                           MASTER REPORT

     The Echolist
     =================

     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.

     It provides a place for Moderators to advertise their
     conferences, both to people who would like to participate,
     and to those who route echo traffic.  It is also a reference
     for distribution systems wishing to contact the Moderator of
     an echo, or wishing information about an echo's topics.
     Elist entries include topic, distribution and contact
     information.  Procedural or internal echo operational matters
     will normally be put in the rules file for an echo.

     The Echolist carries echo listings from various Networks
     and distribution systems, including all Zones of Fidonet,
     and all such listings are welcomed.

14_REC
     Region 14 Echomail Coordinators And SysOps
           The tagname's misleading - 14_REC is open to all SysOps
          and Co-SysOps within Region 14 (user chat is available in
          14_CHAT), and exists primarily to provide access to the
          the REC.  This echo is the forum for administrative echomail
          business within the Region, and every Net is strongly to
          read / carry / participate in it. If you snooze, you lose!
          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.

AMIGA
     Amiga International Echo.
           The International Amiga Echoconference is intended to foster
          discussion of all models of the Amiga computer system. This
          echo is intended as a source of answers to questions users
          might have about the Amiga, and as a clearing house for
          new information about new Amiga products compatible with
          the Classic Amiga whether they are made by Amiga Inc or
          by third party vendors.  Hands-on reviews of such products
          are encouraged, especially with hard facts and data.  We
          invite everyone who uses the Amiga, or who is interested
          in the Amiga, to participate in this echo through the friendly
          and helpful exchange of information.

           This is just a precaution after the southern star message
          in the echo, so that Chief Scotty McDork does not hijack
          another echo in his continueing to lend credence to his
          claims of "private law enforcement".  The echo password
          will be turned over to Tom as soon as he re-appears.

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!

CHATTER
     Mindless Chatter Conference
           A conference devoted to babbling on and on about utter
          nonsense, for those in the United States, Canada and all
          other parts, known and unknown. People who post serious
          topics, personal messages, BBS ads, or advertising of ANY
          KIND will be verbally chastised by everybody in the whole
          blamed echo.  THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!  Messages are light-hearted,
          with no chance of accidental seriousness. A perfect place
          for stressed-out persons to find fast relief. Hershey Bars
          allowed. Meatloaf allowed. Aardvarks allowed. Nose picking
          allowed. Cat jokes allowed. Suspend your reality at the
          door and be ready to make fun of yourself. No gross profanity
          allowed, unless expressed with force by the MODERATOR. Math
          proofs and box tops will help, but not much.

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.

          echo area, or NetMail.  COMM Echo Primer, a beginners introduction

          twice a month (1st & 15th).

DADS
     The Dads Discussion/Support Echo
           The primary focus of this echo is as a Forum for disenfranchised
          Dads. The goal is to help them find ways of keeping their
          relationship with their children viable. However, that does
          not exclude others, including women from posting their views
          in the Echo.  Please, however, remember that the primary
          goal is for DADS.  Positive input from all sources is encouraged
          and welcome.

DARE
     The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) Conference
           This conference has been developed as an adjunct to the
          DARE Project. The project is a substance use prevention
          education program designed to equip elementary and junior
          high school students with skills for resisting peer pressure
          to experiment with tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. This unique
          program uses uniformed law enforcement officers to teach
          a formal curriculum to students in a classroom setting.
          Project DARE gives special attention to fifth and sixth
          grades to prepare students for entry into junior high and
          high school, where they are most likely to encounter pressures
          to use drugs. DARE lessons focus on four major areas: *Providing
          accurate information about tobacco, alcohol, and drugs;
          *Teaching students decision-making skills and the development
          of self-esteem; *Showing students how to resist peer pressure;
          *Giving students ideas for alternatives to drug use and
          building their inter-

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. All moderating
          should be left to the moderators. Participants should not
          be easily annoyed.

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
     End Times - Mystery Babylon and the Beast 666
           As the 3rd Millennium dawns, certain religions of various
          flavours are working towards a new religion, or "Global
          Ethic", recognising a need for unity as a means of solving
          humanity's many problems, such as war, poverty, hunger,
          pollution etc. This is not in itself bad, but is leading
          to the fulfilment of prophecies concerning the rise of a
          false religious system, described as "Mystery, Babylon the
          Great", in Revelation 17. Rising with the false religious
          system is a false Christ (Messiah), known as the Antichrist,
          or Beast 666, and with him a false prophet, who will cause
          all to worship the Beast 666 or to be killed. All trade
          will be conducted by means of a mark applied to the right
          hand or forehead, with those who refuse to take the mark
          or to worship the Beast 666 being killed. This echo is to
          investigate, to the extent possible, the rise of these systems.

          their command of English, and to those who wish to act as
          their tutors. Participants may submit short texts for critique
          and discussion by literate English speakers in English-speaking
          countries. Discussions of points of grammar, usage, standard
          English and regionalisms are welcome. Chatting is allowed,
          provided the texts are viewed as language practice subject
          to comments by the tutors and other students.

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.

          Nicolas Eymerich (1320-1399), Inquisitore Generale d'Aragona
          e` un personaggio realmente esistito. Ma Valerio Evangelisti
          ne ha tratto una figura letteraria impressionante, le cui
          lotte contro l'eresia hanno sempre ripercussioni sulla nostra
          era o su quelle future. Sempre al confine fra la fantascienza
          ed il gotico, le sue opere catturano il lettore piu` di
          una ruota da tortura....

FILEFIND
     ALLFIX International FILEFIND Echo
           This is the International ALLFIX FileFind Echo moderated
          out of 1:3830/5 or trrc@bise.tzo.com.  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 req. 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 larger 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. ALLFIX is Copyrighted by Harms Software

FLAME
     International FLAME echo
           A general "no-holds-barred" echo for a heated discussion
          and debate about almost anything you care to Flame about!
          The echo can get quite nasty and "hot," but there is a general
          attempt by all participants to argue/debate/bitch in an
          intelligent and lively way, though regression into ad hominem
          assaults ("personal attacks") and/or resorting to the exchange
          of 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 get nasty if you find you can't get nasty
          anywhere else.

GEOWORKS
     Geoworks software conference.
           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.

GREAT
     Gang Resistance Education and Training Conference
           The GREAT program was developed by the Bureau of Alcohol,
          Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and implemented in Phoenix, Arizona,
          by various law enforcement agencies and educators. The GREAT
          conference has been developed as an adjunct to the GREAT
          program. The program is designed to help children set goals
          for themselves, resist pressures, learn how to resolve conflicts
          with- out violence, and understand how gangs and youth violence
          impact the quality of their lives. GREAT students discover
          for themselves the ramifications of gang and youth violence
          through structured exercises and interactive approaches

HOLYSMOKE
     Religion Debate Echo - HEATED
           "Holy Wars Come to YOUR Home Computer!"  HOLYSMOKE provides
          a forum for the discussion and argument of religions and
          religious tenets and practices with a jaundiced eye.  HOLYSMOKE
          welcomes all debate on the pros and cons of religious indoctrination.
          Arguing as to whose religion (or lack of one) is best (and
          why) is welcome here so long as it doesn't degrade into
          mind-numbing scripture posting or endless "flame for the
          sake of flame" messages.  This echo also serves as a "dumping
          ground" for the dross whose messages are inappropriate in
          other religious or non-religious echos, such as HOLY_BIBLE
          variants, CHURCH&STATE, or R_CATHOLIC.  "Give me your tired,
          your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
          the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.  Send these,
          the homeless, tempest-post to me, I lift my lamp beside
          the golden door!"  Contact Gateway sysop regarding Internet

IC
     International Coordinator Contact Conference
           This conference serves as a direct path to address the
          IC, currently Ward Dossche at 2:292/854, and is a forum
          for issues that involve the IC, such as IC announcements,
          policy interpretation and/or review, nodelist flags and
          their usage, etc.  Keep your posts clean and to the point;
          flames and personal attacks are not permitted.  "Do unto
          others as you would have them do unto you, and this means
          you, too." Note:  This conference is retained by the sitting
          IC, while the moderator is appointed by the IC.  In the
          event of an IC change, the moderatorship reverts back to
          the IC, who will then appoint a moderator.  The IC is disqualified
          from overruling the moderator within the framework of this
          conference, although the IC may not be removed from the
          echo. Conference may not be gated without permission.

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

INTBBS_WK
     International BBS Week echo
           An echo for the planning and execution of an International
          BBS Week, to educate the modem-using public that there IS
          an alternative to the Internet, and to promote the use of
          FidoNet and all private networks and all BBSs worldwide.
           We want to promote ALL BBSs, not just our own, and while
          other BBS promotion echos rely heavily on the Internet,
          we work mainly in LOCAL groups, promoting LOCAL BBSs. This
          is NOT an echo for flaming or faultfinding, and none will
          be tolerated.  It is only for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and
          ideas on how to increase BBS and network awareness and activity
          around the world. We all know that FidoNet and all the BBS
          nets are taking a hit from the Internet.  Everyone who wants
          BBSing to get back to it's former glory, come join us in
          reversing the trend.

          Participants from all over the world use this forum to discuss
          various topics pertaining to Greece, its people, the Greek
          lifestyle, history, current events, etc.  Conversation is
          in the English language, although Greek may be written using
          standard keyboard (7-bit ASCII) characters.  It is highly
          recommended that English be used whenever possible, since
          many participants do not understand Greek.

          like conflict resolution, problem solving, child raising,

          aspect of dating, love and marriage.  Discussion is not
          limited to married couples, or even dating couples, and
          input from single folk is welcome, however, this is not
          designed to be a matchmaker echo. Although, if we make a
          match...  we won't be offended. ;-) This Conference should
          be considered rated PG-13.

          pointless debates (not flaming), off color discussions,
          bad jokes, puns, poetry, obscure world/local occurrences/events,
          body modification, inane conversations, pseudo intellectual
          discourse and any other mindless discussions which could
          including word play, one liners, etc. Please note this echo
          is not meant to be a haven for hate literature, perverse
          vulgar behavior or flaming. Humor is required :) and close-minded
          individuals are not welcome.

MAGICK
     Magick with a k
           Discussions of the practice, theory, and ethics of what
          is often called "magick," with a "k," to distinguish it
          from stage or other "play."  The definition ... is ... discussion....
          Both skepticism and advice are welcome.  Proseletyzing is
          NOT allowed.  This is NOT a Pagan or any other religion
          area.  If you wish to debate/pontificate/or talk about religion,
          take it to either NETMAIL, or E-MAIL...or, take it to HOLYSMOKE,
          as they could use an infusion of intelligent discussion.
           The founder of the echo uses and reserves the handle of
          "Satan". Off-topic and friendly chatter is directed to our
          sister echo, Occult Chatter (OCCULT_CHAT).

MCMOO_SUPPORT
     McMoo Support echo
           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!

METALSMITH
     Discussion of all forms of metalworking
           An echo dedicated to the tradesman and hobbyist in metals;
          blacksmiths, machinists, welders, goldsmiths, silversmiths,
          tinsmiths, founders, casters and any associated professions.
          If you work or play with metal, this is for you! This is
          a friendly place; the only flames allowed are at the end
          of a torch, under a foundry furnace or in a forge.  Enter
          in the frame of mind that your workbench is clean, your
          day is done and you are joining in the conversation with
          the rest of us while we wait for the time clock to show
          the "magic minute."  Join us and share your experiences
          in some of the little-known crafts.

          for discussions concerning issues associated with the ECHOLIST
          and Distribution.  One goal of the echo will be to°investigate
          and possibly develop a Moderator's Council to address issues
          that are moderator specific. Moderators, Sysops, and those
          involved in the distribution of echomail are welcome as
          participants.

MONTE
     Monty Python Conference
            This echo is dedicated to the continuation of Monty Python.
          Monty Python is a British Sketch Comedy program and is very
           silly, meaning that this echo is also silly.  Common conversations
          include:  Arguments (argument sketch style), Spam (what
          it doesn't taste like, uses, etc.), posting of sketches,
          and on rare occasions, serious discussion about the sketches.

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.

NAMEFIX
     NAMEFIX Find
           Namefix works like filefind, but for users. A message is
          entered in the conference to "NAMEFIX" and all systems that
          run a namefix utility search their userlogs. If a user is
          found, a message is posted in the echo. If interested in
          seeing this on the Fidonet backbone or any other networks,
          please request through normal channels (1:124/5009 gates
          through the Southern Star 1:396/1). I would like to see
          this become an InterNetwork vehicle for finding people.

NEW_SYSOP
     Novice sysops' support echo
           Tips, tricks, problem solving, setup help, and more....
          Discussion and testing forum for new and novice sysops.
          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.

NO_MODERATOR
     Who owns this echo?
           LaCosta claims that the MODERATOR of RECORD owns the echo
          because his Robot software says so.  If there's no MODERATOR
          listed, who owns an echo?  The Elist Keeper?  The holder
          of the password in trust for the users?  Who has the final
          say so, the Elist Keeper, the Trustee, the ZEC, the ZC or
          the users of the echo?  All this and more as the topic of
          discussion heats up and the Final Solution is determined
          when the echo is backboned...

OS2FORSALE
     Forum for buyers and sellers of OS2 compatable products
           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.  Keep the language clean.

OTHERNETS
     OtherNets: Information on Networks other than FidoNet
           The OTHERNETS echo has been established for the dissemination
          of information about "OtherNets".  OtherNets are the multiple
          alternative networks other than FidoNet.  Many of us know
          of some, such as 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.

PASCAL_LESSONS
     Pascal Programming Lessons
           The purpose of this echo is to discuss Pascal, programming,
          and topics related to learning both subjects. Discussions
          about "best" compilers, books, techniques, etc. are welcomed,
          while they remain on topic.  However, "bashing" of related
          issues (vendors, users, processes, etc.) is not.  We are,
          first and foremost, trying to be helpful - things which
          invade this "atmosphere" are undesirable and may result
          in Moderator action. Please maintain your opinions within
          the context of the echo

PHYSICS
     Physics Fidonet Conference
           The Physics Fidonet Conference is devoted primarily to
          the discussion of physics itself, physics teaching, and
          physics-related issues that affect public policy and the
          environment.  Our goal is to furnish a forum where those
          with a casual interest in physics can have their questions
          answered, and those with a professional interest can share
          their expertise and curiosity with others. Knowledge of
          physics, and how it relates to the world around us, is becoming
          central to participation in our increasingly technical society.
          Our purpose here is to be part of a forum that can help
          to improve and refine that knowledge.  Everyone is welcome
          to participate in this conference: students, teachers, scientists,
          and anyone else with an interest in the areas we cover.

POETRY_WORKSHOP
     The Poetry Workshop
           We would like to welcome anyone interested in poetry to
          join us in the largest Poetry Conference on FidoNet! Created
          on February 14th, 1993 this echo is designed for poets to
          share poetry, ideas, challenges, critiques, & friendships.
          The forum also encourages publishing and includes poetry
          discussions of contemporary poets as well as poets from
          the past. Poetic work is not limited to specific forms,
          and growth in all forms-- rhymed and unrhymed, regular or
          irregular--is enjoyed. We are always 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 echo always welcomes new writers, published or not.

QUEEN_FOR_A_DAY
     Lets you play queen for the day
           QUEEN_FOR_A_DAY is an echo which contains a monthly contest.
          The prize for this contest is not a new washer, dryer, vacuum
          or anything like on the old TV show. Instead the prizes
          are moderatorships of different echoes. Score will be tallied
          on the fifth of every month. The rest of the time the echo
          will be used to talk about tactics to use for hijacking
          echoes, what moderators keep a low profile and sometimes
          just some advice from "the queen". Open to anyone, aliases
          are allowed. Especially welcome are echo moderators and
          participants who have personally met in head on collisions!
          Off with their heads!

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.

ROCKETRY
     Rocket Science (Model/High-Power/Ama/Pro/Gov/Mil/etc.)
           * The FidoNet echo "Rocket Science" (ROCKETRY) is for the
          discussion of any topics related to all types of Rocketry
          (history, NASA, science, hobby, military), posting launch
          reports, occasional commercial Rocketry advertisements,
          et cetera.  Other types of kinetic or static machines (flying
          and non-flying models), Amateur Radio (Ham), and other points
          of discussion are topical at this time. * Note:  My system,
          the origin of ROCKETRY, is a Mail and Point System, not
          a Computer Bulletin Board System. Contact me if:  you would
          like to set up a Point from my system, you are looking for
          a dial-up BBS that carries this echo, or if you need an
          alternate direct feed.  * An unfortunately necessary caution:
           This echo is solely echo.  Only under my permission shall
          the echo EVER become the property of other person.  If in
          doubt as to the ownership, contact me for verification.

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

          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.

           This echo is for use by those who use or are interested
          in using the Telix Communications program produced by deltaCom
          Development.  The echo is carried internationally and users
          of the echo are scattered throughout the world.  As such,

          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.  New members and novice
          users are welcome and encouraged to share their experiences
          and opinions. E-Mail me at benc@dmci.net

THEIST_WATCH
     Freethinker Watch on Religious Shenanigans Echo
           The THEIST_WATCH echo is a news feed forum operated by
          Fredric L. Rice at 1:218/890 and Richard Smith at 1:203/9046.
           The purpose of the echo is to issue news reports detailing
          the many and varied oddities, contradictions, and just plain
          silly stuff in which cultists of all stripes engage, with
          particular focus upon illegal, dangerous, or unethical practices.
           Such nonsense is bound to get ever worse as the year 2000
          approaches and this forum will pay close attention to what
          theists do during the current "silly season." Those who
          wish to engage in debate over unrelated topics 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 cultists do in the name of their
          Deity(-ies) may want to tap into this echo for some eye-opening
          news items.  This echo is not to be gated into any other

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

TOTT_DEBATE
     Let's Debate
           Like to argue? Can you do it without name calling, profanity
          or putdowns? Pick a subject, take a stand, and try to convince
          others to see it your way. Test your powers of persuasion
          and your ability to sort through the hype to find what YOU
          think about a topic.

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.

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.

VIN_MAISON
     General chat about potent potables
           Originally devoted to discussion of fine wines and wine
          making, VIN_MAISON returns to life in 2001 as a forum not

          those epicureans who have a special fondness for certain
          potent potables, be it fine ales, Scotch, or what have you.
           Cigar smokers are also welcome to play, as are castaways
          from the past from VIN_MAISON, BIG_SMOKE, and ZYMURGY.

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.

WILDCAT4
     Discussion of Wildcat DOS versions up to version 4 by W
           This is a new Wildcat echo for those Wildcat Sysops or
          Potential Sysops who do not wish to upgrade/discuss Wildcat
          version 5 for Windows95/NT in the current Wildcat echo as
          that subject will be off topic in this echo. All operating
          systems can be discussed as long as it pertains to Wildcat
          BBS DOS software. Discussion of other BBS software will
          be off topic. This echo will serve as a retreat from other
          Wildcat echos that are congested with Wildcat5 problems
          and commercial advertisements.

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.)
