The Callsign Server was originally seen in the Backboned echo AMATEUR_RADIO, but there was sufficient demand for this echo to be placed on the Backbone. The method of using the CALLSIGN echo is simple. A message is sent from a user to "Callsign Server", with the subject being "", in which case, if there is a match, the Server will produce the name, address, and type of class license that the operator possesses. At this time, the server will ignore all requests for name or ZIP-code searches. No other discussions will be allowed on the echo, except for questions on how to correctly operate the Callsign Server (which will be posted as a FAQ file, along with the rules of the echo). All callers are welcome, but please limit your requests to no more than two a week.

The Echo is here to talk about comics as a HOBBY and source of enjoyment, and the get-rich-quick investment mentality is discouraged. Adaptations in other media, other works by famous creators, and issues such as creator rights are discussed as well. Comic book professionals also stop in from time to time to discuss the industry and field questions from participants.

This echo is for the discussion and sharing information on conferences ("echos") in Zone 1 of FidoNet. This is not limited to echos seeking FidoNet Zone 1 "BackBone" status, but for anybody that wants to "advertise" their privately-distributed echo, as well as for increasing the readership of already- established BackBone echos. Advertising of echos should not be placed in ECHO_REQ more than once a week. It is also suggested that this echo be "read-only" to people other than moderators or SysOps. But, reasonable questions about echos are "on-topic". The discussion of the operation of the BackBone(s), or Planet Connect, however, is OFF-TOPIC here, and should be taken to the Z1_BACKBONE echo, or a more appropriate administrative echo.

Patterned after a campus Canterbury Club with a Sunday evening dinner tradition. Participants could be quasi-erudite, might show a respectful sense of humor, and demonstrate the humility of being less than 98% omniscient. The echo is open to all people, regardless of their religion, or the number of times they have been born. For those for whom reason and traditions often count as much as faith alone: "There's a difference between being baptised and brainwashed". A post-sophomoric Canterbury Club for all ages. Mostly for a US mainstream and traditional core of demographics and theology as spawned the US Declaration of Independence, and other such revolutionary things..

The Geoworks conference is meant for discussion of the GEOS operating system, as well as devices that use GEOS. Discussion will primarily concern GEOS as it runs on the PC or compatable computers. This does not rule out discussion of GEOS on Commodore or Apple platforms, but it is secondary to GEOS on the PC. Since New Deal, Inc. has distribution rights for the desktop version, and has renamed the software, discussion of GEOS as NDOS (New Deal Operating System) is on topic. As a corollary, since GEOS/NDOS uses an underlying operating system such as DOS or OS/2 for file system access, and for the initial boot and launching, discussion of other operating systems will be on topic only as much as is needed to support GEOS.
