At the current point in time, there is not anyway to contact DECUS 
electronically.  There is a project going to connect DECUServe and DCS to the 
Internet.  It is still a couple of months away from any hookups.

Until that time, I am willing to accept any messages at 
DECUS@NIELAND.DAYTON.OH.US which I will transfer to DCS (via modem) and pass 
on to the approriate parties.

(Note: Most of the BoD members do have internet addresses and have indicated 
they read INFO-VAX (though they are usually not up to date).

The society is currently discussing set up access to NEWS and newsgroups like 
comp.org.decus  to notify membership what is going on in DECUS.  The best way 
to help this out is to contact members of the Leadership and indicate that you 
think this a is a good idea.
