I can already see it... each senator/representative gets, say, a node
or two on congress.gov. Then we can email them directly, or to the
congressional server for document requests, polls, etc.

But, I have a bad feeling that just like 'franking', the policy of sending
free mail to ones' constituents, 'email franking' will be abused till
hell freezes over. 

It takes little effort for whoever is running the show to send email to
all addresses in, say, a state; Then, once everyone figures it out,
kiloMUTLU's (the kiloMUTLU is my personal unit of USENET volume)
of 'vote for me' messages will choke the net... Guaranteed.

Another electronic magazine available (and a lot better than most commercial

games. It has excellent screenshots, and an astonishing number of reviews.
Unfortunately for all those Unixy types crawling the net, it must be run
on a PC.
	GameBytes is available at the following ftp sites:

	ftp.ulowell.edu         (129.63.32.1)   /msdos/Games/GameByte
	wuarchive.wustl.edu     (128.252.135.4) /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS


You can also get it mailed to you: the address is:
   GameBytes <tony@gpx3.engr.mun.ca>
And you use one of the following Subject lines:
	Subject: GB subscribe graphic
	Subject: GB subscribe text
depending on wether you want the text-only version, or the screenshots as

would that our representative were so aware of modern technology. clinton and
gore both have email addresses from their campaigns, and gore will, as 
sponsor of the NREN, surely have some sort of link set up. However, even 
Charlie Rose, the sponsor of the GPO WINDO Act, does not have accounts for
himself and his staffers. maybe when the amount of free mailing the reps
can use is limited a little, they will look to more efficient means of
communication.

There is a handy little book entitled "The U.S. Congress Handbook." All the
information that you require plus much more is included. Included are mailing
addresses,fax numbers,short bios.,committee assignments,staff members,and phone
numbers. Best thing is that I got mine FREE from my congressperson. A new one
covering the 103rd Congress should be available in January. So try requesting
one from your Congressional representative. Otherwise order from U.S. Congress
Handbook P.O. Box 566, McLean, Virginia 22101/Phone 703-356-3572 Fax
703-760-0942. $7.95 a copy.

  I have been able to get on the Cleveland Freenet from a gopher
server without being asked for my University of Michigan account.
It involved going through a series of menus to get from the U-M
gopher ("um-gopherblue"--I forgot the telnet number) to the 
Michigan State University gopher. The MSU gopher allowed me to
telnet to the Cleveland Freenet. (I'll get the telnet number and
the menus I went through in a message to be posted November 22
or 23.) So getting on a freenet without being asked for some
university or company account depends on what access you have to
a "gopher server"--all the gophers are pretty much interconnec-
ted, so anyone can get to the MSU or U-M gopher with the right
sequence of menus.          -Mark Rabinowitz

Okay, I give up. What is FSP? Given the response

Glad to hear of someone else using IRC as a medium for telecomputing in
education.  I have been doing so for the last two years - I have been remotely
teaching students using IRC as a means of communication.

Just this year I decided to implement a program called XTV.  XTV allows 
users to share windows and other Unix based tools/programs.  IRC allows
the real-time communication I need (interaction) and XTV allows for the
multi-collaborative graphics (much like a chalkboard) which allows all
users to see the same material and edit it.

I am now working on real-time voice transmission.  Once that happens, I
will not have a need for IRC.

Cheers!

hey whoa! it's not like the government is giving free access to
the companies! Big companies have to shell out some big bucks
for net access. So it's then less of a burden on tax payers.
(And if things ever get way out of hand, (like an excessively
popular ftp site) whoever is in charge can always restrict
access until they get a chance to improve the system.)

Also some commercial organizations have pretty big R&D departments
so keeping in touch with other government and academic organizations
makes sense.

The Internet is becoming more and more mainstream. Public
access systems are appearing and commercial systems like
CompuServe are getting net connections. It's no longer the
toy of the researchers. Frivolous? perhaps, but it seems
that certain people are willing to shell out bucks to pay
for their frivolous habits and help support the costs of
maintaining a bit of the net.

Probably the best way to do this is to find out your friend's Fidonet address.  It will be in the form z:n/f, example 1:260/265. This can be converted to an
Internet address of firstname.lastname@f.n.z.fidonet.org, or in my case
david.szlucha@f265.n260.z1.fidonet.org, in return your friend will have to know
of a Fidonet system that can gate the message to Internet. He will have to    
address the return note to UUCP, (Fidonet node number of the gateway), then on
the first line of text he must enter To: (your internet address). If he is in   the mid-atlantic area his default Fidonet gateway will be 1:260/222. These node numbers will be changing very soon as we are forming a new sub-net in Rochester,NY.

I think that maybe Mark is asking a different question here.  If he isn't,
I want to ask the one I think he is asking. :-)

Is there a way to telnet to a computer in a different part of the
country without first getting on to a computer.  For example, I want
my dad to be able to send me mail via Internet, however, he doesn't have
an account anywhere.  I can get him one on the Cleveland Free Net, but
is there a way for him to access the account from Chicago short of 
dialing it directly long-distance and incurring LD charges?

I know something about what Mark is talking about.  I used to go to
Michigan State and you could do something similar to that with the
"merit" system.  That is some sort of network connecting all Michigan
.edu computers.  I never actually tried it, though, because I already
had access.  Anyways, is there a way to do that?
