_]I think I might actually be posting to the most appropriate news groups 
_]now.....

	don't feel too bad, it is sometimes a tough call to figure where
	to post.

_]Anyways,  I'm conducting some research on the development of electronic 
_]networks in Canada.  In doing a literature review, I've found few academic 
_]articles on the sociological or cultural implications of comp networks in 
_]Canada.  As you may have guessed, I'm in need of such references.

	Your big problem is that there is nothing written down about
	stuff that is still in development as we write.  You have to
	talk to people who are running the nets to get the info you want.
	You will be writing the papers you want, not reading them

_]If you have any advice or information, as to where I might find such 
_]references, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

	Jud Newell at Canada Remote Systems in Mississauga.  Founder
	  of CRS (nee RCPM) and the North-Ameri-Net.
	You aso want to talk to the guy (can't remember his name) that
	  kicked off Fidonet.
Both of these BBS/e-mail nets are bigger than Envoy in nodes and traffic,
although not as big as the internet.

	There are 4-5 other nets of various sizes other than these 2.
	  Some all-Can others cross border.

	You want to talk to people at Bell Can Datapac.  Datapac was
	  cutting edge stuff back when the internet was a gleam in the
	  designers' eyes.
	Talk to Compuserv about the phenom of the CB-Simulator sometime.
	And Genie
The latter two are avail in Can tho they are US based... still
_]Thanks.
