======================================================================
EchoNet(c) conferences:
Menu Name TAG
FORUM (*Required* conference for all EN Systems) FORUM
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
(No Aliases)
EchoNet's Premier Echo. The reason this network exists,
its raison d'etre, is to offer a SysOp's users quality
venues of international conversations; FORUM gives users the
opportunity to share non-topic-specific general chitchat
with participants throughout the United States and Canada.
All SysOps should encourage their callers to jump in and
chatter away on any thread appealing to them. Or to start
their own thread. Advertising other conferences in this one is
forbidden. (The Moderator will suggest a move to a more
appropriate conference when he feels such an action is
warranted.)
EchoNet requires each SysOp to carry only two echoes: ECHO50
(restricted to Enetlisted SysOps only) and FORUM, an echo open
to everyone.
All Trek ALL_TREK
Moderator: Mike Gurski 50:5410/1062
(Aliases Permitted)
A conference dealing with TREK and science fiction topics. If
your users are like most people today, anything even remotely
concerning itself with The Outer Realm of Space is POPULAR.
Amiga Talk AMIGA_TALK
Moderator: Dan McCarriar 50:5410/1056.6
(NO ALIASES)
Many Amiga SysOps and Users have requested the restoration of
our former AMIGA_TECH Echo and here it is. Dan has expanded the
topics to include discussions on any subject dealing with and of
specific interest to the Amiga computer operator.
Ask The Doctor ASK_THE_DOCTOR
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
(Aliases Permitted)
EchoNet(c) physicians, psychologists, nurses, therapists and
other health professionals, as well as informed "lay" people,
answer questions dealing with general health-related problems.
Aliases are permitted. This echo generates heavy traffic.
Please remember that all information contained in messages
is the personal opinion of the message poster and is not to be
taken as definitive medical advice. Acting on any information
obtained here is at your own risk. It is strongly suggested
that you obtain personal medical counseling.
BBS Games BBS_GAMES
Moderator: Dan McCarriar [moderates from] 50:5410/1083
(Aliases Permitted)
Discussions and help for playing online games. If you feature
online games, you should put this echo on the same menu - it is
one that "gamers" love. (This is NOT an echo for SysOps to
discuss problems concerning the setting up of online games; for
now, use ECHO50 for those needs.)
Cars CARS
Moderator: Dave Overton 50:5010/988
(Aliases Permitted)
A conference for discussion of anything related to cars. This
echo offers advice from professionals; it is also a great place
to rap about old jalopies, new models, gasoline prices, and
ways to keep you from the poor house on repairs.
| Desktop Publishing DTP
| Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
| (NO ALIASES)
|
| Today, who isn't somehow concerned or involved with SOME form
| of desktop publishing? This echo covers the entire spectrum of
| interest: community newsletters; company bulletins, pamphlets,
| forms; personal publishing - whatever. The gamut is huge. A SysOp
| may be unware of the interest many of his or her callers possess
| in the mighty arena of desktop publishing. Try DTP and see how
| many callers give you their thanks.
Diets DIETS
Moderator: Brian Cooney 50:5410/1081
(Aliases Permitted)
Anything having to do with dieting, including the discussion of
exercising, is welcome in this conference (except ads by
representatives/manufacturers of commercial products - discussions
on the pros and cons of commercial products and programs, however,
are allowed). Let us share with one another our strengths and
weaknesses, our gains and losses; what has worked and what has
failed. This is not the conference for the posting of recipes;
please use RECIPE_CORNER for that purpose. We have enough problems
losing weight without reading delicious-sounding (and weighty)
recipes. :-) Let's commiserate.
Echo Teen ECHO_TEEN
Moderator: Mike Gurski 50:5410/1062
Co-Moderator: Dan McCarriar 50:5410/1056.6
(Aliases Permitted)
A conference reserved for teenagers; lively and popular.
Employment EMPLOY
Moderator: Stan Hirschman 50:5612/40
(NO ALIASES)
One of the two chief topics of the EMPLOY Echo is the
procurement of jobs: employment offerings must declare all
pertinent information regarding the opening. As an IMPORTANT
part of this conference, the second chief topic in EMPLOY is
the opportunity for all of us to chit-chat about the many
facets of concern in today's marketplace. How do I get a job
in the 90s? How do I keep it? How to deal with the fact that
more and more companies are dumping insurance costs onto the
non-union employee. Does a modern company benefit from
offering psychological counseling to its employees? Is middle
age an unsafe time to make a career change? Etcetera.
All-Sports Echo EN_SPORTS
Moderator: Sonya Whitaker-Quandt 50:5305/3
(Aliases Permitted)
Lively discussions on just about anything directly related
to regulation sports; armchair participants and Monday Morning
Quarterbacks are definitely welcome.
Enet Hobbies ENET_HOBBIES
Moderator: John Radford 50:5410/1083
(Aliases Permitted)
Nifty conference for those wanting to chat about their hobbies.
Stamp collecting, fishing, model railroading, bicycling, etc.,
are welcome topics among loads of others, except modeming and
computers (they have their own echoes). The discussions are as
diverse as the topics.
Fanta-Sci FANTA-SCI
Moderator: Mike Gurski 50:5410/1062
(Aliases Permitted)
For Fantasy and SciFi buffs.
This conference differs from ALL_TREK in that it attracts users
who LOVE SCI/FI but not necessarily the Star Trek series.
Moderator Mike Gurski is no weakling when it comes to the
strength demanded by your users in this genre. Give it a try!
Flea Market FLEA_MARKET
Moderator: Bob Tarallo 50:5813/601
(NO ALIASES)
Most BBS users run to the system's For Sale conference faster
than they do to any other echomail area. There is something
exhilarating about buying and selling over a modem that has no
equal in any other media; a camaraderie is quickly established
which returns the same people again and again, if only to read
the "ads." FLEA MARKET will become a prominent area on your
board.
Frivolous Follies FRIVOLOUS_FOLLIES
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
(NO ALIASES)
This echo exists solely for light-hearted, decent and good-natured
humor; *NO* licentious messages (including sexual innuendo and
so-called "adult humor") are permitted; a conference for silliness,
not vulgarity. Who determines the difference? The Moderator, who
will give only one warning before offenders are required to leave
the echo.
This is not a general conversation conference; please use EchoNet's
FORUM Echo for all-around chatter.
General Programming GEN_PROG
Moderator: Mike Wilson 50:5817/1
(NO ALIASES)
To discuss and answer questions on the topic of programming.
Short routines may be shared as well. Popular languages include C,
Pascal BASIC, Assembly Language, dBASE, Prolog, ADA, COBOL,Fortran.
| House and Garden HOUSE_GARDEN
| Moderator: John Radford 50:5410/1083
| (Aliases Permitted)
|
| House fix-ups, paint-ups, repairs; house and garden hints, tips
| questions & answers. You and your callers will enjoy the lively
| conversations and ideas on working around the house and in the
| garden. More than a seasonal conference, House and Garden is the
| echo for those who live in an apartment, condo, mobile home,
| house, and want to fix or plant something all year long.
InterMail Support IM-SUPPORT
Moderator: Michele Hamilton-Stewart 50:5305/21
(NO ALIASES)
The official EchoNet InterMail support conference; all Inter-
Zone products can be covered. The InterMail System - Mailer,
Editor, Nodelist Manager, IMSetup - advanced and effective mail
system chosen by many SysOps. The author, Peter Stewart, and
his Michele are always available in the echo.
Kid Power KID_POWER
Moderator: Bonnie Lind 50:5305/18
(Aliases Permitted)
A conference for the use of young modemers. PLEASE NOTE: This
is NOT a TEEN echo; it is designed for pre-teens.
Longterm Pain LONGTERM_PAIN
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
(Aliases Permitted)
This conference addresses exclusively longterm or enduring pain
sufferers. It is for educational and sympathetic purposes only:
no advice or "therapy" offered by anyone, including professional
health care providers, is meant to replace or even supplement the
care given by your own personal health care provider. NEVER follow
any suggestions in this or any other EchoNet conference dealing
with health issues without first consulting your own physician!
Memory Lane MEMORY_LANE
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
(Aliases Permitted)
This conference offers you and your callers friendly nostalgia/
trivia/light conversations. It is uniquely different and
original to similar echoes on other networks. Once a user
posts in this echo, it is rare that s/he fails to make a
reappearance.
Modemers MODEMERS
Moderator: Judy Proctor 50:5601/12
(Aliases Permitted)
This conference restricts its threads to topics dealing with
addiction to modeming. (Topics of a general-interest ilk
belong in Free-Spirit Echo.) Does your spouse or significant
other resent the fact that you spend more time at a keyboard in
front of a monitor than with her or him? Do you occasionally
forget to mow the lawn, vacuum the rug, cook the dinner, pick
up the kid from school? Do you defend your actions as a mere
hobby and not something which possesses you? Does the excuse,
"Just give me a few more minutes, I am almost finished" sound
familiar? This conference is for you, then. And it will also
magnetize your users!
Mom Talk MOM_TALK
Moderator: Bonnie Lind 50:5305/18
(Aliases Permitted)
Kids and teen-agers have their conferences, why not busy moms?
This is a conference where the female parent can share ideas,
frustrations, school talk, etc., with her peers throughout the
states and Canada.
PLEASE NOTE: This conference has expanded, to include participation
from all family members.
Movies and TV MOVIES_&_TV
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
(Aliases Permitted)
Friendly discussions on movies and television shows.
Para Realm PARA_REALM
Moderator: Cathy Emerson [moderates from] 50:5305/66
(Aliases Permitted)
Lively discussion of topics related to the para realm.
Few people today can resist the realm of the unknown. Some
will claim they don't take this "stuff" seriously, while others
will fight to death over the wealth of futuristic knowledge
found in crystal balls. Even if you DON'T believe, many of
your users DO. CAUTION: This is NOT an echo for debate!
PC Tech PC_TECH
Moderator: Ted Rosenberg [moderates from] 50:5410/1056
Co-Moderator: Bob Donaldson 50:5602/17
(NO ALIASES)
Discussions on and about IBM-style personal computers.
If Ted or Bob don't know what to advise you and your users on
PC problems, some of the users will! This is a very popular
echo.
Pet Talk PET_TALK
Moderator: Jeff Emerson [moderates from] 50:5305/66
(Aliases Permitted)
Friendly discussions about pets of all kinds; sometimes the
pets post their own messages.
Phone Line PHONE_LINE
Moderator: Alan Gilbertson 50:5020/2
(NO ALIASES)
Phone Line is the conference to discuss and ask questions about
all aspects of telecommunications: phone lines and phone
companies, phones (regular, cellular, cordless, and pay),
amateur and commercial broadcasting and CATV, fiber optics and
lasers, microwave, satellites, modems, fax machines, and two
tin cans with string tied between them.
Pirates Beware PIRATES_BEWARE
Moderator: Dan McCarriar 50:5410/1056.6
(Aliases Permitted)
Deals with preventing software piracy. Discussions are often
heated and always fascinating.
Pros & Cons PROS&CONS
Moderator: James Ray 50:5817/201
(NO ALIASES)
This is the conference where hot debates on both sides of
popular issues are welcome AS LONG AS disputes are not reduced
to "four-letter-word" style denigrations. Argue. Debate.
Voice your opinion dynamically - but DON'T call your adversary
an "a**hole" "b**ch" "moth**-f*****" or the like. This is the
ONLY conference, however, in EchoNet that permits just about
any type of debate on almost any topic, done in a manner that
allows one to "let loose."
Recipe Corner RECIPE_CORNER
Moderator: Fred Peters [moderates from] 50:5410/1056
Co-Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
(Aliases Permitted)
A friendly, informal and chatty kitchen-hints (cooking) and
recipe exchange conference.
Don't be surprised if the guy who just spent thirty minutes in
one of your technical echoes suddenly begins reading/posting in
this popular echo. It is a very busy conference - gourmet to
down-home cooking.
Religion RELIGION
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
(NO ALIASES)
Want an echomail conference where Christians, Jews, Muslims,
Agnostics, Atheists - whatever - can openly discuss/debate
religion? RELIGION is not a conference where "bashing" of any
kind is permitted; only sincere and friendly opinion exchanges
are welcome. This is neither a wimpy nor a belligerent
conference: healthy contending is acceptable, discountenancing
is prohibited. This DOES NOT mean that sincere debates cannot
be heated and personal.
RV CAMP RV_CAMP
Moderator: Barbara O'Keefe 50:5305/554
(NO ALIASES)
RV_CAMP is for the exclusive discussion of your recreational
vehicle, trailer, or whatever you use to go on camping trips.
It offers us the opportunity to let each other know of new
types of equipment, good places to camp in the US, (as well
as though to stay away from). Please be friendly and helpful
to each other.
Safe Space SAFE_SPACE
Moderator: Phil Scovell 50:5015/810
(Aliases Permitted)
Disability-related personal support.
Do you know if one or more of your users is handicapped? One
SysOp reported that he had a user for over a year without
knowing the man was nearly blind. When this conference was
added to the board, the man wrote a two-screen message of
thanksgiving!
Sharps & Flats SHARPS&FLATS
Moderator: Tina Braun [moderates from] 50:5011/1
(Aliases Permitted)
A conference themed to all kinds of music.
Music conferences are always welcome by all BBS users.
Chit-chat not related to music is unwelcome.
Wits End WITS_END
Moderator: Alan Gilbertson 50:5020/2
(Aliases Permitted)
A home away from home for wayward witticisms, stray puns,
orphaned double-entendres, and other linguistic outcasts.
Wits End is dedicated to the wit and humor that derives from
and is a tribute to the richness of human language, the
insouciance of its participants, and the Spirit of Play in
all of us. The purpose is light-hearted entertainment and
pleasure for all who care to participate.
Work At Home WORK-AT-HOME
Moderator: Al Thorley 50:5019/301.1
(Aliases Are Not Encouraged)
Do you earn your living from working out of your home? Would
you like to - do you want to know the ins and outs involved
with entrepreneurship a la maison? Does a particular product
or service demand your desire to market it, but you are not
quite sure if it will fly? Is there a group of people ready to
assist you in learning how viable, how marketable, how
successful are your prospects? Here is the conference to
answer those inquiries.
Writers WRITERS
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
Co-Moderator Alan Gilbertson 50:5020/2
(Aliases Permitted)
A chatty conference dealing with all phases of writing,
including poetry. This conference is not for those who feel
the itch to attend an inexpensive writing seminar or to have
their work critiqued; it is for amateurs and published
professionals who simply desire a friendly and informal
messaging base on the craft of writing and literature in
general.
**The following conferences have restricted status:**
Echo50 ECHO50
Moderators: John Radford 50:5410/1083
Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
*Restricted to EchoNet(c) SysOps* (NO ALIASES)
Required conference for and restricted to ALL EchoNet(c)
nodelisted SysOps. Official announcements concerning all
EchoNet SysOps are in ECHO50; said messages are addressed
TO: SYSOP and are posted from the IZC, ZEC, ZNTC or an RC.
(NCs should create their own local echo for their net.)
Netwide technical issues are permitted; once the discussion
enters the realm of individual software package differences and
techniques, the discussion becomes off-topic and must be moved
to ENET_TECH. Chit-chat is permitted, as are welcome messages
to/from the IZC.
EchoNet Moderators ECHOMOD
Moderator: Michele Hamilton-Stewart 50:5305/21
*Restricted to EchoNet(c) Moderators* (NO ALIASES)
If the echo you moderate is on the Backbone, you belong here.
Enet Tech ENET_TECH
Moderator: John Radford 50:50/200
*Restricted to EchoNet(c) SysOps* (NO ALIASES)
Zone NodeTech Coordinator John Radford attempts to assist our
SysOps with their technical problems; all SysOps are most
welcome to offer their own ideas and comments. The forum is
conversational, not didactic in nature.
Games Setup GAMES_SETUP
Moderator: Mike Gurski 50:5410/1062
*Restricted to EchoNet(c) SysOps* (NO ALIASES)
This conference makes its second appearance after a six-month
hiatus. Many of the newer SysOps have repeatedly expressed a
desire for a conference where SysOps could help each other solve
set-up problems with BBS on-line games, so this conference
rejoins the Backbone.
Star C Echo STARC_ECHO
Moderator: Ed Lawyer 50:5410/1056
*Restricted to EchoNet(c) *Cs (NO ALIASES)
Required for all *Cs. (A *C is a Coordinator, not a Hub.) As
a courtesy to our Hubs, they may have read-only access to this
conference.

Passing EchoNet(c) echoes to a non-EchoNet(c) BBS violates
