I know about USENET news group sci.lang, but I still support Anthony
Aristar's idea of a linguistics list. Some of the discussion in
sci.lang is worthwhile, but a lot of it could be routed to WORDS-L per
Kevin Donnely's comments without being missed. However, it might be
nice if a real moderated linguistics list could be gatewayed to
sci.lang, if that is the term. That would have the effect of reducing
the number of entities, and would improve the quality of sci.lang.

You may get this message (or similar) soon from another souce, but I
wanted to get the ball rolling ASAP...
It has come to my attention that Prokhorov (sp?), the VP of the National
Academy of Science in Moscow is at present decidign whether or not to
allow Bitnet into the Soviet Union (apparently all connections so far
have been without "official" approval). There are those who would just
as soon NOT have any location in the SU connected to ANY international
net, much less Bitnet. How can we perhaps sway the decision to allow
Bitnet in and provide ALL who want it (especially in the universities)
the freedom of info that we now enjoy? By contacting all VIP's (or
non-VIPs) you know in the SU and urge them to contact Prokhorov and urge
him to OK it. It is very important that scientists and academicians of
ALL types in the West contact the SU. Even if events in the Soviet
Union are not your interest, help strike a blow for freedom. The
alternative is a Soviet Union further isolated. Pass this message on to
any person you can think of, as well as any net you belong to.

Yes, sort of. Send a note (email) to your favorite Listserv site (or
to the real listserv list site, and yes, this is a case where you send
to LISTSERV per se, and NOT to the list) with the body of text:
INDEX listname
when listname is the name of the list. What will be returned to
you is, among other things is a list of the mail archives (generally
by month) along with the record (line) counts. If this seems excessive
to you, then don't subscribe.
BTW not all lists are setup for non-subscribed users to fetch the INDEX
(I think).

I am anxious to know if there is any sort of computer network
link to the University of Papua New Guinea. Any leads, advice,
addresses, names to contact, etc. would be welcome. Please

There have recently been a number of requests for information about
electronic lists on various topics. Rich Zellich, then
ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA, now probably ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.EDU, maintains such
an integrated list, regularly updated. My most recent copy is about 18
months old, so he may be doing something else now. The attached is the
first few lines of a list description which may help with the specific
enquiry. It is the only list given which claims to deal with
architecture (other than computer architecture).
It is my impression that this list-of lists does not include the Usenet
newsgroups, of which there are hundreds.
