So, we are here to promote grex.
an avenue I think we should pursue is getting grex listed.
we could try to get grex listed in such places as nixpub, boardwatch
magazine.  we could even try to get mentioned in any new unix textbooks
being written.

we should especialy target the magazines. the number of magazines about
telecommunicating seems to be growing as fast as our phone bills.
 
your comments ? commendations, condemnations ? ;)

   how about Computer Shopper or BYTE? There are several BBS listings 
in CS but i'm not sure about BYTE. 

Sounds Great!   Do you have any magazines in mind eugene?  Can you get
addresses for us?

Jim, will Computer Shopper cost much to advertise in?  How about BYTE?

  That end of the question still being investigated. I will post something 
here when I know something.(heh)

I will try to find my copies of _Online Access_ and _Boardwatch_ to get
the address from them.

and once I get my new Hard drive controller, I may be able to log on
in a regular fashion again. ;)

Just a reminder--we need those addresses before we can get started...

Hey, terrific!  Great Job, power!

(If we don't get on the list we'll just have to bug him again.)

#8 should hopefuly be enough info to allow us
to get in touch with board watch magazine.

its a magazine about bulletin boards.

:)

Great info, Eugene--I'll e-mail them today!     Thanks.

HOw about USENET to get the word out about grex?

I just got the new Online Acccess magazine at Krogers.
This issue is all about bbs. including "over 3500 bbs phone numbers"
it has both arbornet and mnet listed. but not grex.
we shall have to give them a stern talkning to.

There is alt.bbs.ads where you can advertise for your bbs.

Indeed we are.  The latest version, 313BBS26.ZIP, is in my home
directory and available for downloading.

We also seem to be on the latest nixpub list.  The short listing can
be had by downloading /h1b/u/danr/nixpub92.short.  I'll try to get
the long version and upload it, too.

Hurrah!

if you send out a message ca. monthly to mi.misc you'll get some folks.
and if you send it to alt.great-lakes you'll get the attention of
people who left michigan and miss it, some of them just might call in.

Maybe we should try to get into the A2 Nooz. ;)

I'm quite sure that you could get grex mentioned in the A2 News.  Greg
Farnam did a story on the Internet (starring yrs truly :) for tech
Thursday, if you approach him or them with the local angle that here
you have a local coop running a system that is suitable for internet
mail and what not (and compare it with the various "freenet" gigs that
people have done for much more money, with usually not much better
results) I think you have a story there.

Thanks for the name, Ed.  I will try to get in touch with him.

Opppps.  Looks like M-Net beat us to it.

  They sure did! :(... Oh well...

in the way of drift, I hear Rumors of a Freenet coming to this area.

This response has been erased.

 A bbs with an internet connection, with free access for everyone and anyone.

Send mail to lovesexy@churchst.ccs.itd.umich.edu if you are interested
in hearing more about the Huron Valley FreeNet project.

(hmm... with that address, it must be some kind of free love net...)

Paul, do you have any more details?  I had heard this A2 freenet stuff
earlier but no one involved in it outside of the U.

There is a "Network Users Group Ltd." non-profit that has bought an
Msen connection, with the eye toward putting some part of the local
public access systems on the net.  Joe Stroup is the guy heading it
up, he's "josephs@msen.com".

I think we could find a lot of new people who have just bought
modems and don't know much about BBSs. I asked at the AA library
on Plymouth. They had an outdated list from two years ago. The 
main branch may have more. I found out about GREX before I checked
downtown. I just happened to go to a meeting about Internet at
Zing's and asked around after the meeting.

Although a lot of people may find out from work or other BBSs,
I think it would be a good idea to post at the libraries,
including branches. Also, an item in the Observer may be worth
the money if the charge is small enough.

Great ideas, Bill, thanks.  (Next flier party, shall we hit the libraries
first, guys?)
