Organization: Australian National University, Canberra

Hi everyone,

In March 1992 I started compiling a world-wide directory of the Internet
and Bitnet e-mail addresses of individuals who are Zen students/practitioners
or Buddhist scholars and who volunteer to act as an e-mail CONTACT POINT
for their center, zendo, sangha, monastery or other Zen Buddhism practice/
training/ teaching/ research organization. 

At present I have on file over 10 e-mail addresses from Australia,
Canada, Japan, Sweden & USA. My first posting in the soc.religion.eastern
newsgroup resulted in several high quality materials, however,
I am keen to collect further data. 

The Directory is meant to be shared between the Zen and other Buddhist centers/
institutions all over the world in order to facilitate communication between 
such organizations in all countries of Asia, Europe, N. America, S. America
and Oceania. 

With the view of preserving the Contact Persons' privacy, valuable time as
well protecting their currently unhindered access to the e-mail facilities
- anyone using this Directory is requested to note that:
a) This document should not be used outside of it's Buddhist organizational
context; b) The list should be used judiciously and only for exchanges about
matters of importance to the contact points in their capacity as Zen students/
scholars. 

The project should be completed by 15 June 1992. All contributors to this
project will receive by e-mail the final version of the directory. 

INTERESTED PERSONS ARE INVITED to send their e-mail addresses together
with brief details of their Zen organizational affiliations as well as any
querries, additions and corrections to: 

tmciolek@coombs.anu.edu.au

With gassho -

Dr T. Matthew Ciolek,
Sydney Zen Center & Canberra Zen Group;

Organization: AT&T


I have a couple of questions about "Korean" computers.

1. Do the Korean computers in Korea have special hardware or BIOS
that supports Hangul?  What does the special hardware or BIOS do?
Can I modify my PC/XT/AT compatible by changing out the BIOS?  Do
I need a special version of MS-DOS to use this new hardware/BIOS?
Are there different standards such as SamSung and others?  Where
can I get info on this?

2. Are there versions of Turbo-C/PASCAL, dBase IV, Clipper and any
other languages that support Hangul?  Where can I buy them?  Is there
a catalog available in the U.S.?  Do these compilers/programs require
the special Korean hardware/BIOS?

3. Do most businesses in Korea use software that display Hangul, or
do they use the same programs we use in the U.S.?

Is there a FAQ (frequently asked question) archive about this?

Thanks for your help.

BTW I'm talking Last names (Well, first names if you think in Korean!)

I've been told that the HAN last name is originally from one family and as

Yes, there are really available public 'telnet' accounts in Seoul KAIST,
and also some in SERI. But if you really want to get an account, though
there are no policy for public access, you can ask it to jksong@cosmos

This is my understanding of the meaing of the word KEH as explained to
me by my parents.

	Basically it is getting a group of friends together. One family or
person will host the KEH party and the guests will come with a certain
amount of money. All the money that the guests bring will be given to
the host. The penalty for the host throwing the keh party is that he/she
has to contribute more than the others in subsequent keh parties. 

	This, I believe, is a fairly simplified view of KEH. So if anyone wants
to provide more detail, please do.

Just to avoid unnecessary confusions;

In spite of his claim that 'Horne' is (was it "could be" ?) a Korean 
last name and in spite of his knowledge and concern about East Asian 
language, culture, politics and history, Scott Horne is not an ethnic Asian.

Someone catching passwords?
 
Usually I log on from Seoul to a Host in San Francisco as in the dialog
given under (2). Recently I had a dialog as in (1).
 
I observed a change the DACOM dial up PADs in Seoul regarding to their
response on a host's request not to echo the guest's input. This usually
indicates a request for password input.
 
Since begin of 1992 I got password echoes when accessing EcoNet of IGC
(Institute for Global Communication), CompuServe's no-echo requests are
executed however.
 
So now I myself force the echo off (PAR 2:0) for logons to IGC. But sometimes
the PAD just locks up. Today I even got the following garbage. Any ideas?

Subject: Re: Cha Mak - closed caption decoder
Organization: Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1992 00:16:47 GMT

About "CC" (closed caption) devices.  I have one of those, and this is what
I found out.

You can look at the TV guide to find out which ones feature "cc".  The ones
with cc sign with headphone symbol over it are the ones with closed
caption.  Practically ALL video taped movies come with it and most TV
programs have it.  Live broadcasting has delayed version of it, with a
misspelling here and there.

"CC" is digital transmission, it seems.  When the reception is not good,
you see gargabe on the screen instead of poor quality letters.

Many conversations are abbreviated in order to fit on that small space.
For example, "I do not give a damn!" can be shown as "I do not care" and so
on.

I do not think it is useful for English learning because if someone has
trouble understanding the conversation, they will have more trouble reading
those sentences flashing by.  The only way this can be effective is by
recordig it and seeing it many times over.  Normal video tape recording
also records "CC" information, I found out.  Or you can put the "CC" device
between the VCR and antenna to record the caption permanently displaced on
the screen, so that those who do not own a "CC" can enjoy it as well.

About the saleman who advertised as a language learning tool.  Well, they
are trying to sell this to those who do not want to put effort, but still
want to learn the language.  There are plenty of those.  So, this kind of
magical solution is very appealing to the ignorant mass.  Imagine, you can
watch TV and still learn English!  In my opinion, there is no substitute
for looking up the words in dictionary, making friends with the natives,
and forcing oneself to write in the target language, and most importantly,
trying to think in the target language.  But, that is not the issue here.

Going back to the salesman.  I think I would not have mentioned what it was
originally intended for, because it will dilute the impact of this device.
Since it is not a lie, I might as well make the sentence in such way that
it is a cool language learning tool.  And I might add a few pictures of
smiling people (from a diverse spectrum to appeal to everyone) claiming all
kind of results.

Going back to the "cc" thing.  It is great when you cannot understand some
thick accent of some of the actors.  Unfortunately, most british programs
do not have this (such as the mystery series, or comedies).  It is also
great when you do not want to wake up your family.  It beats headphone when
the surrounding is very noisy, such as your brothers fighting on your side.
:)

Korean videos or Japanese vidoes do not have such coding, it seems.  Even
if it did, I am sure it won't work with what I have.  It is something I
like about the standards...  there are so many to choose from....  :(

All in all, it is not worth $200 or so that I paid for.  I got suckered...
But what else is new?

He had several things to say:

1) During the Korean War  MacArthur wanted to bomb major Chinese cities
and also wanted to drop long lasting dirty Cobalt fallout producing bombs
across the Yalu river in Manchuria in a necklace pattern of 60 to block off
the Korean Penninsula.  I am glad that Trumen pull him out in time.

2) Appraently the US in dealing with the military threat from the North
advocates the first use of nuclear weapons unlike the situation that 
 existed in Northern Europe.  This seems to me very nearsighted and 
smacks of reckless use of firepower in situations which do not lead to
widespread political protest in the US.  There have been too many situations
in the past where western powers use massive force to achieve dubious goals
with terrible repercussions for the people in those lands.  Cummings 
states that the forward position of the Northern troops is a response to
this military stratedgy of the US.


3) US is afraid of the North having a bomb not because of Kim Il Sung
but because of possible impetus to Japan to develop a bomb.  


I would like to see the Korean Penninsula nuclear free, but when Korea
is unified do we also need a Samson option (reference to Israel having
200 or so nuclear warheads)?

The time gap between US and Korea is owing to USENET NNTP configuration
i think. Too many articles are received by kum.kaist.ac.kr from US, and
it consumes more than 10 days to UP-TO-DATE articles. But due to lack of
posting activity in KAIST (I dunno why), the articles posted in korea
are delivered very fast to US.

Maybe, the computer center in Daejeon KAIST will buy another news server.
Then the news will be delivered faster. I think the relay configurations
should be changed soon.
