I would like to compile a list of any server that offers listserv
 
facilities either Bitnet-like or "elsenet-like".
My purpose is to form a list of this kind:
 
(sample entry:)
 
  HOST NAME:          Hudson Bay Submarine University
  HOST ADDRESS:       Hudson.Bay.Edu
  REFERENCE:          Mike Penguin   [log in to unmask]
  LIST SET-UP PROCEDURE:  Only students and teachers at Hudson are
                          allowed to set up a list. Currently only
                          27 lists are served by Hudson host. Any
                          application to start a new list must be
                          submitted to M.Penguin. Topics must be
                          related to submarine life and studies.
 SOFTWARE:            Server program written by Frank Whale.
 
(other sample:)
 
  HOST NAME:          Altmark Communication Inc., Pogola, NU
  HOST ADDRESS:       altmark.com
  REFERENCE:          [log in to unmask]
  LIST SET-UP PROCEDURE: Altmark offers all kind of Internet
          facilities and services. Subscription
                         is 4$ per month for personal accounts.
                         additional 10$ per months are required
                         to start a mailing list. Topics are
          free, although Altmark may refuse to
                         host lists that are offensive or constitu-
                         te a blatant violation of laws (no lists
                         about drug-dealing, smuggling, tax-fraud,
                insider-trading, etc., etc.)
SOFTWARE:             Server program is proprietory and is called
                      Kokkodrillo.
 
Such two samples, are, of course, pure fantasy. I strongly believe that a
public knowledge of sites and hosts where mailing lists can
be started will improve freedom in cyberspace.
 
 
Any help and suggestion is wellcome ! Please, if such a list of
listserv-facilities already exist do not hesitate to tell me. I do not want
to rediscover the wheel.....
