   This conference is a moderated forum for discussion of various
   issues relating (primarily but not limited) to Alternative 
   Computer Networks, commonly called OtherNets.  Our focus is on
   sharing information on these networks and the technology used to
   operate networks.  It is also the primary distribution channel
   for NETSALL.ART, a list of Alternative Networks showing zones in
   use, contact points and information pack names.

   The Othernets offer users and Sysops areas of special interest that
   may not be presently covered in larger networks because of speciali-
   zation or other reasons.

   From time to time message threads (topics) may develop that are tech-
   nical in nature.  While the OtherNets Echo is not a technical forum,
   these topics may be of assistance to sysops participating in various
   Alternative Networks.

   On a weekly basis, the moderator of the echo, who also maintains a
   list of Alternative Networks, posts NETSALL.ART in the echo.  NETSALL
   is a list of Alternative Networks, as maintained based on input from
   net members.  It is a valuable tool for the sysop who is in search of
   a new or additonal network to carry.
