- This is a short note to new readers, letting them know that there is a
- list of Frequently Asked Questions (with answers :-) posted to this
- group every two weeks. It attempts to answer basic questions such as
- "how do I get more information about railroad X," and "what should I
- buy if I'm just getting started."
-
- If the FAQ posting has expired from your site, you have three options
- for getting it before the next posting:
-
- - look in the group news.answers for a posting with the
- subject "rec.models.railroad Fortnightly FAQ" Most sites
- keep postings for a longer time in this group.
-
- - anonymous FTP from pit-manager.mit.edu, in the directory
- /pub/usenet/rec.models.railroad. If you don't know how to
- get something by anonymous FTP ask your local administrator
- or friendly guru.
-
- - sending mail to rjm@cs.brown.edu. NOTE: there is no
- automation of the responses, so please do this only if you
- can't wait and can't ftp. I'll send you the file when I get
- a chance, so it may not be immediately.
-
- This note will be posted on the weeks when the FAQ itself isn't, in an
- effort to make people aware of the list without broadcasting it too often.
