                   Thank you for your message.  Because we have
                   this "bionet.technology.conversion" interna-
                   tional discussion area  for  e.g. teleconfe-
                   rencing, I think that we could  take your BB
                   as a part of our system. Is the computer you
                   are using for your BB also in Internet, News
                   or  BITNET?  If  so,  the   connections  are
                   perhaps easy to be made.

                   Regards,

Juhani,

	I believe that Dr. Greenbaum contacted us about this some time
back and my recollection is that this is a PC-based bulletin board
system.  If my memory is incorrect on this point or if things have
changed, it definitely makes sense to pursue this.  Is this service
going to last beyond the meeting, though?  If so, why not just get
everyone to sign on to this group?
