The KRNET list is an email list devoted to exchanging information about the KR. To subscribe (it's free!), send a message to majordomo@teleport.com with the message "subscribe krnet-l yourname@xyz.com" in the text body (no quotes). That's KRNET-L, not KRNET-1, but lower case. To send messages to the list, send email to krnet-l@teleport.com. You must be a member to post messages to the list, and it usually takes a few days for the adminstrator to add you, so be patient. Past KRNET KR list transcripts are available, maintained by Carlos Sa.
