One good way to meet hundreds of other people who are interested
in Traveller is to join the Traveller Mailing Lists. As of this
writing (July 96) there are two main lists. The first of these
deals mainly with _Traveller: The New Era_ (TNE). The second
list deals with the older versions of Traveller (Classic
Traveller, CT; and MegaTraveller, MT). To further confuse
matters, each list comes in two varieties: (1) a normal version
where you get each list post as a separate email message, and (2)
a digest version where the list software sticks a whole bunch of
posts together into a single mailing.

To subscribe to either of these lists:

     mail majordomo@mpgn.com

What message subject you choose is unimportant. However, the body
of your message determines which list(s) you will subscribe to.

     subscribe traveller             Normal TNE List
     subscribe traveller-digest      Digest TNE List

     subscribe xboat                 Normal CT/MT List
     subscribe xboat-digest          Digest CT/MT List

You can also append your email address to these list commands to
control the exact address which the list-server will know you by.
For example:

     subscribe traveller bubba@bubba.org

If you want to check out past material, digest archives of both
lists are available via ftp:

     ftp://ftp.mpgn.com/Gaming/SciFi/Traveller

If you are having difficulties with subscribing and need to talk
to a real live person, send email to traveller-request@mpgn.com
or xboat-request@mpgn.com depending on which list you're trying
to subscribe to. If you need help with the digest archives, send
email to ftp-maint@mpgn.com.
