Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.403
2] Because the categories in rec.music.info are ideally supposed to
transcend the separation of the individual newsgroups. I have no desire to
mirror the subdivision of the rec.music hierarchy in rec.music.info.
--- What type of material is considered inappropriate?
There are three broad categories of articles which will be rejected by the
moderator:
1] Requests for information: rec.music.info is strictly a one-way street.
You people send me information; I then post it to r.m.info. Requests for
specific information belong in the normal newsgroups. If your request gets
answered, you might consider passing the answer on to r.m.info, though.
2] Reviews: there already is a dedicated, moderated newsgroup for musical
reviews: rec.music.reviews. All reviews should go there.
3] Commercial stuff: this is a vague category. "Me and my buddies have just
released our first CD" would probably still be accepted, but "We are looking
for a guitarist" would be rejected. Rec.music.marketplace is the best place
for "things/persons wanted" and "things/persons offered" articles.
--- Will the material appearing in rec.music.info be archived somewhere?
Yes. David Datta has generously donated space on his music FTP archive site
for a rec.music.info archive.
You can reach the archive by ftp'ing to cs.uwp.edu (131.210.1.4), and
going to the directory /pub/music/info.
Effectively this means that anything you post to rec.music.info will be
permanently stored, so your work will not be lost.
--- Will rec.music.info be just another rock/pop oriented group?
I have only one answer to this: "not if I can help it". Unfortunately, that
*is* more or less happening to e.g. rec.music.reviews -- very few classical
or country or new age reviews appear there.
Regular readers from all the music groups on Usenet are hereby invited
to [a] give me ideas and feedback on how to make r.m.info interesting and
valuable to them as well (e.g. new keywords I did not think of); to [b]
scan their newsgroups for appropriate material and point the authors to
the direction of rec.music.info, and to [c] submit interesting articles
themselves.

This is a periodic posting on how to get information about the
Internet and how to get information about connecting to the (US)
National Science Foundation's NSFNET through an NSF-affiliated
regional network, or to get commercial Internet service through a
commercial service provider.
I. The NSFNET Network Service Center (NNSC) makes current documentation
on the NSFNET available via a mail server and by anonymous ftp.
Because the contents of the documents are constantly being updated,
this posting only describes how to obtain a current copy rather than
providing the data directly.
Using the mail server: Send mail to the address shown below
(nnsc.nsf.net) and leave the "Subject;" line blank.
The first line of the message body should contain a "Request:"
line, followed by a "Topic:" line, as described below. You do not
need a "Subject:" line, but be sure your mailer puts out a valid
"From:" line that the server can respond to!
To obtain current contact information on the NSFNET and its affiliated
regional networks, send the following mail message to the mail-server:
"info-server@nnsc.nsf.net":
Request: NSFNET
Topic: NNSC
To obtain information on how to connect to the Internet through the
NSFNET or an NSF-affiliated network, send the following mail message
to the mail-server "info-server@nnsc.nsf.net":
Request: NSFNET
Topic: CONNECTING
To obtain information on the documents currently available on the
NSFNET from the info-server, send the following mail message to the
mail server "info-server@nnsc.nsf.net":
Request: NSFNET
Topic: NSFNET-HELP
If you need to contact the people at the NNSC directly, you can either
send mail or call them. It would be a good idea to read the NSFNET
documents first though.
Electronic Mail: <nnsc@nnsc.nsf.net>
Telephone: +1 (617) 873-3400.
II. General Internet information documents are available from the
DDN Network Information Center (which is part of the Internet).
There are several "For Your Information (FYI)" documents
published as part of the Internet "Request For Comments (RFC)"
series of documents. These can be helpful in getting a better
understanding of the Internet and its services and organization.
Experienced, novice, and would-be Internet users can all benefit
from reading these documents.
Included among these are:
RFC-1208 Glossary of Networking Terms
RFC-1207 FYI: Answers to commonly asked "experienced Internet user" questions
RFC-1206 FYI: Answers to commonly asked "new Internet user" questions
RFC-1178 Choosing a Name for your Computer
RFC-1150 FYI on FYI: Introduction to the FYI notes
These RFCs can be obtained by anonymous ftp from nic.ddn.mil or via
email server from nisc.sri.com. To use the RFC email server, send
an email message to mail-server@nisc.sri.com with the subject line
blank and the message body indicating the RFC desired. The NIC
service will email the requested RFC back to you.
For example, to get a copy of RFC-1208 send an email message to
mail-server@nisc.sri.com with no subject line, and a message body
containing:
send rfc/RFC1208.txt
III. The Internet is composed of many networks, not just those
sponsored or affiliated with the US Government. There are also
commercial Internet service providers. Commercial firms that might
not meet requirements for connecting to a US Government-related
network can still connect to the TCP/IP Internet via commercial
service providers not affiliated with the NSFNET or the DDN
Internet:
UUNET Communications Services (UUNET)
alternet-info@uunet.uu.net
Performance Systems, Inc. (PSI)
nisc@nisc.psi.net
You should contact them directly to obtain more information about
their services. Nothing in this posting is intended or should be construed as
an endorsement of any commercial service or commercial firm.

The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
19 Oct 1992. This list does not include the gatewayed Internet
newsgroups (see below). The groups distributed worldwide are divided
into seven broad classifications: "news", "soc", "talk", "misc",
"sci", "comp" and "rec". Each of these classifications is organized
into groups and subgroups according to topic.
"comp" Topics of interest to both computer professionals and
hobbyists, including topics in computer science, software
source, and information on hardware and software systems.
"sci" Discussions marked by special and usually practical knowledge,
relating to research in or application of the established
sciences.
"misc" Groups addressing themes not easily classified under any of the
other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple
categories.
"soc" Groups primarily addressing social issues and socializing.
"talk" Groups largely debate-oriented and tending to feature long
discussions without resolution and without appreciable amounts
of generally useful information.
"news" Groups concerned with the news network and software themselves.
"rec" Groups oriented towards hobbies and recreational activities.
These "world" newsgroups are (usually) circulated around the entire
USENET -- this implies world-wide distribution. Not all groups
actually enjoy such wide distribution, however. Some sites take only
a selected subset of the more "technical" groups, and controversial
"noise" groups are often not carried by many sites (these groups are
often under the "talk" and "soc" classifications). Many sites do not
carry some or all of the comp.binaries groups.
There are groups in other subcategories, but they are local: to
institutions, to geographic regions, etc. and they are not listed
here. Note that these distribution categories can be used to restrict
the propagation of news articles. Currently, distributions include:
world worldwide distribution (default)
att limited to AT&T
can limited (mostly) to Canada
eunet limited (mostly) to European sites in EUNet
na limited (mostly) to North America
usa limited (mostly) to the United States
There may be other regional and local distribution categories available
at your site. Most US states have distribution categories named after
the two letter abbreviation for that state or category (e.g., "ga" for
Georgia, "nj" for New Jersey). Please use an appropriate distribution
category if your article is not likely to be of interest to USENET
readers worldwide. A companion article to this lists all of the
regional distributions and their newsgroups.
Some groups are moderated or are monitored mailing lists. They can
only be posted to by mailing submissions to the coordinator (provided
in a companion posting). Some selected sites provide automatic
remailing in support of B2.11 and C news -- posting to one of these
groups automatically mails the article for the poster. Some of the
moderated groups are gatewayed to USENET from the Internet and appear
as newsgroups to facilitate distribution and posting from the Usenet.
Some of these gatewayed Internet newsgroups are listed below, and the
rest appear in a companion posting that lists alternative newsgroup
hierarchies. Other of the "world" groups are bidirectionally
gatewayed with Internet mailing lists; items submitted from the
Internet side to the digest are split up and submitted to the USENET
group, while articles submitted on the USENET side are bundled up and
submitted to the mailing list. A complete list of moderated
newsgroups, submission addresses and moderators is given in a
companion posting.
The following "world" groups have been gatewayed with the listed
Internet lists. Some of them may not still be gatewayed due to
broken software and/or gateways; such groups are marked with an
asterisk ("*") in the list below. Please contact me if you should know
of their current status. Also note that the group "comp.lang.forth" is
gatewayed with the Bitnet discussion list "umforth@weizmann.bitnet", and
rec.railroad is run from "railroad@queens.bitnet".
Some of these lists are gated one-way into Usenet groups; those groups
have been marked with a ">" symbol in the list below.
If you are reading this article from a site not on the Usenet, you may
subscribe to Internet lists by writing to the request address. You
form such an address by putting "-request" before the "@" symbol, as
in "unix-emacs-request@vm.tcs.tulane.edu". This gets your message
directly to the list maintainer instead of broadcasting it to all the
readers of the list.
Also note that moderators of Usenet groups may not be in charge of the
corresponding mailing list or gateway. For example, the moderator of
comp.sources.unix does not have anything to do with the unix-sources
mailing list; matters concerning the mailing list should be addressed
to unix-sources-request@brl.mil
