Warning: When  on the mailing list for  some of these Digests and Forums you
will  receive LARGE quantities of mail.  If your interest in the topics they
cover  is only occasional, it  is stronly  suggested that  you retrieve back
issues of the Digests from the file server VMBBOARD@WEIZMANN (or in the case
of REXX FORUM, LFCNET@ICNUCEVM).  Some digests are available  from the data-
base server, DATABASE@BITNIC.  Some are available only via the mailing list.

More NETSERVs...

There are three new ones, in fact.  They are:

NETSERV   @ BEARN    - National Scientific Research Fund, Brussels
NETSERV   @ CANADA01 - University of Guelph
NETSERV   @ TAUNIVM  - Tel Aviv University

This news comes from both Berthold Pasch and Helmut Woehlbier.

QRDR...

According to Oliver Martin there is a new list server at CEARN, called
(originally enough) LISTSERV@CEARN.  Incidentally, a list of current LISTSERV
groups is available from NICSERVE@BITNIC.  The file is named LISTSERV GROUPS.
This is not true for LISTSERV@NDSUVM1, which responds to HELP.

/Links...

There is a Relay at Oregon University called 556@OREGON1.  It sounds like
a temporary userid to me, but we shall see.  Thanks to Andy Vaught for
that news.

New Digests...

Peter DiCamillo has informed me of RISKS-FORUM, a digest on risks to the
public in computer systems.  You can contact RISKS-REQUEST@SRI-CSL.ARPA
to get on the mailing list.

There are also two new digests from UMASS, the first concerning health
and related health topics.  Mailing list requests should go to RALPH@UMASS.

The second is a digest for people to introduce themselves to the
networking community.  You can contact LOVECAT@UMASS or FIDELIS@UMASS to be
added to the mailing list.  Please keep in mind that this digest is
also distributed to networks other than BITNET.

Virtually;

Chris
