3.0. "Other Forums Discussion Women's Issues (Usenet)" by VAXUUM::DYER (Pineapple o knife?) Mon Apr 21 1986 15:43

	    This conference is a good idea.  For those of us who can't
	get enough, though, there are two more forums available to DEC
	employees for discussion of women's issues.  Both are run from
	the Usenet, a Unix-based network of mail and articles.
	    The first is the Usenet net.women newsgroup.  To read the
	articles in net.women, one first has to "subscribe" to it.  One
	does this by sending mail to ROLL::USENET (or ASHBY::USENET)
	with the word "subscription" in the subject line, and with the
	following text:

		$ uselist add <your-node>::<your-username> net.women

	So I, for example, would send this:

		$ uselist add VAXUUM::DYER net.women

	(There are other Usenet newsgroups that you can add this way.
	If you're interested, the ROLL::USENET conference has more
	information.)
	    If you would like to post articles to the Usenet net.women
	newsgroup, you can do it with MAIL.  Just send the articles to
	this address:

		To: RHEA::DECWRL::"net.women"

	The quotes are required, and "net.women" must be in lower-case.

	    There is also a moderated women's mailing list that is
	mailed around the Usenet.  Lisa Chabot (MILES::CHABOT) redis-
	tributes mailing list articles within DEC.  To get on redistrib-
	ution list, send MAIL to Lisa.
