* The absolute latest versions of all my Black/African related lists are always available via anonymous FTP from ftp.netcom.com in directory:
* pub/amcgee/african/my_african_related_lists
* The absolute latest versions of all my Black/African related lists are also always available by sending email to or fingering the following account:
* AfriInfo: [mcgee@epsilon.eecs.nwu.edu]
* Warning: all of the lists will come back to you as one concatenated file.
* Remember: the above address is NOT for correspondence. If you want anything other than a list sent back to you, use the email addresses in my signature.
* The absolute latest versions of all my Black/African related lists are also always available on the BDPA BAC BBS(1-707-552-3314) and on the Data Bits Online BBS(1-213-295-6094) in the following files:
* BDPABBS.MSG = BDPA BBS List (not included in AfriInfo mail file) AFRIAPC.MSG = APC Conference List (not included in AfriInfo mail file) AFRIBBS.MSG = BBS List AFRIMAIL.MSG = Internet/BITnet Mailing Lists AFRINEWS.MSG = Usenet Newsgroups AFRISITE.MSG = Online Information Sites (Dialup/FTP/Gopher/Telnet)
* Note: These naming conventions also hold true for the FTP archive.
* Note: The lists may also be available as bulletin items, so check the bulletin menu on each system for descriptive listings.
* For the network connections, this is a legend for the individual networks, which are designated in parentheses next to the network node numbers of the BBS:
* A = Afronet | B = BDPAnet | F = Fidonet | GT = GT Powernet | R = RIME
* V = Virtualnet | W = Worldnet | WL = WWIVlink | WN = WWIVnet
* For the speed in BPS, the numbers given are in hundreds.
* For those unaware, Afronet is an echomail backbone supported by African and African-American BBS Sysops across North America. The goal is to distribute conferences with African and African-American themes throughout North America. It was originally conceived of by Ken Onwere [system@afronet.san-diego.ca.us] or [cko@radphys.sdsu.edu], and implemented with the help and skill of Idette Vaughan(The BlackNet), Alex Hartley(Alex's Place), Nathaniel Saunders(Minority Affairs), and John Alston(VulcanNet).
* For more information about Afronet, please post a message to SYSOP on any of the boards listed below with an Afronet netmail address.
