Cable Television Echo
This new echo is designed to present pro-consumer information
about the cable television industry. The conference will delve
deeply into cable legislation issues, new network offerings, new
technology, and will be the springboard for lobbying Washington
for consumer protections for cable tv subscribers. The echo is
not simply a mechanism to bash the cable tv industry, but rather
to prod it into participating in a fully competitive multichannel
service provider business environment. Expect a lot of crossover
information about cable's competitors, including telco-tv, C-band
satellite, direct broadcast satellite, wireless cable, and other
new technologies. This is a new echo and will be placed on the
backbone as soon as possible. Please contact Frank Kennedy at

Concord Coalition
We all have become aware of the potential devastation that
unchecked deficit spending will have on this country. If
something isn't done about it, we soon will be discussing what to
do about a 6 trillion dollar debt in the 1996 campaign. Where is
the point of no return? The Concord Coalition is a non-profit,
bi-partisan organization dedicated to educating the people about
this very problem. It is headed by Democrat Paul Tsongas and
Republican Warren Rudman. Warren Rudman is the U.S. Senator who
did not seek re-election because he is discouraged by the do
nothing system. Paul Tsongas is the former presidential candidate
who's only failing was lack of money. This conference is a place
to discuss these issues.

DND DND
Dungeons & Dragons Discussion Base
The purpose the International Dungeons & Dragons (DND) echo is to
provide an active forum for the discussion of "Dungeons &
Dragons" type mediaeval game systems. The DND echo is provided
for mediaeval fantasy role players to come together to exchange
ideas and experience, and to discuss new ideas as they relate to
the topic of the echo, and to further the course of their
experience and expertise as Players and GMs alike. This forum
has been designated as a "Discussion" echo only, and is a
companion to the "AD&D" echo, which is a "RPG Gaming" echo. The
running of role play games in the DND echo is strictly
prohibited.

ECHOLIST ECHOLIST
EchoList Access Conference
The International EchoList is an open repository of information
about electronic mail conferences, as defined and submitted by
the moderators of those conferences. The ECHOLIST conference
provides access to The International EchoList and it's publisher.
It is primarily meant as a convenient, read-only method for
people to see announcements of new and updated entries as they
are posted rather than waiting for the monthly publication and
distribution of the report files. The ECHOLIST conference
supports submitting ECHO QUERY messages, which produce as a reply
a report of the contents of the EchoList database. This
conference also provides access to the author and publisher for
questions and discussion of the database and the update process.
The ECHOLIST conference is NOT for discussion of the flow or
administration of EchoMail (refer to the ZEC conference for your
Zone), it is NOT for discussion of the internal operation of
EchoMail conferencing (refer to the MODERATOR conference), and it
is NOT for the discussion of finding and establishing EchoMail
links (refer to the ECHO_REQ conference). It is strictly a
conferenced method for access to the EchoList.

HOLY_BIBLE HLYBBL
Bible, Wholly Bible Related Discussions.
Exploring the Christian Holy Bible (serious Bible study only).
With so many "religions" and "three god cults" blatantly teaching
opposing doctrines while "claiming" to be representing "The
Bible", many are wisely deciding to look for themselves. No
profanity, lewdness, etc will be tolerated. Deliberate off-topic
messages and rule violations will not. be tolerated in the echo.
This is an internationally distributed Bible echo. Doctrines will
face "the Bible test" in an open forum. This should not be
confused with the psudo christian, three god cult echos or any
other cults or "denominations" of the RCC. This echo is extremely
strict because of the cost of international distribution. All
points MUST be documented by scripture! This is NOT a "chat" or
"fellowship" conference!. This the only true Christian Echo on
the Fidonet Backbone. We have a trinity of co-moderators, they

HUMANITIES HMNTS
International Humanities Echo
A general conference to foster the interdisciplinary discussions
between the various humanities. While the Fido world is awash
with the technical echos, there are very few echoes which serve
those who might have, accidentally or intentionally, taken a
*serious* interest in the humanities. Those echoes which do
exist, HISTORY, HISTORIA, PHILosophy, etc. are isolated from one
another, barring the sort of cross-curricular discussion which is
for the old liberal arts. The HUMANITIES echo seeks to address
this isolation and provide a forum for enlightened discussion.
All participants are welcome, though pseudonyms are not permitted
in this echo.

**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, and 3 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 200-250 messages per day for the entire network. K12net
(sm)(tm) is the mark of Jack Crawford. For more information file
request K12_INFO.ZIP from any of these members of the K12net

KATEBUSH KATEBUSH
Kate Bush Appreciation
Kate Bush is a musician/singer who is quite popular in Europe,
but has really never had much of a folowing in the United States.
She does have devoted fans, though, and many of us meet through
the KATEBUSH echo. Conversation is not completely limited to
KaTe, though; we tolerate discussion of artists who do or could
influence her work. Also, digests from usenet's Kate Bush
conference, rec.music.gaffa, are posted. The moderator will PAY
for distribution within Zone 1, and can arrange for gateways into
Zones 2 (UK or Sweden), 3 (Oz) and 6 (Hong Kong).

KIDS KIDS
International Kids Conference
The KIDS Echo Conference was established to allow young people
up to the age of 18 to have freedom of information
interchange in an environment that is directed primarily toward
an adult audience. Allowing our children to have an area of thier
own is necessary to give our kids the opportunity to expand
their capabilities in the age of electronics and home
computing. Our children are our most valued resources in the
persuit of a future for a nation with strong goals in
computers. Our future belongs to them. They are our destiny. The
KIDS Echo Conference was designed with them in mind.
Therefore, each adult should encourage its use and give it
direction. Direction without interferance except to insure
that the echo is wholesome and that it grows with common decency
as viewed by the public as a whole. Schools systems are
encouraged to participate in the KIDS echo. Our goal is to link
the schools all over the world in an environment which will
benefit our educators as well as our students. School projects
should be encouraged by our teachers and the echo used as a
basis for these projects. Additionally, the KidsNews newsletter
can be a viable medium for students, teachers, parents and
school organizations to express ideas and activities.
KidsNews is the official newsletter of the KIDS echo conference.
It is there for YOUR use.

NA_THE_ZOO NATHEZOO
The Zoo
NANET's "undescribeable" conference... When asked what it was
all about, Jeannine was hard pressed to come up with words to
describe this conference - it's not about any one topic... After
reading the conference for a while, I discovered it full of just
about everything - tidbits of useful information, discussions
about your health, computers and the disabled, trivia, and a host
of social issues along with anything else worth discussing.
Jeannine was right - there is no description fitting for 'The
Zoo'. You just have to try it for yourself - it'll be time well
spent! There's nothing else quite like it...

NEURAL_NET NRLNT
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Discussion Echo
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) represent the "bottom-up"
school of Artificial Intelligence modelling. ANNs are models of
cognitive computation based upon and inspired by biological
nervous systems, using many low level processors with massive
interconnection in order to accomplish significant function in
adaptive signal processing, pattern recognition, expert systems,
process control, DNA sequence recognition, and many other
applications. Cognitive and behavioral scientists are able to
model many phenomena through even the simple ANN models available
now. This Echo serves to support those interested in this
multi-disciplinary field to locate resources, discuss problems,
and exchange code related to ANNs. Significant news items from
the Usenet comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroup, Neuron Digest listings,
calls for papers, meeting announcements, and other news from the
outside world get posted in NEURAL_NET. Discussion of the
implications of ANN technology coexists with discussions of
applications. If thinking about the "how" of thinking appeals to
you, this Echo should be on your "must read" (and write) list.

POLITICS POLITICS
POLITICS
An open debate type conference for general political discussion.
Think of it as a "Letters to the Editor" column you can answer.
Heavy, take-no-prisoners debating. If you are going to get really
mad at someone who disagrees with you, or you have thin skin, you
don't belong here. EXPECT a hard time, and don't dish it out if
you can't take it. Minimal, bottom-line only interference from
the moderators as long as discussions stay on topic and things

PRAYER_NOW PRYRNW
Prayer Now!
Prayer Now! is a FidoNet "prayer chain" operating in the light of
what Jesus states in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
FidoNet is an excellent way to bring "two or three", or more
folks together, so why not use an echomail area as a prayer
channel? Prayer Now! is an echo that has two simple functions: To
ask for, and to offer prayers. That's it! Simple and to the
point. Got an event in your life, or a sick relative? Got a test
coming up? Need help with your family or the weather? Tell us
about it and receive coast to coast prayers as a result! Prayer
Now! is based on Christian beliefs, but all are welcome as long
as the user agrees to participate in the spirit of the echo.
Check out the PRAYER.RUL file (f'req from 379/26 or Elist
Coordinator) for more details, but basically no preaching or
debating - just prayers. File request PRAYER for sample messages
from 379/26.

REPRO_RIGHTS RPRRGHTS
Reproductive Rights (Choice) Issues
The usual reproduction equation is: get married, get pregnant,
give birth, raise a child. Alter even one part of that equation,
and most of our society doesn't know how to deal with you.
Chances are, our government doesn't want to deal with your unique
situation, either. That doesn't make YOU crazy; it just means
THEY don't understand. If you're interested in altering that
equation, or if you're interested in legislation or bureaucracy
that tries to make us conform our reproductive lives to their
standards, join us. This echo is intended to be a support group
and a clearinghouse for information that affects our most
personal family decisions. An open mind and a willingness to
tolerate others' choices is a prequisite for joining this
conference. Contact Donna at 114/113.11 to establish links; we
hope to be on the backbone before long.

seen on independent tv stations since January, 1993. Since it is
closely related to ST:TNG (with cross- characterization) there
will be _limited_ discussion of ST:TNG allowed on the echo, but
only as it pertains to the new series. Discussion of, or
comparison with, the "original" series (TOS), or with any other
Science Fiction series ("Babylon 5"), is frowned upon, and will
not be tolerated. But the technology of the era (Runabouts,

STERN-SHOW STRNSHW
Howard Stern Discussion Area
This is a conference dedicated to lovers of the #1 Morning DJ in
America, Howard Stern! If you watched his old TV show on WWOR,
or you listen to him on one of the many stations that he's on in
this country, then this is the place for you! Messages that
flame Howard aren't welcome here, but intelligent discussions
are. If you don't like Howard, that's fine, but you won't find
anything of interest here if you get it. Due to the rather adult
nature of Howard's show, discussions of the materials there will
spill over into this conference. Due to this, it might be a good
idea to restrict access to this conference to younger callers to
your BBS. This is a non- backbone conference, and for right now,
the only way to get a feed is to send private Netmail to Joe
Siegler at 1:124/9006. I'm hoping to get this on the Backbone
shortly, and with your help, I'm sure that this won't be a
problem, since he has a much wider coverage area now. Once again,
if you like Howard, you should poll for this conference!

can discuss King's novels, short stories, new works expected,
movies, trivia, etc. Opinions are welcome, as is the pooling of

those "hard to find" writings. Also welcome is any discussion on
author Tabitha King, and her works. Though comparisons between
the works of Mr. & Mrs. King, and other authors of their genres
is irrepressable, we do try to stay on topic!

likely to find someone with similar interests. Discussions range
from deadly serious to useless and everything in between. A
reasonable degree of freedom is given as to what can and cannot
be said (unlike in school), but the rules that do exist ARE
enforced. Handles are VERY strongly discouraged on this echo.
ALL systems with teenagers are welcome in the echo. (We accept

TOTT TOTT
Tott Echo [See Elist]
This area is for discussion of issues and problems facing teens
today. This is a support echo for teens who are facing problems
such as peer pressure, drugs, family problems, gangs, 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 are able to participate through a
special volunteer program, therefore, "Handles" are REQUIRED to
protect identities. T.O.T.T Sysop companion echo also REQUIRED
for Sysops. Sysops wishing to carry the TOTT echo agree to the
following guidelines: Configure your system to require handles on
the TOTT echo. Profanity, racial remarks, or name-calling are not
permitted. Criticism or putdowns of others' efforts (spelling,
grammar, opinions) are not acceptable. VERY IMPORTANT! Kids who
wind up in custody often have learning disabilities or come from
dysfunctional families where they have often "failed" or been
"put down" for their efforts. By accepting their efforts and
encouraging them to keep trying, we attempt to show them they can
be successful. Gang-related talk or messages are not permitted.
Please assist in identifying gang-related type messages which may
be different in different parts of the country. Alert us via
TOTT_SYSOP to any message you feel may be a problem. Agree to
carry and use the TOTT_SYSOP echo in order to remain up to date
on current issues or problems. Post a test message on TOTT_SYSOP
as soon as you receive the echo, giving us your name and the
name, net address and location of your BBS. Co-Ordinators: Faye

TOTT_SYSOP TTTSYSP
TOTT Sysop Echo [See Elist]
This echo is required for sysops who wish to carry the TOTT echo.
This is an administrative area which is intended to allow sysops
to discuss ideas, explore options and brainstorm about problems
posted on the TOTT echo. It should not be made available to
general users. TOTT_SYSOP should not be made available to the
general public. (NOTE: Moderator approval may be given for
exceptions IF an individual has a special need for/or can
contribute in a significant way to the TOTT_SYSOP echo. Please
contact us for approval if you have someone you feel should be
given access to this area.) TOTT_SYSOP prefers the use of real
names; Sysop handles are permitted if your software makes it
easier to use the same name/handle on both TOTT and TOTT_SYSOP.
Post a test message on TOTT_SYSOP as soon as you receive the
echo, giving us your name and the name, net address and location

Satellite TV is more than HBO or the Playboy Channel. It's more

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). Therefore, along with conversations involving dish

but NO posting of pirate decoder codes are allowed !! This is the
place to receive an education about TVRO. The echo has grown over
the years and several BBS's connected to the TVRO Echo are run by
technicians, video programmers, magazine publishers, and TVRO

domestic accusations, often in the context of ongoing litigative
disputes over child custody. Excesses and seizures of children

YEN_KI YENKI
Buddhism and American Culture
Buddhism has the wonderful ability of adapting to different
cultures and incorporating the best of each. In America, most
Buddhists received the dharma from teachers coming from Sri
Lanka, Japan, and other Asian countries. Yet, to be a Buddhist,
one does not need to adopt Sri Lankan, Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
Tibetan, and other beliefs. YEN_KI is for the discussion of
Buddhism and its interaction with everyday life in America. Its
name is a hybrid, just like American culture: Yen is a Chinese
word for fire, Ki is Japanese for energy. We discuss anything
from baseball and apple pie, through abortion and racism, to
Bodhisattva of Nazareth and Native American beliefs, all from a
dharma perspective. (Began March 26, 1993)
