I am new to this newsgroup and I was wondering if anyone out there would be interested in creating a newsgroup for discussion on Intelligent Networks and Supplementary Services. I previously posted articles on the subject and I have response from about three people. There might be others who are interested but didn't get around to answering my questions. [Note to the moderator: I don't know anything about setting up a newsgroup or what it might cost. I don't even know if a newsgroup were to be setup whether my department (at the University of Queensland) will import it.

Typically there will be a month or so of discussion, and in the past, this was followed by a period of voting. I understand the procedure may be changing somewhat. The assumption would be that the person who called for the new group would have already made arrangements with his site, at least, to carry it. But you may find that attempts to establish new groups relating to discussion of telecom related -- even in a peripheral way -- material meet with some resistance from users here who prefer to see all such postings kept in this group, since they subscribe to the list, but cannot read Usenet. And, honestly Anthony, you are quite welcome to stick around. There are many on Usenet who feel 'there are already too many groups' who would also resist. Stick around and present your comments here for awhile, okay? PT]

I would be happy to discuss IN with you. We manufacture a telephony based network management system here at Linton Technology. I try to keep up on what is happening in the areas you mentioned. I would be all for a new group on this but doubt you'll get anywhere. So if you're looking for people who are interested in discussing these things put my name on the list.
