ABOUT THIS LIST
=============== 
The purpose of this list is to provide information about various
on-line (electronic) resources related (sometimes weakly, I have
to admit :-) to the Eastern-European issues or run from the EE
networks.

This list does NOT contain any information on how to obtain
access to Internet/Usenet/EARN/CREN/etc.. For questions of such
a general nature please check other sources available on the
network like <news.answers>, where you can find many Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) Lists, or, for example, read some files
available via anonymous ftp from <pit-manager.mit.edu>
(18.72.1.58), stored in the directory /pub/usenet.

The amount of information about some of the resources is
sometimes minimal, but should be sufficient to get you started.
_________________________________________________________________ 

USENET NEWSGROUPS
=================
In the newsgroups listed below you can expect discussions on
culture, history and politics related to particular nations and
societies. Some of the newsgroups are also available in the form
of mailing lists (marked by -->). To read the newsgroups you
would need a program like rn (ReadNews), trn (Threaded ReadNews),
vnews... It is impossible to list all of the existing Usenet
interfaces here. You should inquire about them locally.

NOTE: Relcom server works as a mail server. Due to the traffic
volume and network limitations to obtain a response may take
a day or two. Be patient. If it does not work, try to communicate
with Relcom using European Internet nodes as relays (nodes in
Sweden or Finland are a good choice).

MAILING & DISCUSSION LISTS RUN FROM LISTSERVERS
===============================================
Listserver addresses from which the discussion lists are
distributed, can be obtained substituting <listname> by word
<listserv>, for example <poland-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu> runs from
<listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu>. Some of the mailing lists are
available in the form of Usenet news. The following list contains
only discussion lists open to the public.

Each discussion list run from a listserver has two e-mail 
addresses, each one for a different purpose. You send commands to
the ListServ address and messages to the group address.

Whenever it was possible mail addresses were given for each
ListServer in CREN/EARN/etc. domain and in the Internet domain.
If only one address is given, you are on your own - only your
LOCAL system people would be able to give you correct advice.
There are also some addresses given in brackets - these have
quasi-Internet form and may work, although no guarantee here :-(

If your machine is capable of sending and receiving Internet mail,
then to subscribe, using mail send the following command to
listserv@node.domain.etc:
    SUB List-L your_full_name
where "your_full_name" is your REAL name, and NOT your network
userID. For example: SUB List-L John Doe

If you are connected to CREN/EARN/etc. _and_ capable of using
interactive messages, you can use syntax:
   TELL LISTSERV at HOST SUB List-L your_full_name
or send mail to
   LISTSERV AT HOST
with the following command
   SUB List-L your_full_name

Other useful commands (although they may vary slightly on
different machines - use HELP first to find out):
   INDEX List-L         sends a list of the available
                        archive files
   INFO GENINTRO        retrieves "General Introduction Guide"
   REVIEW List-L        returns the network address and the
                        names of all subscribers (if public)
   SET List-L NOMAIL    temporarily cuts off the mail delivery
   SET List-L MAIL      reinstates mail delivery
   SIGNOFF List-L       unsubscribes you from the list
   LIST                 sends description of all lists
