You can get the answer by sending a command like 'help' or 'lists' to
the listserv address.  Here's what I got when I sent the 'lists' command
to [log in to unmask]:

That's the "listserver" that has changed its name to "listprocessor"
in a later version, thank goodness.  I'm running a list with it and
was very happy to see its name change since the name "listserv" led
people to send erroneous commands to it quite often.  Some still will,
of course, but the name change may help a little.
 
In case you're interested, the program works fairly well but is far, far
inferior to Eric's LISTSERV.
