Hi, I have question about commertial BBS called PAN(Performance
Artists Network). I heard about this in a journal, and I am
interested. What kind of BBS is PAN? Which number to call to
connect to?
I am posting this for my friend, so I am not regular reader
of this newsgroup. Please reply by e-mail. If somebody is also
interested, drop me a line and I will forward messages to you.
Thanks in advance.

PAN is a commercial BBoard service for the music industry. It is a good place to communicate with music companies, musicians, and lots of MIDI programmers from all over the world. They have been trying to get more music research people on PAN but haven't had much success. The international representation on PAN is pretty amazing, with people dialing in from Austraila, France, Germany, England, etc. There is also an extensive tour support service, which many touring bands use to stay in touch with themselves and the home office. It is NOT the "Performing Arts Network", according to its founder, Perry Leopold. Just call it PAN. You may not have heard of it, but they've heard of you! (I've been uploading comp.music onto PAN for several months.) It can be reached through Tymnet and Telenet just like compuserve, and costs about the same: $24/hour 8AM-6PM, $12/hour 6PM-8AM. (There is a one time sign up fee of $150 in most cases, which is waived under some cases. I know that Opcode gives away a fee waiver with purchase of their products.) For more information call (215) 584-0300, or write PAN at P.O. Box 162, Skippack, PA 19474. Disclaimer: I worked for Perry writing an automated Hypercard front end for PAN. It acts as a remote control information agent so that you spend no time online using arcane editors and commands, and all of your time downloading, reading, and replying to messages through effecient hypercard stacks. Perry also has a version for PC's which is functionally identical, but uses a text interface. (It works pretty good too, which is something coming from a Mac-a-holic) Of course, if you *want* to read the entire 50 page manual and fill your brain with the details of how to use their one-of-a-kind editor and message system, go right ahead. -- Oishii Ichigo | "Unhappy?

I asked this question a few days ago, and got 3 "I would like to know too!"
requests, but no answer. Nobody out in networld know even number to call, or
address to write? PLEASE! Spend a few minites to check article you might have
about PAN. At least 4 people in networld want to know about that.
