If you don't know how to use a listserver, please refer to the simple
instructions at the end of this file.

The mailing lists listed here are non-commercial (free access) and one
member volunteers to administrate a list. For more information about the

Appendix: LISTSERVERS

Some lists use listservers, programs that need instructions from the user
to receive or distribute information. The user can use the listserver by
sending e-mail with "commands" that are acceptable to the program. For
instance, to subscribe and get help from the MEXICO-L listserver, send
e-mail to listserv@tecmtyvm.bitnet, including as text of the mail these
lines:

SUB MEXICO-L <your full name>
HELP

to quit the list send e-mail to that address with this command:

SIGNOFF.

To send messages to the members, you need to send your mail to the address
served by the listserver. The "username" is given in parentheses in the
Service line (item 3). In our case, the e-mail address is:
mexico-l@tecmtyvm.bitnet

All listservers work in the same way. Read the instructions you will
receive to learn new commands and procedures. If you have problems using
this facility contact your system manager or the appropriate administrator.
