FamilyNet Conferences available by e-mail mailing list

Here is a list of the FamilyNet discussion conferences that are available by e-mail mailing list.

These conferences are distributed on the FamilyNet BBS network, using Fido technology. If you are unable to connect to a FamilyNet BBS, and you are interested in any of these conferences, you may subscribe to them as e-mail mailing lists on the Internet as follows:

Send an e-mail message to: listserv@fmlynet.planetc.com

In the subject field type "subscribe" (It doesn't matter much what you type there, but your mailer will usually ask for something there)

In the first line of the body of the message, type

connect family.conference

You don't actually type "family.conference", but replace it by the name of the conference from the list below. In other words, if you want to join the books and literature discussion conference, you type

connect family.books

Make sure you spell everything correctly! Remember that there is a full stop (period) between "family" and the actual name of the conference!

If you want to leave a conference, you send the following message to the list server (not to the list!):

disconnect family.books

An overview of all available lists follows below. There is more information about some of the conferences on separate pages, and there are clickable links to those pages if you want more information:
