TOPICS
August 6, 1993

This list has been compiled largely from the global list of Bitnet
listerservers from UCSBVM on August 3, 1993, with the addition of some
other groups not listed on the bitnet list. These discussions have been
included here because they are directly concerned with religious and
spiritual issues.
We expect to maintain and expand this list, to make it as comprehensive as
possible. Suggestions for inclusion should be sent to Liesel Deutsch,
LieselFD@aol.com
INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION COMMANDS:
Subscriptions to Bitnet and Unix listservers take the same form: a one line
comand sent to LISTSERV@list.address. The commands are not case-sensitive,
and can be in lower-case. They are often shown in upper case for the sake
of clarity.
Commands can be grouped together in one mailing. Thus, an initial
Bitnet subscription command might take the following form:
Prompt: mail listserv@brownvm.bitnet
Subject: [no subject required, leave blank]
sub belief-l John Smith [your name, as you wish to be known]
review belief-l [returns list description, list of members]
index belief-l [returns list of available archived files]
query belief-l [returns settings of new account]
help [returns general command descriptions]
ON BITNET GATEWAYS:
Many Internet users can mail directly to Bitnet addresses, without a
"gateway". These users can simply address their mail to
listname@address.bitnet
Other users must add a link to the address. There are many internet/bitnet
gateways available. One gateway is cmsa.berkeley.edu, such that the
address for sending mail to a bitnet list or listserver is
LISTNAME%address@cmsa.berkeley.edu
