You may change the address you are subscribed with (currently

assuming that you keep the same password.

Welcome to the nos-bbs mailing list!

Please save this message for future reference.

This list was started mainly for discussion of how to run the JNOS
version of KA9Q NOS as something approximating a full-service BBS.  The
scope of the list has broadened somewhat since then.

JNOS development was started by Johan WG7J (building on the base
established by Phil Karn KA9Q, with contributions from PA0GRI, SM0RGV,
G1EMM and many others).  Johan maintained the code until April 1994 (up
to version 1.10C). The JNOS maintainer is now James Dugal, N5KNX
(jpd@usl.edu).  Other NOS variants frequently discussed on this list
include the Linux port of JNOS (based on v1.09) maintained by Brandon
Allbery, KF8NH (bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org), and the 108dff DOS version
maintained by Doug Crompton, WA3DSP (crompton@nadc.nadc.navy.mil).  TNOS
by Brian Lantz, KO4KS (brian@lantz.com) is also discussed, but it also
has its own mailing list.  To subscribe, send mail to listserv@lantz.com
with the single line 'add tnos-topics' in the text.

Discussion of non-BBS issues which are likely to be of interest to NOS
users and sysops, such as the convers server, NNTP, POP, etc, are also
welcome. Many of the list subscribers are active contributors to the
development of the JNOS code.  The list is unmoderated, and is
maintained by Barry McLarnon, VE3JF (bm@hydra.carleton.ca).

Submissions to the list go to:

nos-bbs@hydra.carleton.ca

The list currently accepts postings from anyone.  This could change back
to subscriber-only posting if it is abused!

Subscription/deletion requests and other administrivia go to:

listproc@hydra.carleton.ca

To subscribe, send the line:

subscribe nos-bbs YourName YourCallsign [if any]

The mailing list is also available in daily digest form.  To get the
digest distribution add the following line to your message (or send it
later in a separate message):

set nos-bbs mail digest

Please note that if you subscribe to the digest, your contributions
still go to nos-bbs@hydra.carleton.ca, *not* to nos-bbs-digest!

To unsubscribe, send the line:

unsubscribe nos-bbs

The listserver will complain if you don't send this from the address
that you originally subscribed from.  If you can't do that, you'll have
to send a message to the list maintainer (bm@hydra.carleton.ca) for
help.

Archives are available of the daily digests from January 1993, by
anonymous ftp from hydra.carleton.ca in subdirectories under
pub/hamradio/packet/tcpip/nos-bbs/.

Recent digests (since Sept 94) are available by mail.  For a list of the
files, send the request

index nos-bbs

to listproc@hydra.carleton.ca, and to fetch a file, send the request

get nos-bbs <filename>
 
You can send multiple requests per message, one per line.  You can also
search the archive for keywords or other patterns, using the request

search nos-bbs -all <pattern>

where <pattern> is an egrep-style regular expression.

Note that nos-bbs list mail has its reply path set to the list address,
so if you use the 'reply' command in your mailer, your reply will go to
all of the mailing list subscribers.  Please keep in mind that sometimes
it is more appropriate to send a private reply!  Also keep in mind that
this list is gatewayed to many packet radio systems, where intemperate
language is highly unwelcome... if you feel compelled to flame someone,
please do it it in private mail.  Enjoy!

Barry VE3JF
