    EFF AWARDED DVORAK/ZOOM AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS
                     AT ONE BBSCON IN DENVER

  On August 13, the Electronic Frontier Foundation was the recipient of
  one of twelve Dvorak/Zoom Telecommunications Awards. The Dvorak/Zoom
  awards are to be given annually in order to recognize individuals and
  organizations that have made a difference to telecommunications and
  the BBS conferencing industry.

  The awards were given for the first time at a presentation ceremony
  during One BBSCON in Denver. The EFF was cited for "helping to keep
  telecommunications safe from the potential perils of out-of-control
  legal departments and over zealous law enforcement agencies."  The
  award also noted that the EFF has become "an extremely important
  advocacy group for online telecommunications users."

  Also honored in the awards ceremony were:
      The WELL
      Channel 1 BBS
      Tom Jennings of Fidonet
      Chuck Forsberg for Zmodem
      John Friel III for Qmodem
      Phil Katz for PKZip
      Ward Christensen for Xmodem
      Ward Christensen and Randy Seuss for BBS 1
      Tom Smith for Procomm for Windows
      Marshall Dudley for Doorway
      The Rockwell Design Team for First Single Package
          V.32N.32bis Chipset

  A more detailed report on the activities of ONE BBSCON will be the 
  subject of a forthcoming edition of EFFector Online.
