telecom@eecs.nwu.edu (TELECOM Moderator) (10/01/89)
Mr. William Fenner has provided the Digest with a Fidonet address. This can be used to send mail here. It forwards direct, and eliminates the former hassle of two step addressing for Fido people. Telecom Digest 129/87 from any Fido node via netmail will terminate at 'hogbbs.fido.com' and be forwarded right out to me here in Evanston. My thanks to Mr. Fenner for making this alias available on his system. Speaking of addresses, here is a complete list of addresses which can be used to write TELECOM Digest. If one does not work for you for some reason, then another one might. telecom@eecs.nwu.edu (preferred address, for submissions) telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu (preferred address for list changes, etc) telecom@cs.bu.edu (a backup address if eecs lets you down) telecom@hogbbs.fido.com (another backup address) telecom@nuacca.bitnet (for Bitnet correspondents) Telecom Digest 129/87 (for use from Fido sites) (telecom 129/87 also works) ptownson@eecs.nwu.edu (for personal mail to me) 155296378 (ans:ptown) (Telex; slower, but eventually forwards here) For next: Every letter sent to the above addresses (except ptownson and telex) generates an autoreply message from here. This lets you know your mail/Digest submission was received, and when it got here. Sometimes autoreply fails, for various reasons, but usually because some site along the way messes up the 'from:' line on your message, and the autoreply itself bounces back to me. Just because you don't get one, don't assume I did not get your mail unless a few days pass and you still have heard nothing -- not even a 'real' reply from me. Finally, the mail: As much as I would love to, I have absoutely no control over the delivery of Digests. Delivery on the Internet is pretty predictable, but off the net to Usenet, Bitnet, Compuserve, etc is anyone's guess regards time of delivery, etc. Please note that each issue of the Digest leaves here in numerical order, spaced at least 40-60 minutes apart. If you get them by the boatload -- a dozen one day and none the next -- there is nothing I can do about it, sorry. If you are missing a copy, let me know, because I can always send replacements. Have a happy October, and a nice fall season! Patrick Townson
