| O |     Since January 1997, the Zone 2 (Europe) Echolist is being       | O |
|   |     converted and merged into this document each month, to provide  |   |
| O |     cross-Zone information on known echoes.  Similarly, the Zone 2  | O |
|   |     Elist is including echoes listed in this Echolist.              |   |
| O |                                                                     | O |
|   |     All entries copied from the Zone 2 Elist include the line       |   |
| O |     "Flags:  <From Z2 Elist>" to distinguish them from regular      | O |
|   |     echo listings.                                                  |   |

|   |     Since Zone 2 Elist rules differ from those of this Echolist,    |   |
| O |     no deletions are made of older Zone 2 updates.                  | O |

14_REC
     Region 14 Echomail Coordinators
          The title's misleading - 14_REC is open to all Sysops within
          Region 14 (user chat is available in 14_CHAT), and exists
          primarily to provide access to the RC and REC.  This echo is
          the forum for administrative business within the region - if
          you snooze, you lose! - and every net is strongly encouraged
          to read/carry/participate in it.
          No flames, real names, and no bogus node numbers please!
          Robot postings from the RC and REC should be expected; robot
          postings from sysops are subject to RC/REC approval.

ALT_CULTURE
     Discussion of Alternative Cultures
          Within a large society, there will always be small groups
          of people who, for whatever reason, do not conform to the
          larger culture. In a free society, these people will form
          a smaller culture, a world of their own within the larger
          one. It is to these people, and these cultures, that
          ALT_CULTURE is dedicated. An alternative culture can include
          your way of life, your religion, just about anything.
          Come and join us for discussion or debate, whichever you
          prefer...

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!

          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

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!

          for finding out what's going on where, who's going, where to write
          for more info, and what it was like to attend once you've gone and
          come back (or even while you are still there).
          Information about the conventions, hotels, day trips, BOF (Birds of a
          Feather) get togethers, special events and everything else can be
          posted here. We're not worried about redundant postings either so you
          are encouraged to share something that you might have read elsewhere.
          Discussion of any BBS related convention or trade show, whether
          professional or amateur, is welcome in the echo. Use the echo to plan
          a mini-con, regional Fidonet convention, or get-together.

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.

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.

     International Consulting Forum
          CONSULTING EchoMail conference is an international
          forum for professional 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, 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
          who wish to access CONSULTING info via the internet.

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

          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 is a restricted-distribution administrative echo,

          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.

EDGE_ONLINE
     Endtime Discussion Group Exchange Online
          The E.D.G.E. Online conference is dedicated to presenting thought
          provoking perspectives on Endtime prophetic events and other topics
          of interest related to the Scriptures. This echo is not affiliated
          with any religious or political entity. It is not Catholic,
          Protestant, Baptist, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, Pentecostal, 
          Day Adventist, Muslim, Buddhist, Native American, New Age, etc. 
          means that you are NOT to come to the echo with the specific 
          of only pushing one of these belief systems on echo participants.
          You must leave it at the door, or else I will show YOU to do the
          door! This echo is to exalt The Truth of the straight Word of God.
          This echo is moderated by a free-thinking Christian who long ago
          became disillusioned with and abandoned organized religion, yet who
          still maintains a strong faith in the Bible as the inspired Word of
          God. Similar free-thinkers who have felt rejected by or who have
          become dissatisfied with major denominations may find a comfortable
          home and haven in this echo. While primarily geared towards
          Christians, anyone who has a SINCERE interest in understanding the
          Christian perspective, is encouraged to read through the articles
          posted here and contribute CONSTRUCTIVE MEANINGFUL dialogue. Not 
          of the information posted here is embraced by traditional
          Christianity. If you are one who is easily offended by RADICAL

EPISCOPAL
     Episcopal Echo
          This is a group for Episcopalians and others to discuss life,
          the meaning of the universe, and everything.  Patterned after
          a campus Canterbury Club with a Sunday evening dinner tradition.
          Participants could be quasi-erudite, might show a respectful sense of
          humor, and demonstrate the humility of being less than 98% omniscient.
          The echo is open to all people, regardless of their religion, or the
          number of times they have been born.  For those for whom reason and
          traditions often count as much as faith alone:  "There's a difference
          between being baptised and brainwashed".  A post-sophomoric Canterbury
          Club for all ages.  Mostly for a US mainstream and traditional core of
          demographics and theology as spawned the US Declaration of Independence,
          and other such revolutionary things..  The 2000 year old trinity of
          the KJV is quite welcome, as are humor, burlesque, and parody - similar
          to the Jewish tradition of Purim.  Has no teaching or conversion agenda:
          just good humor, good will, and maybe some random good works by
          serendipity and simply being considerate of others.  A non-prophet
          group with a comfortable identity that can respect the beliefs of others.
          Collects and keeps a library of humor as well as addenda to the book,
          "These Also Believe".  Certificates "of sufficient omniscience" awarded
          on a for-prophet basis to duly authorize pontificators to post outside
          this forum...the ONLY source of such certifications!  Send a simple note

ET_SIGHTINGS
     ET_SIGHTINGS Discussion Conference
          ET_SIGHTINGS is a conference where we will rationally discuss
          actual sightings of Extra Terrestrials.  This is not a conference
          for non-believers or those wishing to bash those who do believe.
          This IS NOT another UFO conference, Fido has enough of those already.
          There are lots of sightings happening now like in Brazil and
          elsewhere so join us today in discussions of these sightings.

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.

FIFTP
     !!! DELETE WARNING !!!
     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
          1:3601/78.1. 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
          is here for the specific use of FILEFIND requests.  Not for file
          announcements or anything else of that nature.

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.

HAM-ECHO
     Open discussion of Ham/Amateur Radio general interest.
          A wide open forum of general interest for the discussion of
          Ham/Amateur Radio.  This echo is open to all parties with the
          common interest of radio.  This echo is unlike the other HAM
          radio echos, in that, anything that would be of concern to the
          ham/amateur radio enthusiast is ON-TOPIC.  There may/will most
          certainly be heated discussion and warnings of deviated topic
          discussion, but in general, almost anything related to radio
          may be discussed.
          The HAM-ECHO is NOT bound by FidoNet!    It's open to any
          network and system that wishes to carry it.  However, gating of the
          HAM-ECHO to other networks other than FidoNet is NOT permitted

          that under the cover of our different denominations, we
          are really very much alike in that as Christians we are

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.

IMUS
     IMUS in the Morning Radio Show Discussion
          Discussion about IMUS in the Morning, a popular radio show that has
          been on the air for over 20 years, and is now syndicated.  Based in
          New York City on WFAN (660 AM), it is one of the most popular and
          fastest- growing syndicated talk shows around the country. This show
          has a little bit of everything: politics, guests (including Bob Dole &
          Bill Weld), "fake" guests (including Rush Limbaugh, Mike Tyson, and Andy
          Rooney), jokes, and Don Imus' brother Fred, owner & operator of "The
          Autobody Express", who calls in almost everyday to add his insight,
          "sports lock of the week(end)", and just to "bust Don's chops".
          IMUS in the Morning can also be seen on MS-NBC 6-9Eastern, M-F.

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.

JAVAPROG
     Java computer language and environment -- programming
          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."  While Java is frequently misunderstood
          as a technique for making fancy animations on web pages,
          its true power remains to be explored as an applications
          development environment.  Therefore, discussion of Java
          packages, particularly the AWT (windowing toolkit), is
          strongly encouraged.  NOTE: Please use the JAVA echo for
          Java issues not 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.

LYRICS
     The FidoNet International Lyrics Echo
          Do you stay awake at night worrying about mondegreens?
          Got a favorite song that you can't figure out the
          lyrics to?  Are you a performing vocalist needing
          to get words right the first time?  Do you even know
          what a mondegreen is, anyway?  :-)  In LYRICS you can
          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
          with a yearning for the latest radio-savvy alternative hits!

          McMoo (Master Control for Max and Outbound Observer) is a DOS
          program designed to monitor drive space and display Maximus and
          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

MOOSECHAT
     Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat Echo
          MooseChat is an echo for anyone who wants to attempt witty,
          humorous, or just plain silly messages. Many distinguished
          moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous
          Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush have
          all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A moose-
          like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not
          necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and
          satire is often seen, but those attempting serious
          discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies.
          The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about
          the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have
          known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit
          more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

          popular.  The basis of the echo is for people to share their
          experiences and help each other out by talking about their
          moves in the past. Also it would be interesting to hear
          some of the good stories. If so many people move there have
          got to be lots of good stories!

          products for Microsoft Word Products.  No other software,
          hardware, etc. questions (including Windows and/or other

          competitive products is permitted.  The Moderator will
          absolutely not permit the "My wordprocessor is better than
          your wordprocessor" syndrome into the echo.  Speculation on
          features, release dates, beta cycles, etc. of future
          releases of Microsoft Word is not permitted. Keep in mind
          that since this echo supports ALL versions of Word it is a
          good idea to state which version you are referring to in
          your messages to avoid confusion.

          Mythology -- primarily such topics as Egyptian, German,
          Greek, Norse, Roman, Babylonian, Sumerian and other mythos.  It
          is not so much an area for debate, but an area for discussion of
          the legends and tales.  Other topics such as Werewolf, Vampire, and
          urban legends are also welcome.  The conference is flexible, but
          to within reason.  Modern religious debate is not welcome --
          especially Judeo Christian and Neo-pagan types.  There are regular
          rule and FAQ postings, and the the conference is being gated into
          other networks informally.  For further information please email

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.

          Has private Networking for a Purpose echos & member activities.

          Test msgs are ok; BBS, door, and 'othernet' adverts are not.
          Please allow the moderator(s) to reply to test msgs.
          Also, please include a cut-off date for replies (I suggest a starting
          point of 3-days), so you're not still receiving them 3-weeks later.
          Currently seeking co-mods in zones 2 & 3 (apply in netmail) to
          respond to test msgs originating there; the other zone mods'll
          confirm receipt of those and the msgs they were replies to.

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.
          Presently the following echoes are "affiliated":
          Magick
          Sacred Magick
          Mythology
          Relate

OS2FORSALE
     Forum for buyers and sellers of OS2 compatable products to mee
          A FORSALE echo with a specific theme, all merchandise must be compatable
          with OS2. Commercial postings will be allowed but spamming of huge 
          numbers of posts in a row will be discouraged. Vendors who advertise 
          products that are not compatable with OS2 will be asked to take their
          wares elsewhere. This echo is not intended to replace the OS2HW echo
          where discussion of what works and doesn't work takes place, but is to 
          assist buyers and sellers of OS2 related products to find each other.

          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

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.

          a note, telling people what you are looking for. 
          We are also expanding the echo, to include Supplies. So, if you
          have some cages or fishtanks, or other pet related items to 
          part with, this would be the place to do it.... Again, if you are 
          looking for something particular, this would be a good place to     
          begin your search for it.

PROCHEF
     Recipes, foods, cookery ideas, etc
          PROCHEF is an international conference, initially set up
          by Mike Blair and intended as a relaxed forum for food-related
          conversations by anyone interested in cooking.  It is an
          area in which to exchange information about recipes, foodstuffs,
          kitchen utensils and the like.  In just the same way that
          it is acceptable to chat about things other than food while
          sitting drinking a cup of coffee in the kitchen, so it is
          acceptable to chat about other things here as long as the
          balance is not lost.  The deciding factor will be whether
          (in the moderator's judgement) such chats are in danger
          of changing the emphasis of the conference.

PROMOTE_BBS
     The Council for Online Community Alternatives Discussion Area
          The Council for Online Community Alternatives Discussion (COCA) is an
          organization formed to prmote among the public a positive awareness
          of the community based Bulletin Board System (BBS) and to focus
          attention on the various online computer services offered, often
          free, by "Local Community BBS's" in their area.  It has become
          apparent with the large growth of the Internet and the increase in
          the purchase of personal computers with modems, that local community
          based online systems such as Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) and
          telnetable websites will be assumming an ever increasing role in the
          future of online communications for the general public.  The Council
          for Online Community Alternatives was formed to unite Systems
          Operators (SYSOPS) worldwide in organizing ideas and actions to
          jointly facilitate the promotion and success of all BBSs.  Bulletin
          Board Systems offer an alternative to the Internet with distinct
          advantages that are inherent only in a privately owned community
          based system.  This message conference, PROMOTE_BBS, is for the
          discussion of these goals and any topic of interest that will serve
          to further promote Bulletin Board Systems to the public.  A person
          does not need to be a member of COCA to participate in the
          discussion, but is strongly encouraged to join and take an active
          role in this mission.

PWS
     Support and Information for those with Prader-Willi Syndrome
          Prader-Willi Syndrome is a birth defect first identified
          in 1956 by Swiss doctors A. Prader, H. Willi, and A.
          Labhart.  There are no known reasons for this genetic
          accident that causes this life long condition which affects
          appetite, growth, metabolism, cognitive function, behavior,
          and other problems.  This echo is to provide a resource for
          education and information about PWS and support for families
          and/or caregivers of people who have Prader-Willi Syndrome. At
          present day, there are known about 5,000 plus people with
          Prader-Willi Syndrome world wide.  This echo is to also make
          people more aware of Prader-Willi Syndrome.  So many people,
          including Doctors are not aware of it.

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.

QUIKUTILS
     QUIKUTILS is the official Matrix Technologies support echo.
          This is an international conference dealing specifically
          with the Quik Utilities <formally Ice Utilities>, produced by
          Benjamin Schollnick. The utils include the following: QuikBank,
          QuikCBV, QChat, and QuikEdit.
          PURPOSE: This echo has three main purposes: 1) to provide a
          discussion area where problems pertaining to the use of the
          Quik utilities may be raised and solved, 2) to provide Benjamin
          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 Quik utilities. There are no restrictions governing
          who may access this echo, but generally it will only be of
          interest to (potential) sysops running QuickBBS, ProBoard,
          Maximus, RemoteAccess (and any BBS packages capable of running
          the Quik utilities).
          SCOPE: This echo is an international product support echo.

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.

          Authors are encouraged to participate and promote their
          products.  "Clueless Morons" are welcome; they are fair game

SACRED_MAGICK
     !!! DELETE WARNING !!!
     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.

          pictures, and sound files. If you would like to contribute,

SHIVAMBU_KALPA
     Uropathy: Water of Life
          The SHIVAMBU_KALPA Conference is a public forum for discussion
          and sharing of information and experiences concerned with the
          therapeutic uses of urine. Urine therapy has a long and successful
          history in the folk medicines of the world, in Ayurvedic medicine,
          in Tibetan medicine, and so on. This conference is intended to
          discuss the historical practices of urine therapy and whether there
          are applications for uropathy in our present society. Moreover, in
          contemporary society there are often many negative associations
          with the human body and the byproducts of the body -- this too may
          be a subject for this conference. No medical claims can, or should,
          be made here. (Began 10/93)

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!)

STARMAN

          original movie, and anything else in the Starman universe, as
          well as for the philosophies and ideals the show touches upon.
          Additionally, the echo is intended to be the official echo for
          the Spotlight Starman International organization, the official
          fan group of the program, which is global in it's range.  And it
          will allow for messages concerning Starman-related hobby interests
          too, such as for the trading, buying, or the offering for sale
          of Starman merchandise or collectables, as for many people, this
          is part of their deepest expression of famdom for the show.
          (Merchandise will not, however, be the main theme of the echo.)

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.

STEP_PARENT
     Discuss issues relating to step parenting.
          This conference is designed for both step parents and the
          children of step parents.  Discussion will focus on problems that
          arise in households in which step parents have difficulty
          adapting to their newfound stepchildren; relationship problems
          arising from how a step parent chooses to discipline their step
          children; other topics relevent to the parenting of step
          children.  Discussion is not limited to step parents, and step
          children are welcome to post here as well.

TEEN
     The International Teenager's Echo
          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.
          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 this summer for people who met via teen
          echo, and they're now becoming too old to participate
          in Teen. Please support me on this effort. Thanks.

TELIX
     Telix Users Information Exchange
          This echo is for use by those who use or are interested in using
          the TELIX communications program produced by deltaComm
          Development. 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.

          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

          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.

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.

TOTT_JC
     Juvenile Court
          The purpose of this echo is to provide information about
          the juvenile court process, its limits, needs, and the
          rules under which it operates. Why are things are done
          a certain way, how does the court process work, what
          types of caseloads are carried by public defenders? What
          special problems or needs are faced by parents and court
          officials? How is the juvenile system different from the
          adult system? How do laws differ around the country?
          Material included here will also be of general interest
          to criminology or legal students, and to individuals
          interested in general juvenile justice issues.

          who have lost a loved one to suicide. Poetry, letters,

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

          there are many other chapters of Survivors nationwide. All
          are welcome and encouraged to participate.

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.

VATICAN
     News direct from the Vatican Information Service (VIS).
          The VATICAN INFORMATION SERVICE (V.I.S.) is a Holy See
          information system instituted within the framework of the Holy
          See Press Office which furnishes information on the pastoral
          and magisterial activity of the Holy Father and the Holy See.
          Begun in 1991 V.I.S. is available Monday through Friday except
          for the month of August. V.I.S. deals primarily with the acts
          and nominations of the Holy Father; syntheses of his homilies
          and speeches, presentations and communications relative to
          documents written by the Holy Father or departments of the
          Apostolic See, Holy See activities (congregations, councils,
          synods, etc.); and communiques and positions taken by the Holy
          See normally made public through the Press Office. During the
          month of August when VIS is closed other pertinent articles
          will be posted to the Echo.  This echo is read-only in nature.
          Posts to the echo are *strongly* discouraged. Repeat violators
          may be subject to link cuts. Rules will be posted periodically
          by the Moderator.

VISUAL_BASIC
     Visual Basic Programmers Conference
          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
          predominately Windows-programming oriented, the Visual
          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.

WELFARE
     Welfare issues and procedures discussion.
          Welfare is a forum for civilized discussion of issues surrounding
          welfare programs, and procedures. The purpose is to educate the
          participants and share our knowledge. Some participants are
          professionals employed in the welfare system and can advise
          those who need assistance how best to proceed. Alternatives to
          welfare and welfare reform are also common topics in the echo.
          Because of the inherently inflamatory nature of the topic strict
          adherence to the "No Flame" rule is strictly enforced.

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.

          The Fidonet Western NY Music Echo is the place to discuss just about

          NY, either by local artists or "bigger" acts, but anything generally
          related to music and it's 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.

X-FILES
     X-Files TV show discussions
          The X-Files conference is devoted to devotees of the TV show
          "The X-Files".  Discussions will center on any topic relevant
          to the show, such as episode plots, characters, episode titles
          and credits, and of course, the scientific accuracy of some
          of the issues the show raises, as well as the feasability of
          just how true some of the premises of the episodes can be.
          Sideline discussions of UFO's and paranormal phenomena as they
          relate to the show will also be allowed, as will messages
          concerning trading, buying, or the offering for sale of X-Files
          merchandise and collectables, as for many people, this is part
          of their expression of famdom of the show.  (This will not,
          however, be the main theme of the echo.)
