News Groups (ListServs)
- You can join a ListServ by sending e-mail to the computer where it is administered. ListServs are groups that are interested in a specific topic. Rather than sending e-mail to other individuals, they send it to the ListServ's computer account and it is forwarded to all users. Some are very active, with members sending many messages each day to the group. Others have very little activity. Here are some that might be of interest:
