This is to announce formation of a network user group for Xerox 1100
workstations (Dolphins). Its purpose is to stimulate communication and
sharing between computer science research groups that are using or are
interested in these machines. It differs from the WORKS group in that
it will focus on issues particular to Dolphins rather than on
workstations in general.
Xerox PARC and EOS people are included in the distribution list to
facilitate communications about new developments, bugs, performance
issues, etc. As with all network interest groups, however, this is
*NOT* to be used as a vendor advertising vehicle.
User Group Mechanics --
1) Network Addresses:
Dolphin-Users@SUMEX-AIM For mail distributed to the
entire user group
Dolphin-Requests@SUMEX-AIM For distribution list
maintenance, i.e., additions,
deletions, problems, etc.
2) Mail Handling: SUMEX-AIM will serve as the expansion point for
routing messages to group members. We run XMAILR and so can route
between most of the current internet community.
3) Administration: Initially, messages will be sent to the list as
submitted. Depending on the volume of mail, content, etc., messages
may be collected and digested in the future.
I have assembled a list of known Dolphin users and liaisons from various
sources for this initial announcement. Please pass the word on to
others you think might be interested.
