          UNIGROUP OF NEW YORK
                ANNOUCES
             SECOND MEETING

     The purpose of unigroup of new york
is  the  exchange  of  information.  The
theme of our September 28th  meeting  is
just  that.  We are fortunate to be able
to bring together four  experts  in  the
field of UNIX communications.

     Andrew  Tannenbaum,  Bell   Labora-
tories,  and  Daniel  Lorenzini, Philips
Laboratories, will discuss  Usenet,  the
primary   UNIX   network.    They   will
describe what is on the net and and  how
it  works.  This  topic  will be covered
from the point of view of both the  user
and the administrator.

     Peter Honeyman, formerly with  Bell
Laboratories   and   now   at  Princeton
University, will discuss problems of the
current  version  of uucp and the recent
improvements to the system.

     Louis Salkind of New  York  Univer-
sity will describe local area networking
(TCP) from Berkeley.

     At the conclusion of these  presen-
tations there will be an opportunity for
members to question the  speakers  about
these and other communications issues.

     There will  be  tables  for  vendor
literature  at  the meeting, and vendors
of UNIX-based products or  services  are
invited  to bring literature for distri-
bution.
