Tom of C-Side is holding off his mailing for at least two more weeks, until he has his BBS operational, so we have a chance to think thru some implications, here. 1) He's got 500 names he mails to, ~300 in the US. Are we prepared to welcome them all to Katemas parties? I hope we are, as they're surely the truest and the bluest, but the thought is a wee bit alarming... 2) Can I include info on what's involved in getting folks hooked into the net, if they've got the will? How did C&V do it? (I guess I can ask V that!) What other public access facilities are available? 3) Can we get volunteers in other cities to offer their phone numbers even if there's no Katemas involved, just to answer questions and serve as centers of communication? Reaching out for the star that explodes...!

How did C&V do it? (I guess I can ask V > that!) What other public access facilities are available? Did you get my last email message (sent on the 23rd)? I plan to get a copy of the Nixpub monthly posting so that the [Big Sky] BBS can be a first point of contact for fans looking for Love-Hounds access. Since anyone who wants Love-Hounds access is going to need a computer and a modem, anyone who wants access can just call and check the Nixpub listing for their area code. If you're not familiar with the Nixpub listing it contains access information for 115 public access UNIX systems. For instance, here in my area (614) we have... !04/91 614-868-9980 bluemoon Reynoldsburg OH 3/12/24/96 24 ! 80486, ISC 386/ix 3.2.2; Multiple lines, HST Dual on -9980 & -9982, ! Telebit T2500 on -9984; 2gb disk space; Bluemoon BBS -- supporting UNIX, ! graphics, and general interest; Full USENET, gated Fidonet conferences, ! E-Mail; ! Contact:grant@bluemoon.uucp (Grant DeLorean). Oh, and I still like the idea of calling the digest _Hair of the Hound_! "Don't drive too slowly."
