[cross-posted to a number of groups, please edit the newsgroups line.] I created alt.fax a little while ago on somewhat of a whim, in order to find out some information about facsimile equipment that I'm considering purchasing, and to figure out which international standards were relevant. So far the discussion has been reasonable, literate, and quite informative. The original posting suggested that 'comp.mail.fax' would be a reasonable name. Since then the tone of discussion has veered away from a strictly electronic mail perspective towards a more general data communications perspective. In order to give the group a little more visibility, and to test the waters for a possible call for votes, I'd like to entertain discussion on the appropriateness of the name 'comp.dcom.fax' for a new group. No votes yet, please; I'm not sure that the group propogates well enough or far enough yet. Some time after usenix I'll set up mailboxes and run a proper survey. --Ed Edward Vielmetti, U of Michigan comp center electronic communications group
