[TenTec] New FAQ File and Administrator

[Ed Guzis .]

All,

A new Ten Tec Mail Reflector FAQ File is listed below. . it will be posted
this week at <http://www.contesting.com/tentecfaq.htm>.  Jim Lowman, AD6CW,
will be the new Ten Tec Mail Reflector Administrator as soon as the
electronic keys can be changed.  Jim recently subbed for me while I was on
vacation in June.

It has been a real pleasure administering the Reflector for the last 2
years - it has grown from approximately 200 to over 600 subscribers in that
time.  I have been constantly amazed at how well the Reflector runs itself
with all your help.  Thank you very much!!!  Please continue the quality
and cooperation and welcome your new Administrator, Jim Lowman (as soon as
the keys are transferred).

My best,

Ed Guzis, W9TW <owner-tentec@contesting.com>
Ten Tec Mail Reflector Administrator

PS Remember this as well as many other ham radio Reflectors at
<http://www.contesting.com> are brought to you by Bill Fisher, W4AN, and
others working in the background.

TENTEC@contesting.com FAQ 
Frequently Asked Questions about the TENTEC mail reflector
1998 August 27


How do I subscribe? 
*******************
To subscribe you simply send a message to tentec-request@contesting.com .
In the body of the message only type 'subscribe'. No subject or other text
is necessary. You should receive a confirmation message back within a few
minutes.


How do I unsubscribe? 
*********************
To unsubscribe you simply send a message to tentec-request@contesting.com .
In the body of the message only type 'unsubscribe'. No subject or other
text is necessary. You should receive a confirmation message back within a
few minutes.


What should I do if I change my eMail address and/or Internet Provider? 
**********************
Before you discontinue your existing eMail address or Internet Provider,
please unsubscribe (see above) using your existing account. Once you are
logged on using your new eMail address and/or Internet provider, subscribe
(see above). You will not miss a posting this way .. and .. you will save
me a lot of time reviewing mail delivery error messages.

If you already discontinued your previous eMail address before
unsubscribing, please send me an eMail (see below) and provide me with your
new and old eMail addresses. Thank you in advance!


How do I Post a message? 
************************
To POST a message on the TenTec mail reflector, simply send your message to
tentec@contesting.com. Make sure you have something in the SUBJECT of your
message.

Please, DO NOT send your message to tentec-request@contesting.com which is
for subscribing and unsubscribing only.


Full mailbox and other problems 
*******************************
When a posting can not be delivered to a user, a delivery error message is
automatically sent to the Reflector Administrator.  Sometimes this occurs
because a user's mailbox is full and can't accept any more incoming
messages.  Other times, the user's eMail address has been discontinued. 
Every reasonable effort will be made to continue the user's Ten Tec Mail
Reflector subscription.   However, considering the frequency of postings
and the number of subscribers, the subscription can only be continued a
short time. 

Sometimes a user still receives postings but will be unable to post to the
Reflector because his/her eMail address was changed by their Internet
provider.  You will need to contact the Ten Tec Mail Reflector
Administrator (see below) to correct this problem. 


Some suggestions for your posting: 
*********************************
DO include your name, callsign and eMail address.

DO contact TenTec by telephone if you want their repair service. TenTec
does not handle repairs on this mail reflector. See their website at for
additional information.

DO ensure your message pertains to a TenTec related topic. After all, that
is the purpose of this mail reflector.

DON'T waste everyone's time by flaming. There are more suitable places on
the web for that behavior.


How does the TenTec mail reflector work? 
****************************************
The mail reflector re-transmits all eMail messages received to the eMail
addresses of all TenTec mail reflector members. If a message is not
successfully delivered (i.e. user's mailbox full, user's Internet Server
down, etc.), the message is lost.


How can I read previous TenTec mail reflector postings? 
*******************************************************
The mail reflector re-transmits all eMail messages received to the eMail
addresses of all TenTec mail reflector members. The TenTec mail now
archives its postings at www.contesting.com/_tentec/ 


Note: a "_" precedes "tentec" in the above address - this address is case
sensitive.


What is the TenTec Digest? 
**************************
The TenTec Digest sends out each day a single message containing ALL
postings made to the TenTec Mail Reflector. If you would rather have a
single message each day instead of a message for each posting, subscribe to
the Digest. 


To subscribe to the Digest, send a message to
tentec-digest-request@contesting.com
Include a single word - subscribe - in the message text.
To unsubscribe from the Digest send a message to the same address but the
message text should have a single word - unsubscribe.


What if I have a problem or question? 
*************************************
Please address all problems and questions to Jim Lowman, AD6CW, at
owner-tentec@contesting.com . 


Enjoy the TenTec mail reflector! Jim, AD6CW
