REVIEW OF BITNET/INTERNET LISTS FOR NORTHEAST ASIA
updated 2/20/95
David Bedell, University of Bridgeport (bedell@cse.bridgeport.edu)
The following e-mail lists are useful resources for students and others
who want to keep in touch with people from Northeast Asia. By subscribing
to an electronic list, you can receive news or discuss issues of
importance to your country, learn about another culture, practice a
language, or just chat with friends. If you have an account on a
university computer system, or if you subscribe to a network service such
as CompuServe or Fidonet, then you should have access to these lists.
Most of these lists are served by an automatic listserver. To subscribe,
send e-mail to LISTSERV at the indicated node (e.g., LISTSERV@UICVM for
the list H-ASIA) with a message consisting of one line:
SUBSCRIBE
e.g.: subscribe h-asia David Bedell
Single-word node names such as UICVM are Bitnet nodes. If you are not on
Bitnet yourself, you will have to add the suffix .BITNET to the node name
(e.g., mail to LISTSERV@UICVM.BITNET). Some of the lists require an
address other than LISTSERV; these are indicated.
This document is part of a longer document about e-mail lists for language
learning and regional studies. To get the current version of that
document, send mail to LISTSERV@UBVM with the message GET FLTEACH FLLISTS
or to LISTSERV@CUNYVM with the message GET LIST OFLISTS1. It is also
accessible by WWW at http://ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu. The present document (on
Northeast Asia only) is available at http://pears.lib.ohio-state.edu.
