| O |     As of January 1997, the Zone 2 (Europe) Echolist is being       | O |
|   |     converted and merged into this document each month, to provide  |   |

1MAGICK
     Discussion about Magick and it's Mythos and Spiritualities.
          1MAGICK is for the discussion of Magickal Practices, as well
          as the Mythologies and Spiritualities that are incorperated
          by them.  This is my attempt to combine the best of a few
          Fido Echos.  Those who feel their Magickal systems can not be
          easily discussed without dipping into there Religion or even
          the Sacred Mythos of the Faith can hopefully find a home here,
          and thus not annoy the Moderators of the "Magick" and "Mythology"
          echos to no end.  ;)  All faiths are welcome and will be discussed
          CENTERING around their Magickal/Mystical aspects.  No "preaching",
          "conversion tactics", or "attempts to save our souls" will be
          tolerated.  These will be viewed as flames, and as off-topic, and
          treated accordingly.

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!

ATHEISM
     Intra-atheist education and discussion echo.
          Operates as a forum for discussing the phenomena of life without
          god/s from multicultural and historical perspectives, with and among
          persons of non-theistic beliefs, including agnostics, Buddhists,
          Marxists, etc.  Discussion of definitions, philosophy, phenomenology,
          psychology, sociology, history, and future of atheism is "on topic."
          Preaching, arguing from biblical texts, and discussion of the truth
          of other religious beliefs is "off-topic". This echo supplements the
          already-existing Fido echo A_THEIST whose focus is promotion of
          the separation of church and state and general atheist news. ATHEISM
          Echo is now available on the FidoNet Backbone as of 7 Jan 95.

A_THEIST
     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
          by file request from FidoNet listed systems anytime except
          0100-0130 ET and Zone 1 ZMH at 1200-9600+ HST/V32 for FidoNet

          the Baha'i Faith, and for sharing information
          about the activities of Baha'i communities
          throughout the world.  This echo is open to
          Baha'is and to those people interested in
          the Baha'i Faith and its teachings and
          principles.  Baha'is are followers of the new
          Messenger of God, Baha'u'llah, who lived from
          1817 to 1892 in Persia, Baghdad, Turkey and what
          is now Israel.  The Baha'i World Center is on
          Mt. Carmel in Haifa, Israel.  Baha'i teachings
          include abolition of all prejudices, harmony
          of science and religion, equality of men and
          women, and peace on earth.  Baha'is believe
          that Baha'u'llah fulfills the prophecies of
          many religions.  There are about six million
          Baha'is currently on the planet and it is the
          second-most wide-spread religion on earth
          according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.

     !!! DELETE WARNING !!!
     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.

COLLEGE
     !!! DELETE WARNING !!!
     International College Echo
          The COLLEGE echo is an on-line community of students,
          faculty, and other interested FidoNauts who gather to
          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.

COLLEGE_SINGLES
     College Singles -- hey baby, what's yer sign?
          COLLEGE_SINGLES is devoted to the lighter side
          of college -- getting dates, keeping them,
          losing them, and the occasional foray into the
          difference between the sexes and the sexists.
          Bad pick-up lines and light counseling are 
          always welcome.  Males and females are equally 
          encouraged to become regular echo participants.  
          Rules are autoposted bi-monthly and should be 
          reviewed before giving general  access to the conference.

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.

          are: operation of a consulting practice, finding
          clients, getting contracts and getting paid, networking
          with other consultants, setting fees, scheduling,
          productivity, 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".  The moderator can
          be reached via email to 1:352/777, or tomas@accessnow.com.
          A World Wide Web page is going to be attached for those

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.

DEBATE
     DEBATE Conference
          A general forum for participants to debate and discuss
          a wide range of political, historical, contemporary and 
          philosophical topics.  Forceful discussion or debate
          is encouraged.  However, it should be clearly understood
          that personal attacks (flames), remarks deliberately
          intended to provoke other users ("baiting  or "goading"),
          and foul or abusive language will NOT be tolerated.
          And while general religious topics are allowed,
          "sermonizing" does not belong here.  Alec Grynspan and
          Delores E. Rowe are the conference's co-moderators.

ECHOLIST
     EchoList Access Conference
          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.  Successful echo
          update requests are posted in this echo in addition to being
          sent in netmail to moderators.  This provides public
          information on updates between the monthly Elist file
          distribution dates. This echo also provides access to the
          Elist's author for questions about the database which are not
          answered by the ELMOD and ELFAQ help files.  For availability
          of files and routine questions about update formatting,
          participants should first contact their NEC or REC.  Discussion
          of echomail links and distribution systems is off topic.

ECHOPOL
     Echopol Committee restricted echo
          ECHOPOL is a restricted-distribution administrative echo,
          originally used by members of the Zone 1 Echopol drafting
          committee during its 1993 - 1994 tenure.  It is currently
          inactive and will be held for use in future Echomail Policy
          discussions. The echo is carried on a passthrough basis only, by
          some intermediate hubs, and only committee members may receive
          the echo or participate in it.

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.

ECPROG
     East Coast Programmers
          Originally, this echo was created for programmers on the
          East Coast.  It is now an international distributed echo
          for computer programmers.  Because the topic of this echo
          does not specify a language, ECPROG is a good compliment
          to those echos that are language specific.
          So, whatever your favorite language is; Assembly, Pascal,
          C, BASIC ... etc., for DOS, Windows or perhaps OS/2,
          it's all welcome here in the ECPROG echo.

          Discussion of evolutionary theory topics, field biology, relevant

          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

FIFTP
     Discussion and support for users of FiFTP
          FiFTP is an OS/2 custom FTP client for moving Fidonet mail 
          to/from a FTPHUB on a regular basis.  FiFTP has several benefits
          over a generic FTP client, such as: Binkley style logfile,  
          Automatic processing of a Binkley .HLO file for the hub,
          Automatic deletion of files that are successfully pick up as
          they are picked up, and more. 
          The purpose of this echo is to provide a place for the discussion
          of FiFTP, answer questions that new users might have, and share
          solutions DESC for problems encountered.

FILEFIND
     ALLFIX International FILEFIND Echo
          This is the InterNational ALLFIX FileFind Echo moderated out of
          1:19/153.  This echo is here for the express purpose of allowing
          users with access to ALLFIX or some other compatible FILEFIND
          program to send a request over FidoNet to find certain files that
          they are looking for. FILEFIND requests can be echomail in format.
          If some general netmail replies are generated they should be sent
          via routed NETMAIL.  However since some of these type of replies
          can be very large that should generally be frowned upon.  This echo
          is here for the specific use of FILEFIND requests.  Not for file
          announcements or anything else of that nature.

          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

FMLY_PROLIFE
     Pro-Life Support Echo
          Welcome to the PROLIFE Echo, I have started this echo as
          a means of spreading ideas from other Prolife groups around
          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.

FNOS_HELP
     FNOS version of KA9Q, with modifications by Marc Blakely
          KA9Q is a powerful DOS based TCP/IP application which supports:
          * Internal multithreading, ability to conduct simultaneous
          sessions
          * Internal mini applications such as telnet, finger, and FTP
          * Internal servers for finger, telnet, FTP, SMTP, NNTP, POP, POP3
          and more
          * Interfaces to ethernet, SLIP, PPP, generic packet driver, and
          more
          * Provides IP routing and tracing facilities
          * Source code is copyrighted but by explicit approval of the
          copyright owners, it can be modified and redistributed for
          educational or non-commerical usage.
          This Echo is primarily for the use of the FNOS version that
          Marc Blakely is presently working on.   Marc has devoted a lot
          of time and energy implementing a FTN version of KA9Q that will
          automatically transfer FidoNet BACKBONE/FILEBONE technology via
          the FTP_BONE system used by George Peace, John Souvestre and
          others.  Many FidoNet systems are using this technology today
          to help cut down the cost in telephone long distance charges.
          And it is proving to be successful.

HOBBIES
     Hobbies Discussion!
          Here's the place to discuss your favorite
          hobby no matter how obscure it may be. As
          long as it is not illegal, any hobby is on
          topic here. You may even find echos specific
          to your hobby in this echo, but you are still
          welcome to discuss your hobby here as well.
          No telling who else may have an interest in
          your hobby (even if it's a strange one), so
          go ahead and ask if someone else has that hobby,
          and you may be able to strike up a good informative
          discussion!

          trying to stay on topic. HOLYSMOKE welcomes all debate on the pros
          and cons of religious indoctrination. Arguing over whose
          religion is best or worst and why, is welcome here so long as it
          doesn't become an endless loop and the antagonists are cordial.

HOLY_BIBLE
     Bible, Wholly_Bible Related Discussions.
          HOLY_BIBLE and "Wholly_Bible" are (C)(sm)(tm)1991-1996 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).

     Respond to posts In the Holy Bible echo after you've been cut.
          Have YOU been called False Christian Scum and your access cut?
          Are posts being made to you in the Holy Bible echo that you can't
          respond to?  Well, you can now.  This echo is devoted to the
          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
          to allowing you to continue your discussion of the Bible and
          religion that you started in the Holy Bible echo and to debate
          the "teachings" in that echo.  A calm and rational discussion of
          the beliefs as presented in the HOLY_BIBLE echo, with the hope of
          reaching an understanding of others.

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.

JAVA
     Java computer language and environment -- general discussion
          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."  NOTE: Please use the JAVAPROG echo for
          Java issues specifically related to programming.

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.

KIDS
     International KIDS conference
          The KIDS Echo Conference was established to allow young people
          up to the age of 18 to have freedom of information interchange in
          an environment that is directed primarily toward an adult
          audience. Allowing our children to have an area of thier own is
          necessary to give our kids the opportunity to expand their
          capabilities in the age of electronics and home computing. Our
          children are our most valued resources in the persuit of a
          future for a nation with strong goals in computers. Our future
          belongs to them. They are our destiny. The KIDS Echo Conference
          was designed with them in mind. Therefore, each adult should
          encourage its use and give it direction. Direction without
          interferance except to insure that the echo is wholesome and that
          it grows with common decency as viewed by the public as a whole.
          Additionally, the KidsNews newsletter can be a viable medium for
          students, teachers, parents and school organizations to express
          ideas and activities. KidsNews is the official newsletter of the
          KIDS echo conference. It is there for YOUR use.

          post words to _published_ songs (no *original* poetry,
          prose, rap, or spoken word please!), ask for help on
          a tricky line, or discuss the hidden meanings of your
          favorite songs.  Please, please, please - feel free
          to jump in and help out, ask questions, or dissertate.
          All musical genres are welcome, but be forewarned that
          your moderator is a full-tilt modern rock bassist/vocalist

MAGICK
     Magick Echo
          Discussions of Occult and paranormal matters and the various
          philosophies associated with these areas, such as religion, 
          mythology and science.  Both skepticism and advice are
          welcome.
          REAL NAMES are preferred but aliases are allowed (it is
          strongly suggested that users preferring not to reveal their 
          REAL NAME send Netmail to the Moderator to advise on 
          REAL identity).  
          This is not strictly a Pagan area but a place for all creeds 
          to discuss the various views of such topics.  Proselytizing is  
          NOT allowed.
          The Moderator uses the handle, Satan, and is the Patriarch of 
          The Church Of The Adversary (Mystic) which is essentially a parody 
          of systems.  The Co-Moderators are known as the Right Hand of Satan

          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
     The State Militia's, Organized and Unorganized Discussion Conf
          A conference to discuss and debate issues related to State
          Militia's;  the importance of the Unorganized Milita in today's
          affairs; and sound a call to action when appropriate! 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 Code
          (USC), TITLE 10--ARMED FORCES, Section 311.
          Militia: composition and classes:
          (a) THE MILITIA OF THE UNITED STATES CONSISTS OF ALL ABLE-BODIED
          MALES AT LEAST 17 YEARS OF AGE and, except as provided in section
          313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made

          States and of female citizens of the United States who are

          features, release dates, beta cycles, etc. of future

          urban legends are also welcome.  The conference is flexible, but
          to within reason.  Modern religious debate is not welcome --

          rule and FAQ postings, and the the conference is being gated into

NETSYSOP
     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
          moderator entry in the MOD line only means to comply with the
          requirement that there be a contact person for this elist
          entry.

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.

OCCULT_CHAT
     Occult Chatter
          This is an echo for off-topic chatter related to
          conversations current in such echoes as MAGICK, etc.
          Any Moderator of any of the occult or philosophy style
          echoes offered by the Z1 Backbone are invited to make
          use of this resource.  A simple message to the Moderator
          via Netmail or in the echo will suffice to become 
          "affiliated".
          Sysops carrying MAGICK or any other "affiliated" echo
          are requested to also carry OCCULT_CHAT so that their
          users can optimize relationships and conversations 
          without disturbing topic rules in the main echo.
          Moderators may direct OFF-TOPIC matters or Moderator
          disputes to this area.
          Any Moderator of an "affiliated" echo may act as
          Co-Moderator under the echo guidelines.

          alternative networks other than FidoNet.  Many of us know
          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.

          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.

          to pick up a new addition?  Feel free to post a note, and check

          valuable insight and tips, before you head out and buy something
          that you're not really prepared to handle.
          If your cat/dog/hamster or w.h.y. has just had a litter, perhaps
          you'll find someone interested in giving it/them a new home..

          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

P_NEWS
     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.

     QFront Support Conference
          This is a support conference for Rob Kittredge's QFront Fidonet mailer
          program. QFront is a Fidonet Front-end mailer package written for both
          the PCBoard package, and for the Wildcat! package. If you run QFront,
          you shou carry this conference for the latest info, tips, and product
          announcements relating to QFront.  QFront comes in two flavours,
          PCBoard, and Wildcat.  Due to this, the possibility exists for "my
          software is better than yours".  If you want to stoop to that childish
          stuff, take it elsewhere.  We have better things to talk about here. :)

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.

RENEGADE

          The international Fidonet echo for the support of the Renegade
          Bulletin Board System, a very robust and configurable

          upcoming release of Renegade/2 for OS/2.
          Moderated by Cott Lang and Patrick Spence, the authors.
          The echo is oriented toward assisting Renegade sysops and
          users in realizing the full potential of their software.
          If it's about Renegade, or Renegade utilities, or configuring
          the use of utilities to function with Renegade, it's
          "on topic."  Discussions concerning HEX editing are not only
          "on topic", but encouraged.  Pipe codes are allowed.  Utility
          Authors are encouraged to participate and promote their
          products.  "Clueless Morons" are welcome; they are fair game
          for Cott and Patrick.

RN_SHARE
     Sharing and Caring
          A forum for personal sharing. This could almost be
          considered a "cross-talk" meeting. If you haven't been to
          one of these, get ready. People will comment on what
          you've shared and it may sometimes be more of what you
          need than what you want.

SACRED_MAGICK
     Discussion about 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.  This is my attempt to combine the best of a few
          Fido Echos;  Those who feel their Magickal systems can not be
          easily discussed without dipping into their Religion or even
          the Sacred Mythos of the Faith can hopefully find a home here,
          and thus not annoy the Moderators of the "Magick" and "Mythology"
          echos to no end.  ;)  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
          "attempts to save our souls" will be tolerated.  These will be viewed
          as flames, and as off-topic, and treated accordingly.

SAILOR_MOON
     Sailor Moon Discussion & Fan Echo
          This is the place to be, if you're looking for information on your
          favorite Sailor Scout, or UUENcoded pictures of your faves. 
          We ask that you limit your picture posts, to 10 at a time, and 
          label them 1/10, 2/10 etc.. so that those who aren't interested
          in the pictures, can bypass them easily.
          We are aspiring to put together a collection of Sailor Moon 
          pictures, and sound files. If you would like to contribute, 
          please send your contributions to either of the addresses 
          listed below.
          Handles are not required, but are allowed, Obscene and foul
          language will not be tolerated, as we do cater somewhat to 
          a younger crowd.  See you there!

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
          echo!?!?  DOHHH! (oooh, Doughnuts!)

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.

          the place to get information and details on all the questionable
          rumours and unsubstantial gossip other echoes try to sweep under
          the carpet and the studios try to hide.

STDSN
     Star Trek: Deep Space Nine discussions
          An EchoMail conference, just for discussion of the 
          televison series, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Since it is
          closely related to ST:TNG and ST: Voyager (with cross-
          characterizations), there will be _limited_ discussion of
          ST:TNG and ST: Voyager allowed on the echo, but only as it
          pertains to ST:DSN. Discussion of, or comparison with,
          the "original" series (TOS), or with any other Science Fiction
          series ("Babylon 5" in particular), is frowned upon, and
          will not be tolerated. Discussion is also allowed for  
          conventions involving the actors, as well as novels and
          comics. Participation is open to the public.

SURVIVOR
     Cancer/Leukemia/blood & immuune system/coping with adversity
          The SURVIVOR echo is a mutual support network of and for people
          actively involved in seeking effective ways of coping with
          illness/adversity/disability and in using them as opportunities
          for personal growth.  This echo would be of interest to, but is
          not limited to, people who have had personal experience with
          serious illness and/or disability.  There is a certain amount of
          emphasis on cancer, leukemia, blood and bone marrow disorders,
          and the immune system.  There is also some specialization in
          pediatric oncology and hematology.  The contents of the SURVIVOR
          echo include book reviews, notices of special events, information
          exchange, and sharing of ideas and experiences.
          NOTE:  High and Low Ascii characters are permitted in the body of

SYSOPS
     SYSOPS Discussion
          This echo was abandoned by the original moderator.  This
          re-incarnation may offer a platform for discussions by sysops
          concerning the rigors of this noble calling and how it may
          affect the krondolack factor present in many mass storage
          devices.  At no time will the hands of the moderator leave
          his arms.  The echo may be bent, folded, spindled or mutalated
          to fit.  Only serious applicants need apply.

          An International forum for youth from ages of 13 to
          25 to communicate back and forth and have a good time.
          Rules 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.
          If Jay Fuller is not available, R.T. Dowling can be
          contacted at fidonet address 1:326/103.
          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 as soon as possible for folks who met on teen
          echo, and they're now becoming too old to participate
          in Teen. Please support me on this effort. Thanks.

          the TELIX communications program produced by deltaComm
          Development. The echo is carried internationally and users of the

          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.

     American Atheist Watch on Religious Shenanigans Echo
          The THEIST_WATCH Echo is a news feed forum operated for American
          Atheists, Inc., by AAI member Christopher Baker at 1:18/14.
          The purpose of the Echo is to provide members and prospective
          members of American Atheists with information on the many and
          varied oddities, contradictions, and just plain silly stuff in
          which theists of all stripes engage. THEIST_WATCH is NOT a debate
          Echo. It should be set to READ-ONLY to non-atheist Users. Those who
          wish to engage in debate over the topics presented should take
          their debates to HOLYSMOKE or one of the theist Echos or networks.
          Those who wish to keep an eye on the machinations, canards, and
          scary stuff theists do in the name of their various 'gods' may
          want to tap into this Echo for some eye-opening news items.
          THEIST_WATCH Echo is NOW on the FidoNet Backbone distribution.
          It is not to be Gated into any other network without the
          expressed permission of the Echo Host. It is also available from
          the alternate source at Rights On! on 1:18/14.

TOTT
     Turn On To Teens [See Elist before requesting]
          This is a serious echo for teens and concerned adults to
          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
          post a test message on TOTT_SYSOP as soon as you are
          connected, giving us your name and the name, net address
          and location of your BBS.

          Christian beliefs. Non-denominational, with a focus on
          youth involvement, this echo is available to youth in
          detention centers and court schools, therefore, handles
          are required to protect identities and encourage open
          communication. Putdowns and "ramming" of beliefs are
          not permitted. A non-judgemental, supportive,

          not know where to turn for help. They are not alone.

          echo. This is an administrative area which is intended to

          brainstorm about problems posted on the TOTT echo.
          TOTT_SYSOP should not be made available to the general
          public. (NOTE: Moderator approval may be given for
          exceptions IF an individual has a special need for/or can
          contribute in a significant way to the TOTT_SYSOP echo.
          Please contact moderator for approval if you have someone
          you feel should be given access to this area.) TOTT_SYSOP
          prefers the use of real names; Sysop handles are permitted
          if your software makes it easier to use the same name/handle
          on both TOTT and TOTT_SYSOP. Post a test message on
          TOTT_SYSOP as soon as you receive the echo, giving us your
          name and the name, net address and location of your BBS.

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 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.

VFALSAC
     Victims of False Accusations of Abuse
          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

          Abuse Laws), this Echo deals with most of the topics in which VOCAL
          and similar local groups are involved.

          The Microsoft Visual Basic Programmers Conference targets
          those who write computer programs in either the Microsoft
          Visual Basic for Windows or Microsoft Visual Basic for
          DOS programming languages. Carried internationally, and

          Basic Programmers Conference presents all world-wide VB
          programmers, novice, intermediate and professional, with
          the unique opportunity to share their experiences, code
          samples, opinions and questions. Conversations may include
          discussions of other languages or programming techniques,
          conducted in the context of the Visual Basic programming
          environment. These include discussions on the Windows 16-
          and 32-bit APIs, 16- and 32-bit programming techniques &
          differences, accessing and modifying the Window95 and
          Windows NT Registry, creating Help Files for Win3x and
          Windows95 applications, and Database techniques using VB
          with  Microsoft Access v1.1, v2 and v7, as well as other
          SQL and ODBC  database formats. Due to the specific
          nature of this echo, off-topic conversations are strongly
          discouraged.

WALK_IN_LOVE
     Bible-Based Discussion
          WALK_IN_LOVE is a conference for anyone
          who enjoys discussions about The Bible.
          You can believe The Bible is literal truth;
          You can believe The Bible is interpretive.
          We discuss it as honored wisdom that can help
          us answer our ultimate questions:
          Who am I?                                  
          Why am I here?                             
          What am I supposed to do?                    
          We welcome all who believe in any religious or
          spiritual path. We ask that participants respect
          each other, and treat each other with kindness.  
          WALK_IN_LOVE is not a conference on comparative
          religions or spiritual paths in the sense of         
          comparing their worth. If you're looking for a
          "holy war" or you want to proselytize, pass us by.
          You can't convert, condemn or judge in this conference. DESC "I" statements
          A sense of humor is appreciated.

WHOLLY_BIBLE
     !!! DELETE WARNING !!!
     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.

WNY_MUSIC
     Western NY Music Echo
          The Fidonet Western NY Music Echo is the place to discuss just about
          anything related to music and its enjoyment in the Western NY area.
          Of particular interest are musical events taking place within Western
          NY, either by local artists or "bigger" acts, but anything generally
          related to music and its enjoyment will probably be considered
          topical.
          The echo will be distributed primarily among systems in the affected
          area but other interested parties are encouraged to write the
          moderator for access.
