Hello, whoever may attach a meaning to the date of 9.11.1989 (or 89-11-09, or 11/9/89) is invited to subscribe to the 9NOV89-L list at DB0TUI11. Unfortunately the people living in the German Democratic Republic will not be able to participate in this discussion, because they are not (not yet?) on this network. The list name reflects the most important event in the recent German history, but it can't and shouldn't be seen isolated from what happened in Poland, the USSR, and Hungaria before (and is still going on). And yes, dear Joe Techno, all this will influence even such important things as our networks. Thomas P.S.: And no, I can't send you a piece of The Wall. It's still there, but the doors are open now. You may subscribe to the 9NOV89-L list by sending RFC822 Mail to LISTSERV@DB0TUI11 on Bitnet In the BODY (text) of your mail include the command: SUB 9NOV89-L firstname lastname eg. sub 9nov89-l Jane Doe The LISTSERV server will take your address from the "From:" address of your mail.
