about SINGLE_PARENTING with others
that share your needs. Brag about your kids - (all parents should enjoy
doing that) - talk to others about raising teens - or just drop by and
chat. If the topic is kids and parenting - then it is appropriate here.

scary stuff theists do in the name of their various 'gods' may
want to tap into this Echo for some eye-opening news items.

discuss issues and problems facing today's youth. The
purpose of the echo is to help educate the public about the
realities many teens face day to day and provide a "safe"
place for teens to talk about concerns such as peer
pressure, drugs or alcohol, gangs, fear of violence, family
problems, getting a job, lack of self esteem, pregnancy,
school problems, and the like. Peer support and adult
encouragement are very important here. Teens in Fresno
County Juvenile Hall participate through a special volunteer
program, therefore, "Handles" are REQUIRED to protect
identities. T.O.T.T Sysop companion echo also REQUIRED for
Sysops, who agree to carry and use the TOTT_SYSOP echo
in order to remain up to date on special concerns or
issues affecting the TOTT echo. Sysops are requested to

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 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.
