My first attempt at this message went to freebsd-isp@netrail.net. Someone still on that list told me about this one, so I'm forwarding a copy of my original message to this list. For those of you still on both, I apologize for the duplication. > ----- Original message follows ----- >Date: Sat, 16 Nov 1996 17:32:31 -0600 >To: freebsd-isp@netrail.net >From: Lee Crites <adonai@jump.net> >Subject: hello, world... > >I just subscribed to the list, so I thought I'd send out a general type >intro message. > >My name is Lee Crites.
