Here you may inquire about the existance (and nearest location) of Amiga-related Echoconferences. Looking for a specific file (and issuing warnings about those containing viri, trojans, and/or commercial software), compatability problems between modems and mailers, user/file validation techniques, problems and last but not least, how to keep your sanity while doing all of the above will be considered valid discussion techniques. In addition, this echo is to serve as the 'general chatter' communications device for all nodes connected to the Amiga_Software Distribution System (ADS). This echo is for SYSOP's ONLY, and is NOT to be available in any way, shape, or form to the general userbase.
