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!

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.

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 Status: Active Origin: Group: Distribution: Z1-BACKBONE, PLANET-CONNECT Gateways: Language: # Nodes: 75 Volume: 175/mo Rules: Flags: Notes: Moderators: Russell Boyce, 1:325/301 Last changed: 16-Jul-98 by Mike Bilow, 1:323/107 WARNING!

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.

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..

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 Geoworks conference is meant for discussion of the GEOS operating system, as well as devices that use GEOS. Discussion will primarily concern GEOS as it runs on the PC or compatable computers. This does not rule out discussion of GEOS on Commodore or Apple platforms, but it is secondary to GEOS on the PC. Since New Deal, Inc. has distribution rights for the desktop version, and has renamed the software, discussion of GEOS as NDOS (New Deal Operating System) is on topic. As a corollary, since GEOS/NDOS uses an underlying operating system such as DOS or OS/2 for file system access, and for the initial boot and launching, discussion of other operating systems will be on topic only as much as is needed to support GEOS.

MOOSECHAT Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat 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 political 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.

Yet, the NAB won't accept a request to backbone the echo from that person if he chooses not to list himself as the echo moderator. How can they claim that the person who creates the echo is the moderator and in the same breath refuse to accept the request from the person who created the echo? What if there's no elisted moderator? Who owns the echo? The holder of the password or the moderator? Who has the final say, the Elist Keeper, the echo creator, the ZEC, the ZC or the users of the echo?

SACRED_MAGICK is for the discussion of Magickal Practices, and the Sacred Mythologies and Spiritualities that are incorperated by them. An all-too-common trend in today's mysticism is to disconnect Magick from anything "supernatural" or religious in nature- linking it instead mainly to such things as psychology and quantum physics. While those views have their merit, I have chosen to make this echo as a home to those who accept the Spirits, Gods, Angels, etc of their systems as very real, and Magick as an actual art of dealing with supernatural Forces and Energies for effect on the real world of matter, not simply the mind and view- point of the Mage. 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.

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.

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.
