RE  : ALS and e-mail
    :
 

Dear Friends,

This is a first attempt at creating an e-mail directory
of an ALS interest/support/discussion group. Please let me
know of others who should be added and please let me know if
you want to be deleted from this listing.

So far I have not discovered a BITNET, Internet or UseNet
discussion group for ALS. If I do not locate one during the
next few weeks I will start one myself, or better yet, I will
be able to convince someone else to start one (any volunteers?).

I did discover a computerized bulletin board system (BBS) that
has a special section for an ALS Support Group, but it appears 
to not be used much. In case any of you want to check it out, 
here is the info: The Ark BBS; 501-922-3276; 2400 baud; OPUS.
The SysOp Jim Bauguss is doing a good job but I think the 
problem is that not many people know about it. Also, it is not
BITNET/Internet/UseNet compatible.

There is another BBS called Babinski's BBS. I did not get to
learn much about it because of the fact that it is only to be
used by physicians. Those of you who are physicians may want
to give it a try. BABINSKI'S BBS; 209-636-3333; SysOp, Gregory
Chang, MD.

Many thanks to all of you for getting in touch with me. I am
looking forward to keeping in touch via e-mail until that great
day when we discover (or set up) an ALS Interest Group.

Please report discoveries to me, and to the others, as listed
above.

Sincerely, Bob Broedel
