[[ This article is the edited version of two separate articles which
   Dr. Parsons submitted.  -- tale, moderator news.announce.newgroups ]]

           REQUEST for DISCUSSION: sci.med.telemedicine

A new unmoderated group is proposed - sci.med.telemedicine.  It is
intended for discussion of design, hardware, software, strategies for
extended clinical consulting by hospital computer networks.  The
discussion is of special interest to medical centers seeking to apply
telemedicine to their rural consortium and to isolated physicians in
remote regions of developing countries.

The original proposal was for sci.med.hspnet.  It has been suggested
that ".hspnet" is not sufficiently descriptive and perhaps
"sci.med.telemedicine" would be better.  Other suggestions are
certainly welcome.

Discussion taking place in the 3 year old BITNET group hspnet-l@albnydh2
will be included in sci.med.telemedicine but the new group is expected
to provide a base for medical users of unix systems such as X terminals
and UUCP net works.  Attention will also be directed to the new unix
systems which are coordinating state and regional insurance and
statistical information.

Note that the possibility of creating a "bit.list" has been considered
and rejected because (a) we do not want to simply mirror the BITNET list
but hope to obtain new and different information from the newsgroup
audience, and (b) we find that not all news feeds include the bit.lists.

   The first Request for Discussion was posted on Jan 14, 1993.

   ** Please send your discussion to news.groups **

 Points under discussion are the name of the group, its unmoderated status,
 ideas about content, etc.  If warranted, the charter of the group will be 
 reformulated and followed by a Call for Votes.

    Thank you for your consideration,

"Hackers" are often subjected to circular reasoning.

E.g.:  First, we define "hacker" to mean "somebody who steals data".
Then we find an example of theft of data from a bank.  Then we conclude
that hackers are Robin Hoods.

Another example:  First, we define "hacker" to mean "somebody who
illegally breaks into systems".  Then we conclude that hackers are
criminals.

Be advised, regardless of what reference you may have consulted up to this
point, that the following applies:


 - A _hacker_ is someone who gains knowledge, and enjoyment from 'wringing
out' a system, from learning how to manipulate it at its lowest levels;
from getting it to do things that others only dream of.  He is generally
benign, sometimes benevolent.  Being called a hacker is (or rather _should_
be, no thanks to the press) a _good_ thing.

 - A _cracker_ is someone who breaks into systems where he has no business,
or authorization.  He makes unwelcome intrusions in places where others
have made it plain that he does not belong.  He steals data, he damages
peoples lives, and livelihoods, and on occasion causes untold 'collateral
damage' wholly unnecessarily.  A cracker is a malignancy that must be
removed, or at least educated out of the culture.  Being called a cracker
is a _bad_ thing.  

Those of us who know the difference should strive to be excruciatingly
correct in our usage of the terms.  We should also exercise every
opportunity to educate those that use the terms wrongly, and insist that
they use them correctly also.  There is already enough rampant confusion
about the definitions of these terms without allowing another publication
to get it wrong.  Let's go forth and educate.. even if the press is a
hopeless cause.

Mailing to two separate "account names" would post an article

I am not quite sure of the specifics even myself, but it seems that
if one puts, say a country-wide distribution in a newsgroup that is
world-wide by default, it does *NOT* guarantee that it won't go
world-wide.  This might have something to do with some systems
stripping or overriding the distribution header.  Perhaps some
knowledgeable sysadmin can shed light on this.

In saving messages onto a file, the reader asks if I want to save in mailbox format or in a regular file format.  What is the difference between the two formats?   

I know that a regular "save" will append the message at the end of the file; what does the mailbox format entail?  Are there special characters that mark the beginning of each message so that the mail reader is able to tell where to go?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And this is precisly why one should read news.groups for six months to under-
stand the process. In the case of your idea, it was discussed within the last
six months and most people pointed out that the subject matter was most
appropriate for the existing 'sci.engr.civil'. It may sound glib but the
advice of waiting for six months is actually good. By reading for this period
of time, one can understand both the explicit and the implicit mechanism for
newsgroup creation. By explicit I mena the mechanics of how to write a RFD,
how to construct a charter and how to run a vote. The implicit mechanisms are
and understanding of how the process works. You can usually see both how to 
do it right and how to do it wrong within the six months. 

As an aside, do not consider the alt network to be an adequate place for
'trial' groups. If you succeed in creating the group after a period of time
you will still have to bear with the fact the the alt group will exist even
though the mainline group has replaced it.

One way is to edit your .newsrc file.  Each group is represented on a separate
line in this file.  To unsubscribe, change the colon (":") to an exclamation
point ("!").  If you wish to unsubscribe to nearly everything, globally
change all colons to exclamation points, then manually change back for the
few groups you want to subscribe to.

Make sure your news reader is not running when you edit the .newsrc file.

It means just what it says; that the newsgroup has a moderator who
must approve postings before they appear -- hence, the newsgroup is
moderated.

Perhaps the moderator of the group in question doesn't feel that
advertisements of the sort you are trying to post are appropriate to
that group?  Or perhaps there is something wrong with the way your
news program is posting to that particular moderated group (I have
this problem with one or two groups -- the address articles get sent
to bounces)?

Followup-To: news.newusers.questions
Organization: IEI-CNR Italy

A simple question.
When you start for the first time a news-reader program (say on the Mac),
it asks for the name (or the address) of a suitable host, i.e. a
node of the usenet (?).
I have the address of an host in my city (in Italy) and I'm authorized to
use it, so all OK. I've read a lot of articles in the last months.
Nevertheless there are threads lacking on our node (example:
bionet.plants).
 Moreover I suspect
that some articles do not reach italy. My question is :
are there some hosts that are public, i.e. that are accessible to all
people,
without registrations or fees (just something like anonymous-FTP) ? 
If you know one of this please send me its address or name.
Thanks,
