Subj:		Subscribing to the TDATA-L Discussion Group

From:		Jay Selkie

There has been a couple of recent requests for directions on how to subscribe to the TDATA-L discussion group. So I'll take advantage of those requests and copy the directions to the list as well. If you know of anybody who might be interested in joining, please forward this note to them.

Membership to this discussion group is by subscription and without cost to the subscriber. The postings to the TDATA-L discussion group are limited to its members, this is done primarily to limit SPAM from the outside world. As part of the subscription process, you will receive a welcome letter which details the rules of the TDATA-L list.

There are two ways to subscribe to TDATA-L: by e-mail or by the TDATA-L web page, which can be found at

www.home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/tdata-l.html

To subscribe by e-mail, which is recommended for employees of NCR, send a note to

listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com

Don't put anything in the Subject line. As the first line in the body of the note, put:

subscribe tdata-l

When you submit your membership, you will receive an e-mail to confirm routing to your e-mail address. When you receive this note, reply with an 'OK'. This also assures that you want to join the list and that somebody hasn't attempted to subscribe you without your permission.

This is probably a good time to remind people about a potential problem: If your e-mail provider has been having trouble delivering your mail (or you let your mail account get full) and you stop receiving postings from TDATA-L, you have probably been unsubscribed. Should this happen, please resubscribe.

What happens is that the LSoft server, which hosts the TDATA-L list, will continue to attempt to send you a posting which has not been successfully delivered. So if your e-mail provider has been having problems, you really shouldn't miss any postings. However, if the LSoft server can not successfully send you a posting after 5 days, then you are automatically deleted from the list. (Sorry, but I don't have any control over this).
