The Navigate Mailing List, an interactive workshop for Internet novices
at Buffalo.edu, is taking a breather.  The list owner plans, at some
indefinite future time, to start his mailing list up again.

I am following the NewList Mailing List. When Navigate starts up again
its likely that a notice will be posted there.  I will post a message in
the new Internet Echo (see next item below) when Navigate starts up
again.

Good News.  As promissed here is an announcement for the Internet Echo
on Fido Net:

Date:   Sun Jan 17 1993  10:38:04
From:   Adam Michlin
To:     All
Subj:   INTERNET echo

The INTERNET echo is now available:

This echo is for novices and other non-experts to discuss the use of
the Internet.  Finally, a place where the question "How do I send
netmail from my fidonet address to my friend on the Internet and
vice versa?" is on-topic.

What INTERNET is:
o A place to ask "dumb" questions like:
* How do I get a node-number on the Internet?
* How can I get a full Usenet feed with my 1200 bps modem and
my Fidonet mailer?
o A place to discuss getting access to the Internet, and getting
Usenet feeds.
o A place to discuss the "cool" places to FTP from, how to
FTP/Telnet, and how to be polite about FTP'ing.
o You don't know what FTP'ing is?  INTERNET is the echo for you.
o A place to discuss how to address mail from Fidonet to other
non-Fidonet technology networks such as Compuserve.

What INTERNET isn't:
o An overly technical echo.  Topics like "Getting the best
throughput with UUCP-G" will be tolerated, but not looked upon
favorably =) o A place to discuss the actual technical issues behind
running your own Usenet/Internet gateway.  (For this, you might try
the UFGATE echo).

Why?:
o  Why not?
o  It's needed.  The OTHERNETS echo gets a lot of Internet related
traffic and needs to return back to Fidonet technology related
issues.  How many times have you seen someone ask something
about the Internet in an echo that has nothing to do with
the Internet?  I see many messages like that consistently in
all sorts of echos.

Who?:
o  The moderators are Adam Michlin@143/143 and Software John@143/8.
I (Adam) am the current moderator of the backbone echo OTHERNETS,
and to some extent an Internet novice myself.  John runs the
Internet<->Fidonet connection for Net 143 and will be the
resident 'expert'.

Where?:
o Currently available from:
Adam Michlin    1:143/143
Software John   1:143/8
Guy Martin      1:143/269
Mark Woolworth  1:209/710
Barry Kapke     1:125/125

Best wishes Adam with your new undertaking. J.
