- 2.1.1 What other mailing lists of interest are there?
-
- There are lots of other mailing lists that may be be of interest
- to SCA people. Here is a listing of some of them. To subscribe,
- send mail to LISTSERV@<host address>, where <host address> is the
- part of the address for the list you're interested in that comes
- after the @ sign. The mail should have nothing in the subject line,
- and the body of the message should consist of nothing more than
- SUB <listname> <yourname>
- where <listname> is the name of the mailing list you are subscribing
- to (the part *before* the @ sign) and <yourname> is your name. Many
- of these lists are places where modern-world scholars communicate,
- and therefore are not places where persona is appropriate -- use
- your modern name.

- 2.2 Are there archives of SCA information that I can access?
-
- Yes. There are several sites that contain various files of SCA
- information, including this file, Corpora, the Heraldic Rules for
- Submission, the Online Armorial, several kingdom's laws, rules for
- combat, and so on. Each site has a different collection of
- material, so you may need to investigate more than one to find what
- you need. Contact your local system administrator to learn how to
- use anonymous FTP to retrieve these files. Those without FTP access
- should send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with "send
- usenet/news.answers/finding-sources" in the body to find out how to
- do FTP by e-mail.

- ftp.nau.edu [134.114.64.24] directory /sca
- maintained by wew@naucse.cse.nau.edu (Bill Wilson)

-
- 2.3 Does anyone have a contact in ...
-
- The best way to find a contact in a particular area or group is
- to look in the Rolls Ethereal.
-
- 2.4 What are the Rolls Ethereal?
-
- The Rolls Ethereal list people on the Rialto, at least name and
- electronic address, and often interests, location, and awards. The
- Rolls are maintained by Justin du Coeur (justin@inmet.camb.inmet.com)
- and are distributed at intervals of anywhere from 6 to 12 months. They
- are available for anonymous FTP access at bransle.ucs.mun.ca.
-
- 2.5 What's this alt.sca I found?
-
- The first SCA newsgroup was named alt.sca. When the traffic grew
- to a respectable size, we moved to rec.org.sca because the rec
- hierarchy gets better distribution. alt.sca is currently defunct, but
- still carried at some sites. We recommend that users of alt.sca move
- over to rec.org.sca, and ask their system administrator to remove
- alt.sca from their system, to avoid future confusion.
-
- 2.6 Where can I get songs and lyrics?
-
- There are a number of sites that archive song sources. Many of
- these are dial-up sites, requiring the use of a modem. Please do
- not ask for technical help with this on the Rialto -- there are sure
- to be better sources of this information close to you.
