Request to be added to the mailing list should be sent to 
"sysadm-request@sysadmin.com" or "...uunet!sysadmin!sysadm-request"
Please include the mailing address it should be sent to (internet
style address prefered) and if you are on internet, please state so.

Let's see how the mailing list works out.  So far I have received over
400 requests, but only a few submissions.  If you has send a request, 
but not yet got a reply, please be patient.  The eathquake has created
some backup of the processing (Our office in San Jose is fine, but I'm
in the process of moving out of my house at the Summit in Santa Cruz
mountain).
