mconnect is like telnet 25 except you can edit the line you're typing

personally, I only use it for stuff like EXPN to find out all the real
names of people on mailing lists, for example.  (If you get something from
a commercial company on the net, and they run smtp, and they send mail to
all their customers via a mailing alias list, you can find out *all* the

cranky old Abington United Church of Christ had got themselves a
woman minister.  I liked her a lot, but apparently the church elders
can't abide a her for whatever reasons, so she's out on her fanny.
I expect they'll have a man minister again soon.

Subject:      Re: Interesting Word (Pedantic)

     While not claimingeth to be an expert, I think I will add to this
thread, even if pedantically.

     Semaphores in computing are a messaging system.  And as tushar
intimated, they are used to help prevent and resolve conflicts in
resource allocation.  In simplest form, a semaphore system consists of
a method to send and receive messages (the semaphores) and a manager.
When a process needs a resource, it sends a message to the manager.
When the resource becomes available, the manager sends a message back
to the process to go ahead and use the resource.  Once the process is
done with the resource, it sends a message back to the manager to this
effect, and the manager then checks to see who is next in line to use
the resource.

     Admittedly, this glosses over a lot of details and involves a bit
of hand waving, but it gives the overall gist.

     Those wishing a more thorough (and pedantic) explanation should
go lie down in a dark place, put a cool towel across their forehead,
and wait for this feeling to pass.
