FINDING THE LM_NET ARCHIVES AND RELATED INFORMATION

             This is an update of previously posted
     instructions for locating the LM_NET Archives. (8-95)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

THE LM_NET ARCHIVES, ETC. ARE AVAILABLE BY WEB AND GOPHER

   The LM_NET Archives and other interesting related information is
   available at the AskERIC Woirld Wide Web and Gopher site.

   The URL for the "Webbed" Gopher site is:
       gopher://ericir.syr.edu:70/11/Listservs/LM_NET

   Another way to find it is to use your telnet to go directly there,
   and then, by going through a series of menus, you will reach the
   LM_NET Archives.  (Of course, you can Gopher there as well, port 70.)

   For example: Telnet to the AskERIC Gopher:

   1. Telnet to> ericir.syr.edu
   2. At the login prompt, type: gopher
   3. At the TERM=(vt100) prompt, press: return key (or enter your terminal
      type), and then enter your name at the request.  You will then be
      given the following menu:

   4. Select choice: "1. Access The AskERIC Virtual Library via GOPHER"

      LM_NET is found by moving through the following directories, which
      are given as menu choices through the Gopher menu:


 -->  AskERIC - (Educational Resources Information Center)/
   -->  Education Listservs Archives/
     -->  LM_NET/
          [And there you are!]

-----
   (For example, Telnet and log-on to AskERIC. Then you first must
   go into "The AskERIC Virtual Library via GOPHER", then choose
   "Education Listservs Archives", then "LM_NET", and you will enter
   the LM_NET section, which includes the discussion Archives, the
   LM_NET Directory, the Skills Indexof LM_NET Mentors, and other
   interesting information.)

Happy searching!  (It is a lot of fun to see what has been posted there.)
