This article is from the Fractal FAQ, by Ermel Stepp stepp@muvms6.mu.wvnet.edu with numerous contributions by others.
There is a fractal discussion on BITNET that uses an automated mail
server that sends mail to a distribution list. (On some systems, the contents
of FRAC-L appear in the Usenet newsgroup bit.listserv.frac-l.) To join the
mailing list, send a message to listserv@gitvm1.gatech.edu or
listserv@GITVM1 with the following line of text:
SUBSCRIBE FRAC-L John Doe
(where John Doe is replaced by your name)
To unsubscribe, send the message:
UNSUBSCRIBE FRAC-L or SIGNOFF FRAC-L (GLOBAL)
Messages posted to frac-l are archived along with several files. The index
of the archive may be obtained by sending email to:
listserv@GITVM1.BITNET or listserv@GITVM1.GATECH.EDU
with the sole line of text in the body: INDEX FRAC-L
Files identified in the index (filelist) may then be retrieved by sending
another message to the listserv with the line of text: GET filename
(where filename is replaced by the exact name of a file given in the index).
If there is any difficulty contact the listowner: Ermel Stepp
(stepp@marshall.edu.
