I've set up a list, info-as400@joiner.com, for discussing AS/400 and related issues. I'm sending this note only to you, to test the list. Please send a note to info-as400-request@joiner.com (that's me) to "request to be added to the list". I'll add you then, and send you a confirmation. If you can, repeat the above process from an account with only an Internet address (not BITNET). When you get both confirmations, send a test message to the list. I'm the only other person on the list right now. When your test posting is received at both accounts, send a confirmation to me (arnold@joiner.com). If you have any verbage you'd like to see in the list announcement, send that along at the same time. When we're both happy with the way things work, I'll send a new list announcement to NEW-LIST and IBM-NETS. On more thing: I pick the list names (info-as400 and info-as400-request) to conform to the Internet style. If you have a name you like better, let's discuss it. Info-as400 is implemented as a PMDF distribution list. All list changes will be manual. There are no public archives yet, but I'll keep private archive in case a demand develops and I figure out how to do it. BITNET users will not be able to subscribe by interactive commands. Looking forward to hearing from you! Steve
