Subject: Eastern European countries to join EARN
This note was posted on another list--I thought HUMANISTs might
be interested.

The following information about network connections via BITNET came to me
via the INFO-NETS list. I thought the denizens of XCUL might be
interested.
Subject: New countries
EARN has recently received authorization from the U.S. Department of
Commerce to connect Eastern European countries to the network.
This authorization is subject to some limitations on access to
supercomputers and on line speed which, in fact, do not limit the use of
EARN, as EARN does not allow interactive traffic on international lines,
and does not use fast international lines.
As soon as this authorization has been given, the BoD has been requested
to vote on the 5 outstanding country applications, and the result of the
vote has been positive.
So EARN has now 5 new members: Bulgaria, Ckechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland
and USSR.
Poland is going to connect very soon: the international node at Warsaw
University will be a BASF computer (IBM clone) running VM, and will
connect through RSCS to Denmark. The line is on order, and is sheduled to
be installed in June.
Regarding other countries, India is connecting to CERN (the line has been
installed few days ago), and Tunisia will be connected, through a PPSDN
X.25 connection to Montpellier, in about 2 weeks.

Subject: IOUDAIOS, a new list
Fellow Humanists:
IOUDAIOS (Greek for "Jew") is an electronic seminar devoted to the
exploration of first-century Judaism; its special interest is in the
writings of Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus. The list began as
an informal discussion of two papers by Robert A. Kraft (Penn- sylvania)
but has quickly blossomed into an international forum, with participants
in North America, Europe and the U.K., the Middle East, and Australia.
The Philonic and Josephan corpora are extensive enough that they invite
many kinds of analysis -- literary, philological, historical, and
philosophical/theological, to name a few. And there is considerable
interest among group members in the social realities that lie behind
these texts.
New members are welcome. The discussion assumes a significant
background in first-century Judaism as well as some knowledge of ancient
Greek. To subscribe to IOUDAIOS, send an interactive command to
LISTSERV@YORKVM1 with the one-line message:
SUBSCRIBE IOIUDAIOS your (human) name
So, on a CMS/VM system, one would write:
TELL LISTSERV@YORKVM1 SUBSCRIBE IOUDAIOS your name
