This is my attempt to combine the best of a few Fido Echos. Those who feel their Magickal systems can not be easily discussed without dipping into there Religion or even the Sacred Mythos of the Faith can hopefully find a home here, and thus not annoy the Moderators of the "Magick" and "Mythology" echos to no end. ;) All faiths are welcome and will be discussed CENTERING around their Magickal/Mystical aspects. No "preaching", "conversion tactics", or "attempts to save our souls" will be tolerated. These will be viewed as flames, and as off-topic, and treated accordingly.

The Callsign Server was originally seen in the Backboned echo AMATEUR_RADIO, but there was sufficient demand for this echo to be placed on the Backbone. The method of using the CALLSIGN echo is simple. A message is sent from a user to "Callsign Server", with the subject being "", in which case, if there is a match, the Server will produce the name, address, and type of class license that the operator possesses. At this time, the server will ignore all requests for name or ZIP-code searches. No other discussions will be allowed on the echo, except for questions on how to correctly operate the Callsign Server (which will be posted as a FAQ file, along with the rules of the echo). All callers are welcome, but please limit your requests to no more than two a week.

CP/M-80 is the most famous of the family, defining the Intel 8080 and Zilog Z-80 microcomputing standard of the late 1970s and into the early 1980s. Although overtaken on the desktop by MS-DOS and 16-bit operating systems, CP/M survives today both on new systems and on older machines. Many of the great names in the history of the microcomputer are associated with CP/M, including Altair, IMSAI, Processor Technology, NorthStar, Morrow Designs, Cromemco, Kaypro, Osborne, and too many others to list. Although no longer supported by Digital Research (now a part of Novell), CP/M is an active area of work for many programmers who continue to refine it, adapt it, and port it to additional platforms. CP/M originated many of fundamental concepts of microcomputer operating system architecture, such as the BIOS, and much of the early MS-DOS 1.x was directly inspired by or ported from CP/M. This echo serves as a focal point for those working with CP/M and its variants, including systems programmers, application programmers, and users looking for information.

HOLY_BIBLE and "Wholly_Bible" are (C)(sm)(tm)1991-1996 Steve Winter with all rights reserved worldwide. A FidoNet Backbone echo since 1991 Exploring the Christian Holy Bible (serious Bible study only). With so many "religions" and "three god cults" blatantly teaching opposing doctrines while "claiming" to be representing "The Bible", many are wisely deciding to look for themselves. No profanity, lewdness, etc will be tolerated. Deliberate off-topic messages and rule violations will not be tolerated. This echo exists to promote and discuss true original Apostolic Biblical Christianity . This is an internationally distributed Bible echo. Doctrines will face "the Bible test" in an open forum. This should not be confused with the pseudo christian, three god cult echos or any other cults or "denominations" of the RCC. This echo is extremely strict because of the cost of international distribution. All points MUST be documented by scripture! This is NOT a "chat" or "fellowship" conference!. This really is the only true Christian Echo on the Fidonet Backbone. If you are interested in what the Bible really teaches, check out HOLY_BIBLE (the Wholly Bible echo) for yourself and see what the false christians are hissing and roaring about. Beware of sleazy imitations and thieves that stole their echoname from this echo's description. This echo also is gated to/from the PRIME Network (PreRapture TM).

This echo is devoted to the ability to respond to the statements made to you and about you in the Holy Bible echo that you are denied permission to reply to there. This is not a bash or flame echo, but an echo devoted to allowing you to continue your discussion of the Bible and religion that you started in the Holy Bible echo and to debate the "teachings" in that echo.

There are NO fees! It is specifically oriented to curricular/classroom use for introducing Kindergarten thru 12th grade students, teachers and administrators to the "global village" of telecommuni- cations. K12net is a public "network with training wheels" and should not be thought of as a "hobby" network--this is "school".

The goal of the Militia Conference is to enhance the ability of the average Citizen to understand their duties and responsibilities as it relates to the Milita and the protection of the Constitution of the United States and to bypass the mass media bias against Militia's. We don't have radio and TV broadcast facilities, so we are using the phone company's "narrowcast" capability. We welcome your input and encourage you to use these resources. Militia's are not what the media decides they are, but rather a diverse group of reputable citizens with a common cause of protecting our Constitutional Rights and our country's heritage! Description of Militia's from United States Code (USC), TITLE 10--ARMED FORCES, Section 311. Militia: composition and classes: (a) THE MILITIA OF THE UNITED STATES CONSISTS OF ALL ABLE-BODIED MALES AT LEAST 17 YEARS OF AGE and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are commissioned officers of the National Guard.

ANNs are models of cognitive computation based upon and inspired by biological nervous systems, using many low level processors with massive interconnection in order to accomplish significant function in adaptive signal processing, pattern recognition, expert systems, process control, DNA sequence recognition, and many other applications. Cognitive and behavioral scientists are able to model many phenomena through even the simple ANN models available now. This Echo serves to support those interested in this multi-disciplinary field to locate resources, discuss problems, and exchange code related to ANNs. Significant news items from the Usenet comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroup, Neuron Digest listings, calls for papers, meeting announcements, and other news from the outside world get posted in NEURAL_NET. Discussion of the implications of ANN technology coexists with discussions of applications.

SACRED_MAGICK is for the discussion of Magickal Practices, and the Sacred Mythologies and Spiritualities that are incorperated by them. This is my attempt to combine the best of a few Fido Echos; Those who feel their Magickal systems can not be easily discussed without dipping into their Religion or even the Sacred Mythos of the Faith can hopefully find a home here, and thus not annoy the Moderators of the "Magick" and "Mythology" echos to no end. ;) We are looking for discussion of Magick from a more "Religio-Mystical" perspective rather than a technical one. All faiths are welcome and will be discussed CENTERING around their Magickal/Mystical aspects. No "preaching", "conversion tactics", or "attempts to save our souls" will be tolerated. These will be viewed as flames, and as off-topic, and treated accordingly.

A lot of people may think that The Simpsons is just a cartoon, therefore, is not a "real" show. However, many people find The Simpsons to be one of the best shows on TV; it is funnier than many sitcoms, and has a lot of subtle humor. There are even "special guest voices", such as Johnny Carson, Kelsey Grammer, and Luke Perry. You're not picking up this echo!?!? DOHHH! (oooh, Doughnuts!)

Like other hobbies the more you know the better off you are. Being a smart TVRO consumer means avoiding bad hardware purchases and poor TV services! Is it just dish talk? Not really. Satellite TV is very related to cable television (CATV) and direct broadcast satellite (DBS/DSS). Therefore, along with conversations involving dish hardware and software, you will find discussions on how the cable industry and the evolving direct broadcast satellite industry are affecting what we dish owners see and buy. The issue of scrambling and video piracy is a topic covered by the TVRO Echo but NO posting of pirate decoder codes are allowed !! This is the place to receive an education about TVRO.
