ListServers The following listservers, dedicated to discussion about entomology, are currently available. BEE-L This list provides a format for discussion of bee research and biology. Subjects include sociobiology, behavior, ecology, genetics, taxonomy, physiology, pollination, and many others. The contact person for the list is Mary Jo Orzech (mjo@brock1p.bitnet). To subscribe, send an e-mail message to LISTSERV@UACSC2.ALBANY.EDU with body text consisting of subscribe Jane Doe where Jane Doe is your real name. You will receive further instructions from the listserver. BIOCONTROL-L A list on biological control is running from a listserver in Brazil. The owner of the list is Sidnei de Souza (sidnei@ftpt.br) or Dr. Luiz Alexandre Nogueira de Sa'. Though the presentation message is in portuguese, the list accepts messages written in English or Spanish. To subscribe, send an email message to listserv@ftpt.br with a blank subject line and body text consisting of subscribe BIOCONTROL-L Jane Doe where Jane Doe is your real name. BugNet has been formed to meet the need for a "non-professional" entomology mailing list, i.e. to serve as a resource for teachers and bug enthusiasts to ask questions to professional entomologists. To subscribe, send an email message to listserv@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu with a blank subject line and body text consisting of subscribe bugnet John Doe where John Doe is your real name. Entomo-L is maintained by Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph, Canada. Discussion is on a variety of entomology-related topics. Persons wishing to join the list should send e-mail to LISTSERV@UOGUELPH.CA with a blank subject line and body text consisting of subscribe entomo-L Jane Doe where Jane Doe is the real name of the subscriber. You will get an automated welcome message from the server shortly thereafter. There is no charge associated with this listserver. ENT-LIST is maintained by Mark O'Brien of the University of Michigan. Discussion on this list is about insect systematics and curatorial matters. Those interested in joining ENT-LIST should send e-mail directly to MFOBRIEN@UMICH.EDU. GYPSY MOTH discussion group is available for discussion of topics pertaining to this well-known pest. Click here to find out how to subscribe. PESTCON, a listserv to discuss IPM (Integrated Pest Management). The list is owned by Dave Jackson at the University of Iowa. To subscribe to PESTCON, send e-mail to LISTSERV@UIOWA.EDU, with a blank subject line and body text consisting of two lines of text. The first line should be subscribe PESTCON Jane Doe where Jane Doe is the real name of the subscriber. The second line should simply be the word QUIT. Dial-In Resources MosquitoNet is a dial-in bulletin board system maintained by Bruce Eldridge and his laboratory at UC-Davis. The number to call with your modem is 916-752-5484. There are no charges for opening an account. The first time you dial, MosquitoNet will take information and then drop you off the line. Your accounts will be activated usually within 24 hours, though it may be longer since this requires human interaction. Any standard communication program will do, though with RipTerm you can use a mouse and full pulldown menus, etc. RipTerm is free and you can get copies from a number of sources, including us. Be sure to use version 1.54 or later (for PC's). They do have plans to connect to the Internet but don't know when that will happen.
