This mail list is accessible as NEURTRAN@ISNET.INMOS.COM. Some earlier announcement(s) may have listed it as neurtran-request, but due to some site problems, that long of a name won't work, so anyone who is interested in subscribing, getting info, making contributions, etc. should just communicate to neurtran@isnet.inmos.com.
