Marc, Nowhere does it say that peer lists have to have the same name. Your list MD49 could be linked to RELAY-L at Widget University. No problem. Entry in his RELAY-L list which says MD49@CMUCCVMA Peer Distribution and one in your MD49 list which says RELAY-L@WIDGET Peer Distribution As to the name problem, All of your users will have to know that MD49 is really RELAY-L. They can all create nicknames (in their USERID NAMES file) which assigns the nickname RELAY-L to [log in to unmask] Anyone else out there have any other ideas? Hal
