To those of you who are interested in caving ("spelunking"), consider joining CAVENET! CaveNet is a loose aggregation of Fido, GT_Power, RIME and QWK boards. I am gating the mail into/out of Fido-tech boards, and we have others that gate the mail into the others. It is FREE, but you will have to poll me (Bruce Bowman, 1:231/710) on a regular basis to pick up your mail and send outgoing mail into CaveNet. Below are the echo tags -- descriptions of each are present in the current FidoNet Echolist. Several of these conferences are also gated into InterNet mailing lists... CN_ADMIN CN_GENERAL CN_NSS CN_SURVEY CN_DIVING CN_TAG CN_MVOR CN_VAR CN_OVR CN_CONSERV CN_VERTICAL CN_BATLINE All sysops carrying any CaveNet conferences are required to carry the ADMIN conference as well. Although we were initially concerned about whether CaveNet would popularize caving and cause increased caver traffic, in practice we had little to worry about. Now, we hope to see CaveNet grow and develop. Traffic is a little slow right now since everyone is out caving! The more boards that join us, the more entertaining things will become.
