LISTSERV is a special IBM account on BITNET machines that waits
for MAIL or NETDATA traffic. A common mail item/command would
be SUBSCRIBE which will add the person's mail address to a
given LIST. Presumably MBU-L and R0MILL01 are lists available
from LISTSERV@TTUVM1.bitnet and LISTSERV@ULKYVX.bitnet.
One for the file of likely places for bitnet listservs to
fit in nicely with usenet news. comp.edu.composition
has been rather inactive of late.
